1. Carrier w/o mask to healthy contact w/mask: probability of transmission = 70%
2. Carrier w/mask to healthy contact w/o mask: probability of transmission = 5%
3. Carrier w/mask to healthy contact w/mask: probability of transmission = 1.5%

Conclusion: It is best when both parties wear a mask; it is best to stay away from anyone not wearing a mask. This is particularly true in this county (Sumter) which has the highest median age in the country.
