Notes: This table shows best-fit model posterior estimates of the median and 95% confidence intervals for key epidemiological parameters derived from 200 simulation of the model. To simulate the sharp increase in cities in Hubei, we assume a testing rate of cities in Hubei equal to 1 on February 13, so the testing rate in Hubei in February 13 is not estimated.
