aThe ordering of the countries is discussed in Table 2.

bThe last column includes the values for the expected total number of cases NT when the number of infections has dropped to near zero and is an extrapolated value.

cN/A: Not applicable, as there is no relevant wave (subepidemic) for the respective parameter value to be obtained.
