T157 0-4 Sentence denotes 3.1.
T158 5-23 Sentence denotes Modeling Framework
T159 24-128 Sentence denotes Our model consists of two main systems: information dissemination system and behavioral response system.
T160 129-270 Sentence denotes In the information dissemination system, each individual sends (receives) information to (from) its neighbors through an information network.
T161 271-562 Sentence denotes Given that information will always be rapidly, extensively [22], and spontaneously [19] misrepresented during transmission, and that most people do not send more accurate information than they receive [17,18], we assume information gets distorted and misrepresented during each transmission.
T162 563-675 Sentence denotes In the behavioral response system, each individual makes a move according to its information (with probability).
T163 676-930 Sentence denotes Once informed about the epidemic, some people behave rationally such as practicing social distancing, while others behave irrationally such as flocking to churches [53], to supermarkets [54], and taking radical actions like repeated hospital visits [55].
T164 931-1007 Sentence denotes The information dissemination system affects the behavioral response system.
T165 1008-1138 Sentence denotes The government might intervene in the information dissemination to reduce infections by either disclosing or blocking information.
T166 1139-1292 Sentence denotes For information disclosing, the government discloses information to all individuals to make them behave rationally (or at least not behave irrationally).
T167 1293-1444 Sentence denotes Obviously, the more accurate the information is and the earlier it is disclosed, the public can be better guided which lowers the final infection rate.
T168 1445-1576 Sentence denotes However, it takes time for government to censor and screen information before disclosing, which brings an accuracy-speed trade-off.
T169 1577-1916 Sentence denotes We use a disclosing threshold to measure the government’s preference on speed or accuracy; a higher threshold indicates a higher preference on accuracy: a threshold “1” means the government would not disclose any information unless it is completely accurate; while “0” indicates an immediate disclosure without any censoring and screening.
T170 1917-2025 Sentence denotes For information blocking, the government blocks less-accurate information transmissions between individuals.
T171 2026-2118 Sentence denotes Obviously, a stringent blocking leads to a transmission of information with higher accuracy.
T172 2119-2281 Sentence denotes However, blocking will slow down the overall information dissemination in the network, and then slow down the government’s censoring and screening of information.
T173 2282-2341 Sentence denotes Thus, there is a trade-off between disclosing and blocking.
T174 2342-2597 Sentence denotes We use a blocking threshold to measure the blocking stringency, the government would block any transmission of any under-threshold information: a threshold “0” means no blocking at all; while “1” means that government blocks all information transmissions.
T175 2598-2655 Sentence denotes We analyze both of the optimal thresholds for government.
T176 2656-2734 Sentence denotes More details on the settings of our model can be found in the Methods section.
T177 2735-2817 Sentence denotes In reality, the government has a great influence on the information dissemination.
T178 2818-3073 Sentence denotes Thus, in our model, we assume that the government node is the most critical one and the government-disclosed information highly outweighs individuals’ information (except for the further discussion of a government with low credibility in a later section).
