Implement incidence variability over time? #18

The model currently assumes a fixed incidence rate, which is not realistic for COVID-19 and other seasonal diseases. From the issue perspective, the suggestion is to cap the maximum number of days to run the model, or display a clear message that long periods are not realistic.

From the expert perspective, this raises the question of whether there should be the possibility to use a custom vector for incidence which changes over time. Pachka confirmed this would work with the model. Labelling this as enhancement also, since it falls into the category of changes that could be implemented in the expert version of the app.
