Table 3.

Two-populations model. Optimal model parameters (median and interquartile range). Euclidean-norm minimization with α1=0,α2=1. Fixed fraction of hospitalized who died ωy=0.0991,ωo=0.3248 (see text for justification). Variation range used in the optimization algorithm (initial parameter and initial-condition guesses were uniformly sampled within the ranges shown).

The reported transmission rates β have been multiplied by N. They should be normalized by the initial population when used in the ODE model.
