Just a question, I'm a non believer in viruses infectivity so how do I compensate for these?

Disease Parameters

Contagiousness 1

Days of Infectiousness 5

Implied Recovery Rate 0.2

Do I just take them from official sources if they say that they exist. Or they standard across this virus of Chronus?

Big thank you btw.

The more is contagiousness, the steeper is the curve in the beginning. The peaks would be higher and the duration of pandemic would be shorter.

Try to select contagiousness to match the beginning of the curve in your country. Usually it is 8-10 times a week increase in cases in the beginning, to become less steep as time goes on.
