4 years ago This doesn't answer your question but there is more commentary about what is in and not in the model here: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/there-are-ways-we-can-move-out-of-stage-three-faster-20200911-p55upg.html
Hi Dr Thompson, thank you for making this code public. I just wanted to get a bit of an understanding whether some of the current restrictions are included in the model. Am I correct in thinking the model essentially treats all masked encounters with the same weight, ie there isn't any weighting for indoor/outdoor interactions? There also don't appear to be variables for the curfew, exercise time limits or the effect of the solo person living bubbles. Are these factored into the model via some other variables? Just looking at the list of recommendations from the July 17 pre print, there seem to be measures adopted by the government that were not recommended as part of the stringent approach. I am trying to understand where these measures came from and whether the model can be run with finer grains like masks indoors only, single bubble vs no single bubble, different curfews, different exercise time limits, etc?
