Table 3 Number of deaths and average lockdown value resulting from a different number of outgoing edges per subregion in the multiscale SIRD model of the Phoenix MSA. By using a model incorporating more edges, we can reduce the deaths by up to 26%, without inducing a significant increase in the average lockdown value.
