Snippet: [15] The timescale of infections are much smaller than the aging process. In other words, the aging process across the disease time scale is negligible and the age-dependent transport terms ∂P/∂a can be neglected. In Fig. S1 , we show additional examples of mortality-ratio estimates for Iran, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. As in Fig. 1 in the main text, we observe that, by definition, the populationbased mor.....
Document: [15] The timescale of infections are much smaller than the aging process. In other words, the aging process across the disease time scale is negligible and the age-dependent transport terms ∂P/∂a can be neglected. In Fig. S1 , we show additional examples of mortality-ratio estimates for Iran, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. As in Fig. 1 in the main text, we observe that, by definition, the populationbased mortality ratio M 0 p (t) is significantly larger than the corresponding CFR in all cases.
