More cases than infections #239

Open kirchnergo opened 1 year ago

In a simulation results I get more total_case than total_infected. How is that possible? Is this due to false positive tests? If so, how can I identify the true cases (ideally without keeping track of it at the single steps)? Thx.

Okay ... I found a way: From the transitions I take the is_case field to get the true cases, and the count of the nonnegative time_death field for the true deaths. For deaths this makes no difference. The meaning of the total_cases is still a bit unclear :S ...
