    Snippet: To check the soundness of this expression, note that if r = 1 (social distancing was completely ineffective in reducing transmission) then ω = 0, and we obtain the classical expression for the final size in Equation (5) . Another similar instance is given by σ = 1 which corresponds to T = 0. Equation (7) implicitly relates f and t 0 . The functional form of f (t 0 ) would serve to derive a condition on t 0 that minimizes f , that is, find t * 0.....

The functional form of f (t 0 ) would serve to derive a condition on t 0 that minimizes f , that is, find t * 0 such that min[f (t 0 )] = f (t * 0 ). However, such transcendental equation does not allow us to isolate f .
