Clarification on Daily_exposure output

[missyschoenbaum]

I may not be following the lingo here, so please correct me if needed.

I am comparing the output from the SQLite database to the supplemental files. I can make the infection count match up, but I cannot figure out the total exposures. First image is counts from database, last day only, "All" production types. Note I caputured the database connect to confirm I am looking at the same scenario across this question.

Next, I look at the supplemental files, with a filter on to show only exposures

In Iteration 1, the database shows expcU as 16023, from the supplemental I am expecting 5007. In iteration 2 database shows 101036 and supplemental shows 32535.

Am I looking at the wrong things to compare?

@missyschoenbaum how do the counts break down by Direct, Indirect, and Air? I seem to recall there was something about how exposures by air were counted, maybe if Direct and Indirect match up as expected then we can look at Air.

[missyschoenbaum]

@ndh2 , you are correct. Dir and Ind match, but Air does not. Here are images, with Air first.

Then Dir and Ind match files

I don't know if there's a record of the conversation anywhere, but I think I remember what happened. There was a question of what counts as an "exposure" for Airborne. The decision was that if you're within the circular area around an infection source, you count as exposed for that day. But that made the exposures table file too big because you were essentially outputting all the locations in a circle around all the infection sources, every day. So the exposures table only lists the airborne exposures that were adequate. That's why the number of airborne exposures you can count in the table file is less that expcUAir.

@ndh2 Excellent, now we have documentation.
