    Snippet: Our transmission function, which appears on page 8 of the manuscript, is based on pair-wise contact between two individuals, one who is infectious and one who is susceptible. Our 'force of infection' parameter β adjusts the probability of transmission to reflect alternative attack rates (cf. reproduction number). Differential transmission by location is captured by adjusting contact parameters, that is, whois-in-contact-with-whom, for contact in.....
    Document: Our transmission function, which appears on page 8 of the manuscript, is based on pair-wise contact between two individuals, one who is infectious and one who is susceptible. Our 'force of infection' parameter β adjusts the probability of transmission to reflect alternative attack rates (cf. reproduction number). Differential transmission by location is captured by adjusting contact parameters, that is, whois-in-contact-with-whom, for contact in schools, large workplaces and in the wider community.
