add in setting-specific variation in infectiousness/riskiness #88

Closed cwhittaker1000 closed 4 months ago

Currently all locations implicitly have the same riskiness/receptivity to transmission in our model - we should add some variation on top of this.

Unclear how exactly to do this currently - we could do something like a draw from a lognormal distribution with a mean centred around 1, e.g. rlnorm(n, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1) as proposed with https://github.com/mrc-ide/helios/issues/87 - but based on conversations with others it seems possible/plausible that setting-riskiness might be correlated with size (and also with far UVC efficacy) so this might require a little more careful thinking!
