Table 2. The effect of the delay, Δ, on dynamics of infecteds*.

Δ Outcome
0 Monotone convergence to I^
1 Damped oscillation to I^
2 I^ locally unstable; I0 < 72 bounded oscillation; I0 > 73 unbounded oscillation
3 I^ locally unstable; collapse (−∞)
4 I^ locally unstable; collapse (−∞)

* In all cases, N = 10, 000, b0 = 0.05, γ = 0.08, c^=0.0015, α = 0.375, I^=35.718. I0 = 1 unless stated.
