Even if the intervention is extended from one to four months, no herd immunity is created and, thus, the epidemic rebounds and will run eight months, instead of three (Fig 3) or less (Fig 12) . To avoid or even reduce the rebound, one would have to end the restrictions in the lowest risk populations (school children, young adults) first to increase the immune/susceptible ratio (the effects of targeting subpopulations differently are not accounted for in simple SIR models).
