Fig. 3: Key model mechanisms.
From: Disease-economy trade-offs under alternative epidemic control strategies
A In voluntary isolation, susceptible individuals withdraw from economic activity due to the presence of infectious individuals (green dashed), while under targeted isolation susceptible agents engage in much more economic activity (blue dashed). B More infectious agents at activity sites under voluntary isolation lead to higher probability of infection throughout epidemic. C–E overall contacts, contacts by activity and prevalence (% infectious) do not change meaningfully across voluntary and targeted isolation, as the same infection outcomes are achieved despite enabling far more activity by susceptible individuals with targeted isolation.
