O'nG,
K, FWIW.....
. Prior reference [5]
Estimate of incubation time gives a start point to the problem (prior reference [3]) . . .
Yes, I think I understand. I've reviewed the cited references. However, I have missed the relationship to the assertion in your post to which I responded:
A possible glimmer of light comes from the observation that if the average infectious period is reduced to <2.3 days, then the outbreak would stop. There are ways of doing that, China has commenced such action that would alter that in essence, a mass clampdown on activity, which in a round about manner achieves the same outcome.
I don't see how any public health measure could change either the average latency period (the period between exposure and appearance of symptoms) or the average time during which an infected individual is shedding virus particles into the environment. Perhaps you meant something else by "infectious period."
