Fraction of people compliant with the masks policy(asymmetric-distancing-fraction-compliant-fv) 0.7 Fraction of infection that still gets through from mask wearer to other person (asymmetric-distancing-outbound-ineffectiveness) 0.3 Fraction of infection that still gets through from non-mask-wearer to mask-wearing person (asymmetric-distancing-inbound-ineffectiveness) 0.8
Given this, and numerous other assumptions including no other measures taken, the death rate falls from 0.65% to 0.48% of the population. This is a good benefit but not a total solution.
If you have better numbers for mask effectiveness than the ones I guesstimated above please let me know.
The other main dubious assumption in my model (other than no other measures taken) is uniformity of people. I am adding some options on that tomorrow.
