Assessment of the singular impact of increases in baseline social-distancing compliance on COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Simulations of the model (2.5)–(2.6) showing (A) cumulative mortality, as a function of time; (B) daily mortality, as a function of time, for various levels of increases in baseline social-distancing (SD) compliance (cs) attained during the third wave of the pandemic in the United States. Parameter values used in the simulations are as given by the baseline values in Tables 3, 4, with β1 and β2 multiplied by (1 − cs).
