Incorrect comments near transition rates in `kinetic_model_simulator.py` #21

The comments here:

https://github.com/dburov190/risk-networks/blob/9d4d4808ec59447f9bc543a15ee3c0b50c5b3261/epiforecast/kinetic_model_simulator.py#L12

are not correct. For example, the transition rate from exposed to infected is not the latent period itself, but is the inverse of the latent period. This has created confusion in the data assimilation, so we should not conflate the two.
