There was an article that had several simulations of social distancing and at that time (a couple weeks ago) they were estimating the flattening of the curve when only 25% of people practiced social distancing/self-quarantining.
It also showed 'no restrictions' vs. 'moderate restrictions' vs. 'crazy restrictions', and just having something in place did matter quite a bit for their projections.
And who knows... of course it would be different for NYC versus Kansas City versus Winslow, Arizona.
