Fixed parameter values estimated based on available published literature.
| Symbols | Values | Units | Definitions | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| μ | 1/(80.3 * 365) | 1/day | Natural Death Rate (Reciprocal of the average life expectancy of 17 countries sampled) | 14,65 |
| μS | 0.00159 | 1/day | Infected death rate | 22,66 |
| η | 5.5 | days | Incubation Period | 67 |
| 1/⍵ | η−ε−1 | days | Expected time in the asymptomatic state | Fitted and dependent on η |
| ν | 0.031 | 1/day | Recovery rate (Average of 3–6 weeks) | 67 |
| p | 0.956 | Unitless | Fraction that move along the “mild” recovery track | 20 |
| k | 0.649 | 1/day | Viral decay rate in environment (using average of all material values, wood, steal, cardboard, plastic) | 30 |
These estimated values derived from the existing COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 literature.
