Figure 2

Projected symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections over 300 days in the United States across a range of transmission and Paxlovid treatment scenarios. Estimated incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections are shown assuming an effective reproduction number of 3.0 (A), 1.7 (B), or 1.2 (C). Colors correspond to 3 different treatment scenarios: 0% (blue), 20% (green), or 50% (orange) of symptomatic cases received a 5-day Paxlovid regimen initiated within 3 days of symptom onset.
