    Snippet: fixing the average period of infectivity at 2.4 days, which based on current evidence 6 , was too low and likely resulted in an over-estimation of the transmission rate. The study further assuming a flat 0%/50%/75% drop in transmissibility following Wuhan city lockdown.

    Document: fixing the average period of infectivity at 2.4 days, which based on current evidence 6 , was too low and likely resulted in an over-estimation of the transmission rate. The study further assuming a flat 0%/50%/75% drop in transmissibility following Wuhan city lockdown. Transmission models with more sophisticated assumptions have since been proposed 7, 8 , including ones with time-dependent control policies 9 or non-Markovian transmission dynamics 10 . But these studies rarely made use of data beyond the confirmed number of cases such as the number of suspected cases. Another key factor that shall not be neglected in modelling is the real-time healthcare system capacity. While some studies have considered its impact 11 , few have incorporated such a factor dynamically in their transmission models.
