This continuous approach enables easy calculation of one of the most interesting values describing the potential effect of an outbreak, i.e., the basic reproduction number, which is a simple function of the ODE parameters: Although continuous models based on the ODEs give many interesting and practical results, it is well known [3] that there exists a large stochastic effect in the epidemic process. Considering once more the effect of intervention (see plots (b) and (d) in Fig. 3 and 4) , we can observe that, with intervention included, the duration of the epidemic does not strongly depend on the parameters of the model. ./cache/cord-280064-rz8cglyt.txt ./txt/cord-280064-rz8cglyt.txt
