When the distribution parameters are uncertain, the plot is quite busy. Should we facet by distribution type in that case instead of using different line types?

library(EpiNow2)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'EpiNow2'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
#> 
#>     Gamma
suppressWarnings(
  plot(
    Gamma(mean = Normal(3, 2), sd = Normal(1, 0.1), max = 10)
  )
)

ah interesting. I'm not sure we should facet by default but perhaps do it here as a demonstration?

We should re-compile this after merging #788 .
