    Document: NPIs were implemented during the 1918 pandemic and more recently during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003. Although research on these events confirms the importance of NPIs, suboptimal triggering during the 1918 pandemic rendered NPIs only moderately effective at reducing mortality [10] [11] [12] .
