Here's a pretty neat visualization of indoor spread and also how certain mitigation steps can help.

Nothing groundbreaking for this crowd.

My question is what can be done to help move people who are in the anti-masker, open it up camp to engage in these simpler NPIs that can have a substantial impact on public health? It seems that the folks in those camps are religiously committed to their position, and much of the rest of society is fatigued. I don't know that this article and the graphics are going to move people. I don't know what will at this point. Anyone have any ideas or are we just going to be forced to suffer it out?

At this point, unfortunately,  it's likely  the only thing that may change the mind of one who is opposed to masking is if they experience personal impact.  If someone they know gets adversely affected.  

But that won't happen at a large enough scale unless the world gets way more infected.  =(
