Abstract
This chapter focuses on the relationships between the continuous-time SIR models we have previously derived and identifying conditions under which they are appropriate. Unless otherwise noted, the models discussed in this chapter are SIR models. Each of these models involves some assumptions, and to understand their limitations, we need to understand whether the true spread “respects” these assumptions.
