The table shows the main results along with miscellaneous information about the simulation.

Figures refer to simulated values at the end of the run, 60 days. The mean, where applicable, was taken over the set of runs that ran their course through the full 60 days.

The extinction runs hence did not affect the means but their numbers are of course interesting in their own right.

The 95% simulation intervals (SI) were calculated by bootstrapping 10 000 samples.

By incidence, we mean the number of infectious people.

Intermunicipal infections is the percentage of the total number of infected that caught the disease via intermunicipal infection.

There are 289 municipalities in Sweden and the population is approximately 8.9 million.
