Before revision:  Indeed, we theoretically prove that nodes of high-degree  are disproportionately in the Removed state after a first wave of infection, which has very positive consequences. In particular, powerlaw graphs do not retain their structure after a few waves of infection, which implies second and third waves may be of much smaller amplitude than the first wave.
After revision:  Indeed, we theoretically prove that nodes of high-degree are disproportionately in the Removed state , which is a form of targeted immunization. Even if quarantines are declared too early, subsequent waves of infection spread slower than the first wave.
