    Snippet: A very important quantity is how the number of infected people (n.b. not only reported!) increases over time, because this quantity carries information about how immunty builds up and when the growth rate will start declining due to partial population immunity. We hence let Λ I (t) denote the total number of infected individuals up until time t. This cumulative number is never observed. What can be observed is the cumulative number of reported c.....
