Fig. 5

The time development of \(R_t\) is plotted for the fiducial SIR (dots), fiducial NSIR (dashes), and two extreme NSIR models where the infection is inserted into a high degree node (top, blue), or a low degree node (bottom, red). Independent of the insertion degree, each NSIR curve lingers around \(R \simeq 3\). This is more meaningful than the actual \(R_0\) that is sensitive to the insertion degree
