[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3357357, member: 688"] When mask wearing is required/highly encouraged in indoor and/or crowded situations the transmission of the disease slows greatly. That is the main take-away from the graph. It seems like a very reasonable conclusion. The text of the article says that... Both Hong Kong and Taiwan have nearly 100% voluntary compliance and the disease is well contained there. Masks worn by the public are preventing sick/asymptomatic spreaders from infecting others. I cannot think of an argument against this. Different model assumptions should only [U]shift[/U] the curves in the graph, not change the basic shape of the curve. Doctor's office waiting rooms Crowded stores Movies Subways, trains, airplanes Jails* Crowded immigrant apartments* Those places would be much safer if everyone is wearing a mask. The "check your temperature at the door" is going to miss the many asymptomatic carriers. *Not sure what to do about the last two on the list. [/QUOTE]
