        “Cities in which multiple interventions were implemented at an early phase of the epidemic had peak death rates ≈50% lower than those that did not and had less-steep epidemic curves.” https://www.pnas.org/content/104/18/7582 …pic.twitter.com/GrSrtvJSFj

        Social distancing and avoiding crowding reduced the “peak incidence of an epidemic and spread it over many, rather than a few, weeks” for the 1957 and 1968 influenza pandemics.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3291415/ …
