Description | Will mix selectively | Net benefit | |
---|---|---|---|
S | Susceptible | Yes | B S − C s(ϕ SI(t)) |
E | Latently infected: asymptomatic and noninfectious | Yes | B E − C s(ϕ SI(t)) |
A | Asymptomatically infected | Yes | B A − C s(ϕ SI(t)) |
Recovered from asymptomatic infection, immune | Yes | ||
I | Symptomatically infectious | No | B I − C I(I(t)) |
R | Recovered from symptomatic infection, immune | No | B R |
Susceptible, exposed, asymptomatically infectious, and recovered (from asymptomatic infection) individuals all choose to mitigate risk as if they were susceptible and thus carry the cost of mitigation.
