Baseline: Estimates from reconstructed IPLD, without incorporation of COVID-19 risk.

Low Risk: Case fatality rate = 10%, infection risk per fraction = 1%.

Medium Risk: Case fatality rate = 20%, infection risk per fraction = 5%.

High Risk: Case fatality rate = 30%, infection risk per fraction = 10%.
