If everyone would put on a mask and socially distance in a responsible way, this thing would be under control. 3% spread rate if the infected person is wearing a mask. If asymptotic people would wear masks, it would essentially end it.
Probably not. I think there'd be stronger, more obvious results from mask wearing if that were the case.

Not arguing against masks. Just saying it's probably not true that we could just stop this with any realistic group behavior.
