Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This model has a number of limitations. First, the model relies on data obtained from the NYSDOH, including public reports and press conferences. These data likely have errors in their estimations; thus, the model projections may overestimate or underestimate true epidemiological characteristics. Additionally, these data do not account for the relative lack in testing that occurred during the initial period of the NYS outbreak. As a result, the reported confirmed cases likely are under representative, which may influence the model towards higher infectivity. Second, a fixed parameter approach was chosen for a number of variables including average incubation period (γ−1), average time to hospitalization (δ−1), latency to non-hospitalized quarantine (θ−1), and the effective rate of undocumented infections (ν; see Supplementary Methods; Table S1). The values of these parameters were chosen based on literature; however, in reality they likely change over time. Third, the seasonal variability SARS-CoV-2 transmission was modelled after non-SARS-CoV-2 HCoV seasonal variability. This assumption was conservatively weighted because the sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to temperature and humidity is not yet known (see Methods); therefore, the true seasonal variability of SARS-CoV-2 may differ from the model’s predictions. Lastly, pharmaceutical interventions, such as vaccines and therapeutic and prophylactic medications were not included in this model. It is unknown when these pha...
