No intervention: the epidemic curves for the networks G₁, G₂ on which we apply the intervention methods. G₁ is a GIRG with $(\tau ,\alpha )=(2.5,1.3)$and average degree 9.6, while G₂ is a GIRG with $(\tau ,\alpha )=(2.5,1.3)$and average degree 8.7. Top: The first peak of the epidemic. Bottom: The second peak and stabilization of the number of infected. The average height and location of the first peak is ${\overline{H}}_1\left(G_1\right)=82785$on day 8 for G₁, while it is ${\overline{H}}_1\left(G_2\right)=78263$on day 14 for GIRG with $(\tau ,\alpha )=(3.3,1.3)$. On G₂, we see a second peak at day 79 of average height ${\overline{H}}_2\left(G_2\right)=6538,$and the equilibrium number of infected $\overline{E}\left(G_2\right)\approx 5000\pm 100$. The equilibrium number of infected $\overline{E}\left(G_1\right)\approx 4700\pm 100$is reached without a second peak on G₁.
