Quantifying Social Interventions for Combating COVID-19 via a Symmetry-Based Model

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper is a valuable addition to epidemiology. In the past two years a large amount of data has been collected and it is high time researchers revisiting many of the fundamental assumptions in the mathematical models of epidemics. This paper can be seen as a first step in this direction, through inventing phenomenological models that fits the data. 

The paper is very well-organized and well-written. I suggest publication in the present form.
