model natural immunity with ab titre #39

Closed slwu89 closed 3 years ago

slwu89 commented 3 years ago

Instead of using the R compartment to model 100% immunizing infection for a period, we want to allow natural infection to boost ab titre and then allow it to decay naturally. It should be converted into protection from infection/severe disease according to current functional forms. The ab boost from natural infection should be equal to the "best" vaccine product for starters, but this should be a default parameter value, rather than hardcoded (allow user input).

One thing to change is to make the dwell time in R deterministically equal to 1 time step, so we don't have people still in R: https://github.com/mrc-ide/safir/blob/main/R/events.R#L328

This takes precedence over #7
