Remember, when you compute frac_susc, you’re asking “how diluted with potential victims is the population that an infectious person encounters when they walk around in society?” Basically, “who’s walking around the mall?” Ask yourself:
- Are susceptible people walking around the mall?
- Are exposed people?
- Are infected people?
- Are vaccinated people?
- Are quarantined people, regardless of how far the disease has progressed in them?
- Are recovered people?
- Are dead people?
Whoever’s walking around the mall is in the denominator. Whoever’s not, is not.
