    Snippet: The general means for slowing down infections is well-known: distancing, and ultimately quarantine. If contagious persons do not meet susceptible persons anymore, then the virus cannot spread any further. Also, spreading does not necessarily have to be reduced to zero: Once every infected person infects less than one other person, the virus dies out.

    Document: The general means for slowing down infections is well-known: distancing, and ultimately quarantine. If contagious persons do not meet susceptible persons anymore, then the virus cannot spread any further. Also, spreading does not necessarily have to be reduced to zero: Once every infected person infects less than one other person, the virus dies out. The general dynamics is captured in the socalled SIR model, with S = susceptible, I = infected, and R = recovered (Kermack, McKendrick, and Walker 1927; R. M. Anderson and May 1979) . Every time a susceptible and an infected person meet, there is a probability that the susceptible person becomes infected. Some time after the infection, the person typically recovers.
