Figure 4: Increase in the susceptible pool following the launch of the Comprehensive Support System for Children and Childcare in Japan.
(A) Direct comparisons between the estimates of susceptible proportion at the beginning of each season in each island (black) and the number of children attending childcare facilities in Japan (red). Shaded regions represent the 95% credible interval in our estimates. (B) Correlations between the estimates of susceptible proportion at the beginning of each season in each island and the number of children attending childcare facilities in Japan. Error bars represent the 95% credible interval in our estimates. Red lines and shaded regions represent the best fitting linear regression and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
