Effect of SAPs on number of deaths relative to the counterfactual (without SAPs). a, Predicted average deaths per DSP per day with (red) and without (blue) SAPs from 1 January to 7 April. The difference between these two lines is regarded as the effect of SAPs, the red circles show observed deaths and the grey bars the cumulative percentage of DSPs with SAPs each day. b, Number of deaths from each disease that could be averted by SAPs in China, estimated using the entire nation’s population in the cities with SAPs.
