In brief, schools closing for about 95% of the 15 weeks of the pandemic's duration and assuming a mitigation equivalent to 2% if the clinical attack rate was 34%, as outlined by Ferguson et al, 10 produces a 2.5% further reduction in gross domestic product compared with our four week closure scenarios; it reduces the infection rates, but the dominance of the case fatality rate in determining the transition point is such that the degree of prophylactic absenteeism remains the same. ./cache/cord-328748-ipv8awq7.txt ./txt/cord-328748-ipv8awq7.txt
