    Snippet: To further corroborates our results, we calculated the efforts needed to achieve three goals in 18 242 months: 1) virus containment, i.e. epidemic stops growing, 2) the total infected population is 243 10%, and 3) the total infected population is 1%. We found that the efforts needed are similar, 244 especially when the population of infected individuals is already more than 100 (Fig. 3C) , i.e. a 245 scenario that many cities around the globe are.....
    Document: To further corroborates our results, we calculated the efforts needed to achieve three goals in 18 242 months: 1) virus containment, i.e. epidemic stops growing, 2) the total infected population is 243 10%, and 3) the total infected population is 1%. We found that the efforts needed are similar, 244 especially when the population of infected individuals is already more than 100 (Fig. 3C) , i.e. a 245 scenario that many cities around the globe are facing now. For example, when an outbreak grows 246 at rate 0·29/day, the levels of efforts needed to achieve the three goals are between 84% and 86% 247 reduction in transmission; whereas when the growth rate is 0·19 /day, the levels of effort needed 248 are between 77% and 80% reduction. These high levels of reduction needed argue for very 249 strong and comprehensive intervention efforts implemented as soon as possible, no matter 250 whether the goal is containment or mitigation -a strategy reminiscent of the 'hit hard, hit early' 251 paradigm in treating HIV infection in a patient 16 . 252 253
