    Snippet: The findings herein serve to show the important "proof of concept" of an optimal time to initiate social distancing, which arises as an interesting and potentially useful feature of a simple epidemiological model. Our hope is that these insights inspire other researchers to investigate the existence of optimal (or just more effective) times to implement social distancing measures within the context of more complex and data-driven epidemiological .....
    Document: The findings herein serve to show the important "proof of concept" of an optimal time to initiate social distancing, which arises as an interesting and potentially useful feature of a simple epidemiological model. Our hope is that these insights inspire other researchers to investigate the existence of optimal (or just more effective) times to implement social distancing measures within the context of more complex and data-driven epidemiological models, as to better serve decision makers developing strategic policies to mitigate the extent of current and future epidemics.
