  2. Note that all dates in the tables are given by month/day. Dates of posting are listed in parentheses. Model duration indicates whether they fit a 1-phase or 2-phase model. Note that the maximum case number is rounded off to the nearest integer. R0# is obtained using the generation interval of T = 3.6 (2.9, 4.3) for seasonal influenza [13].
