T238 0-2 Sentence denotes 4.
T239 3-14 Sentence denotes Conclusions
T240 15-412 Sentence denotes In this paper, we introduce the non-dualism (by non-dualism, we mean the information is neither absolutely accurate nor absolutely not but partially accurate) of information and the heterogeneity of nodes’ behaviors into the epidemic model and conduct a simulation to reveal the information intervention dilemma faced by the government and to explore the trade-offs among corresponding strategies.
T241 413-528 Sentence denotes Our experiments highlight that:For information disclosing, governments face a trade-off between speed and accuracy.
T242 529-678 Sentence denotes A better medical understanding of the virus and an inadequate public health awareness make accuracy outweigh speed; otherwise, a quick one is better.
T243 679-888 Sentence denotes For information blocking, the optimal strategy is contingent on varying conditions: no blocking is usually optimal for a well-known virus and a higher public health awareness; otherwise, blocking is preferred.
T244 889-1019 Sentence denotes The optimal combination of disclosing and blocking is highly sensitive to the government preference and its governance capability.
T245 1020-1403 Sentence denotes A government that is only responsible for the outcome of intervention will focus unilaterally on accuracy at the expense of speed; a risk-averse government that intends to minimize the maximum infection rate in uncertain scenarios will impose a more restrictive blocking; and the most restrictive blocking strategy might be best for governments with lower capability and credibility.
T246 1404-1607 Sentence denotes These findings reveal the complexity in government decision-making about dissemination of disease information: neither allowing free flow of information nor disclosing it as early as possible is optimal.
T247 1608-1700 Sentence denotes Under extreme conditions, they are even harmful to the goal of controlling disease outbreak.
T248 1701-1946 Sentence denotes The interaction between information and infectious disease deepens our knowledge about public health crisis governance, enriches the existing theories in public economics and public management, and provides useful social and policy implications.
T249 1947-2019 Sentence denotes In reality, some governments are not as capable and credible as assumed.
T250 2020-2171 Sentence denotes A lower credibility will discount the effects of disclosing information or even annul it, which makes a total blocking optimal as shown in Figure 6c,d.
T251 2172-2340 Sentence denotes The bankruptcy of government credibility originates in two ways: (1) the government’s past mediocre performance; (2) the public’s inherent belief in “small government”.
T252 2341-2625 Sentence denotes Meanwhile, a similar experience in the past also affected government responses and effects, as we can see with the horrible painful memories of SARS inducing vigilance for COVID-19 in East Asia countries, while the U.S. and Europe were indifferent in the early stage of this pandemic.
T253 2626-2757 Sentence denotes In the preceding discussion, we relaxed one assumption at a time, whereas the government’s preferences are more complex in reality.
T254 2758-3047 Sentence denotes In a broader context, the government’s preferences (objective function) are affected by two things: the government’s perception and judgment of the epidemic (decision-making base), and the government’s priorities in different objectives (decision-making objectives); both change over time.
T255 3048-3085 Sentence denotes This paper also has some limitations.
T256 3086-3317 Sentence denotes For instance, our discussion focuses mainly on the theoretical mechanisms behind the joint spreading process of information and epidemic, and the proposed intervention strategies have not yet been analyzed with the real-world data.
T257 3318-3418 Sentence denotes One reason for the lack of empirical analysis is the complex set-up of the bi-layered network model.
T258 3419-3619 Sentence denotes The information dissemination network and the physical-layer contact network are not precisely observable in the real world, which makes it challenging for acquiring sufficient data for model fitting.
T259 3620-3859 Sentence denotes On the other hand, the observed infection and information dissemination process are often already intervened in by the government; therefore, it is hard to separate the net effect of government intervention from the ex-post spreading data.
T260 3860-3941 Sentence denotes Then, it is technically difficult to quantify the key parameters of intervention.
T261 3942-4214 Sentence denotes To this end, we believe more sophisticated empirical techniques have to be introduced for the implement data-oriented analysis of our model, such as the network reconstruction and the causal detection techniques, which forms a promising direction for future investigation.
