Caveats
• Assump2ons:
– Behavioral
changes
effect
each
transmission
route
similarly
– Mixing
occurs
differently
for
each
of
the
three
compartments
but
uniformly
within
• These
models
are
likely
“overfi.ed”
– Many
combos
of
parameters
will
fit
the
same
curve
– Guided

knowledge
of
the

keep

plausible
