    Snippet: Simulations for the optimal t 0 : flattening the epidemic Optimal t 0 for peak delay Figure (4) also indicates that R 0 is the key factor in determining the optimal time to initiate social distancing if the goal is to delay the epidemic peak. Again, as R 0 increases, the sooner social distancing should start (see Figure (6)). Longer T and smaller r yield greater delays (up to 250 days), as expected (see Figure (9) in Appendix 3).

    Document: Simulations for the optimal t 0 : flattening the epidemic Optimal t 0 for peak delay Figure (4) also indicates that R 0 is the key factor in determining the optimal time to initiate social distancing if the goal is to delay the epidemic peak. Again, as R 0 increases, the sooner social distancing should start (see Figure (6)). Longer T and smaller r yield greater delays (up to 250 days), as expected (see Figure (9) in Appendix 3). Finally, the lower the R 0 the greater the delay in peak timing.
