Fig. 5. Random testing without lockdown.
Strength and duration of optimal random testing and its impact on the epidemic. (A) The intensity and duration of optimal random testing. (B) Resultant production compared to initial pre-epidemic production. (C) The relative size of the susceptible population. (D) The numbers of hospitalized individuals. In (B) to (D), the black line illustrates the laissez-faire case of zero testing. In each figure, we vary the initiation of testing: two weeks (blue), 4 weeks (yellow), 8 weeks (green), and 16 weeks (red). Values of the economic and epidemiological parameters are described in Table 1 (r = 1, c = 0).
