    Snippet: We use numerical simulations of the model in (2)-(3) with the goal to find the optimal t 0 for reducing the final epidemic size as a function of R 0 , the length of the social distancing intervention (T ) and its effectiveness in reducing disease transmissibility (r). The model was simulated for 5 years over a wide range of values for R 0 , T and r (see Appendix 2 for details). For the first set of simulations, we assumed that t I = ∞ (i.e., no.....

The model was simulated for 5 years over a wide range of values for R 0 , T and r (see Appendix 2 for details). For the first set of simulations, we assumed that t I = ∞ (i.e., no pharmacological intervention becomes available during the epidemic).
