Summary

Authors describe a model of COVID-19 disease transmission and progression, and 5 interventions to mitigate or suppress transmission: Case isolation in the home, Voluntary home quarantine, Social distancing of those over 70 years of age, Social distancing of entire population, and Closure of schools and universities. Find that a combination of multiple interventions is needed, and only suppression can avoid overwhelming health systems and large death counts.
