“…We will initially consider two cases: homogeneous mixing (HM), characterized by p u,v = p for constant p > 0; distance-based mixing (DM), where p u,v ∝ d −1 i,j for all u ∈ V i and v ∈ V j only depends on the distance d i,j between V i and V j . We will then assess, through extensive simulations, whether the predictions obtained for the DM model remain valid when p u,v also depends on the social fitness, on the age and/or on the underlying social fabric, encoded into a static social network that combines synthetic households and acquaintances, modelled as described in [31] and [30]. In total, we consider five configurations, all having the same expected volume of daily contacts, summarized in Table 1 and described more in details as needed.…”
