Range of parameters considered to study sensitivity of results.
| Parameter | Change | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| From | To | ||
| hospital antiviral compliance | 0.5 | 0.75 | increase probability that a diagnosed person actually takes the prescribed antivirals |
| β in demand function | 40 | 120 | increase elasticity of demand to disease prevalence |
| Pmax ($) | 100 | 75 | lower the maximum market price of antivirals |
| threshold of “stay-home” | 0.0005 | 0.0001 | lower threshold for triggering “stay-home” intervention |
| compliance rate of “stay-home” | 0.5 | 0.75 | increase probability of diagnosed people taking “stay-home” measure |
| demand function | exponential | linear | change the functional form of the demand function |
| cumulative number of infections as a percentage of population | 40% | 50% | increase transmissibility to reach a higher infection attack rate |
