Figure 4

Proportion of coronavirus disease cases, hospitalizations, and deaths averted during 100 days for various social distancing scenarios in which adults reduce their contact by 25% (A–C); 75% (D–F); and 95% (G–I). We used parameter values of R0 = 3, γ = 1/5.02, σ = 1/5.16. Error bars represent results of 1,000 parameter simulations with the top and bottom 2.5% simulations removed.
