Figure 6.

Mean difference in peak times $\mathbb{E}[t_2-t_1]$. Error bars indicate the standard deviation in the difference $t_2-t_1$, whereas the blue shaded region represents the standard deviation of the samples. The vertical shaded region ${\kappa }^{*}\in [1.15,1.25]$ marks the critical interval of $\kappa$ for which we observe non-vanishing attack rates (cf. Figure 4). Directly after the critical region, we observe a decoupling in the timing of the epidemic peaks, illustrated by the rapid increase in this difference in the post-critical phase.
