denotes |
In previous sections, our study was based on the neutral government assumption that governments only seek the lowest infection rate. |
T228 |
192-349 |

T231 |
526-725 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An unaccountable government that evades responsibilities would only care for lower new infections after intervention rather than global infections, which digresses from the objective described above. |
T232 |
726-851 |

T233 |
852-1048 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There are two underlying reasons: (1) late disclosed information will indeed be more accurate, which reduces the infection rate; and (2) there are less uninfected people at the time of disclosing. |

Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, a blame-evading government would delay the disclosing to avoid being held accountable. |

T236 |
1349-1588 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Since the optimal strategy would not be accessed until all external conditions are fully judged and scrutinized, which is not feasible for COVID-19, complete blocking would be optimal for such a government to avoid the worst case scenario. |
T237 |
1589-1703 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our experiment of 484 different scenarios manifests a complete blocking will never lead to the highest infections. |
