The per capita accumulating deaths (D(t)), the accumulating number of treatments (Ttotal(t)) and the prevalence (I(t)/N(t)), are plotted for two different constant treatment (i.e., ρIT RAM roller is set to 1) scenarios, with constant contact rate (κ0=2; Adaptive contact RAM set to 1) and no vaccination. In treatments 1 (blue curves) versus 2 (red curves) we have the treatment rates are ρIT=0.1 versus 0.02 (10% versus 2%). The parameters used in treatment scenario 2 are shown in the sliders here. In scenario 1, we assumed that the disease induced mortality rate is the same for individuals, whether they remain in I or move T, which implicitly assumes that treatment is taking the more severe cases and reducing the mortality of these case to same background rate of 0.5% for those untreated. In scenario 2, we assumed that treatment is more effective than in treatment 1, reducing the mortality rate of those under treatment to 0.1%
