Table 4.

Model-predicted outcomes when varying the start for all control measures. In the status quo, all control measures were implemented on Jan 23, 2020. For all scenarios, we assumed workforce (“Adults”) social distancing in cities other than Wuhan ended on Feb 29, 2020. All other control measures were assumed to continue through Mar 31, 2020. Outcomes are aggregated from Dec 1, 2019 through Mar 31, 2020
