    Snippet: There is a simple intuition for this latter result. In an exponentially growing epidemic, things that happen earlier have the largest effect. If we increase the variation in latent period while holding R constant, we have more early progression and more late progression to infectiousness. The former effect will be more important, and thus increasing variation should.....
