    Snippet: We found that, when implemented alone, none of these shorter-duration interventions were able to decrease the healthcare need to below available capacity. We estimated that neither school closures, social distancing, elderly shielding, or self-isolation alone would reduce R 0 enough to lead to a substantial decline in the total number of cases ( Fig. 2c ).

    Document: We found that, when implemented alone, none of these shorter-duration interventions were able to decrease the healthcare need to below available capacity. We estimated that neither school closures, social distancing, elderly shielding, or self-isolation alone would reduce R 0 enough to lead to a substantial decline in the total number of cases ( Fig. 2c ). In particular, school closures had a limited impact in our projections, despite our model accounting for substantial asymptomatic transmission among children. This contrasts with strategies aimed at suppressing the spread of pandemic influenza, for which school closures are often a key intervention [19] .
