Turns out that Donald Burke co-wrote a paper on social distancing with Neil Ferguson in 2006 : . Ferguson NM, Cummings DA, Fraser C,

Cajka JC, Cooley PC, Burke DS. Strategies formitigating an influenza pandemic. Nature. 2006 Jul 27;442(7101):448-52.

COHENCIDENTALLY, in the same year Robert Glass at Sandia National Labs along with his high school daughter (yup) did the same: The 2006 Origins of the Lockdown Idea

Laura’s name appears on the foundational paper arguing for lockdowns and forced human separation. That paper is Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza (2006). It set out a model for forced separation and applied it with good results backwards in time to 1957. They conclude with a chilling call for what amounts to a totalitarian lockdown, all stated very matter-of-factly.

Papers are listed in this document: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/pdf/community_mitigation-sm.pdf

which I found because of another paper written by Glass: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228930812_Pandemic_Influenza_and_Complex_Adaptive_System_of_Systems_CASoS_Engineering

I present the story of my and colleagues' involvement in formulating the US's policy for mitigating pandemic influenza that culminated in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's issuance of Interim Pre-Pandemic Planning Guidance in February 2007. Modeling lies at the heart of this formulation, but interaction, drive, serendipity, hard work, and advocacy for the use of models to select robust policy in the face of great uncertainty were required for its actualization. Reflecting on this entire process, and others in which high impact influence has been achieved, has led myself and colleagues to the recognition that nearly all the systems we wish to influence can be categorized as Complex Adaptive Systems of Systems or CASoS and that our field of endeavor is CASoS Engineering.
