Table 5  Positive correlation scenario: comparing epidemic metrics under low survival/low virulence versus high survival/high virulence scenarios (as in the positive correlation scenario). For each metric analyzed, these are the heatmap values for the bottom left (at “coordinates” (Vir, Sur) → (−5%, −5%)) and top right (at “coordinates” (Vir, Sur) → (+5%, +5%)) corners.
Epidemic Metric  min Virulence, min Survival  max Virulence, max Survival  % Difference between min Survival and max Survival
Peak total infected (people)  5.68 × 106  7.64 × 106  +34.51%
tmax−1 (days−1)  1.99 × 10−2  2.23 × 10−2  +12.06%
Total after 30 days (people)  8.18 × 107  1.62 × 108  +98.04%
Basic reproductive ratio (R0)  1.95  3.78  +93.84%
