Question

These (20[1])events increase, but do not accelerate the increase in, an intermediate "E" state in a compartmental model named for four states. Kermack and McKendrick introduced an ODE model in which the rate of these events equals a difference involving the coefficients beta-over-population size and gamma. These events act on "susceptible" individuals, (0[1])who can later become (*) "removed" or "recovered." (10[4])The expected number of these (0[1])events (10[1]0[2])following a single (0[1])one of them (10[1])is the (0[1])basic (10[1])reproductive (10[1])number, R-nought. (10[2]0[1])These events (0[1])increase the number of individuals in the "I" (0[1])state of the SIR (10[1])model, (10[3]0[1])and they occur over large ranges in a pandemic. (10[1]0[2])For (10[1])10 (10[1]0[1])points, name these events in which a pathogen spreads (10[1])to new patients. (10[4]0[1])■END■ (10[9]0[6])
