Snippet: Response: All the interventions we used in the present study are based on social distancing. We think that these types of interventions are quite feasible since they are the most cost effective and do not rely on the supply of antiviral drugs. Our view is supported by other studies which have analyzed pandemic influenza preparedness plans for low and medium income countries.

Document: Response: All the interventions we used in the present study are based on social distancing. We think that these types of interventions are quite feasible since they are the most cost effective and do not rely on the supply of antiviral drugs. Our view is supported by other studies which have analyzed pandemic influenza preparedness plans for low and medium income countries. These show that a higher proportion of low-income countries have social distancing interventions planned in the case of an outbreak, compared to high income European countries due to their feasibility and cost-effectiveness, given that the supply of antiviral drugs will be difficult in developing nations [3, 4] . We have now included additional text in the discussion section of the manuscript regarding the feasibiltity of the interventions we modelled in this study. This text can be found below.
