Amazing: According to analysis by Joseph Eastman, if as little as 15% of the population were to mask, we could get #COVID19 risks as low as we pretend they are today. Here is his future model. Each line is different rates of masking. The yellow line is 15%.

Here is a masking study that's based on my recent forecast that was through January 8th. These are various levels of masking compliance using N95's with a 78% prevention rate. Do you think we should mask more? MAPS thinks so. Even if we could get to 15% it'd make a big difference

@augieray I need to read up on his methodology. That sounds too good to be true, but maybe it's real. As one of the <2.5% who always mask when indoors with people I don't live with, I'm happy that I could be making a difference in overall prevalence as well as protecting myself.

@augieray more prevention means fewer cases, which means more prevention. This is more-or-less what I'd expect.
