Modeling and public health emergency responses: Lessons from SARS	2011-01-28		.txt	text/plain	4361	196	40	By overestimating the potential of managing contacts versus cases, moreover, we may even have inadvertently contributed to a lingering misunderstanding of means by which this epidemic was controlled that will affect their future responses to newly-emerging infectious diseases. Given the assumptions outlined above, together with a gamma distribution, these results suggest that for a disease with ℜ 0 = 3, isolation that was 100% effective in blocking transmission could prevent ℜ 0 − 1 infections (and thus lead to epidemic control) if implemented up to 5.2 days after symptom onset, on average (Fig. 1) . Knowledgeable public health practitioners might have cautioned against overestimating the potential impact of managing contacts of SARS patients, and interpreted observations suggesting that infected people were not particularly infectious until acutely ill as an indication for managing cases instead.	./cache/cord-279861-gk8cow8k.txt	./txt/cord-279861-gk8cow8k.txt
