Table 6  Negative correlation scenario: comparing epidemic metrics under low survival/low virulence versus high survival/high virulence scenarios (as in the negative correlation scenario). For each metric analyzed, these are the global heatmap values for the top left (at “coordinates” (Vir, Sur) → (+5%, −5%)) and bottom right corners (at “coordinates” (Vir, Sur) → (−5%, +5%)).
Epidemic Metric  max Virulence, min Survival  min Virulence, max Survival  % Difference between min Survival and max Survival
Peak total infected (people)  7.39 × 106  5.99 × 106  −23.47%
tmax−1 (days−1)  2.10 × 10−2  2.23 × 10−2  −0.15%
Total infected after 30 days (people)  1.16 × 108  1.13 × 108  −2.68%
Basic reproductive ratio (R0)  3.67  1.99  −84.39%
