报告摘要：In 1978, there was the famous influenza A/H1N1 outbreak in an English boarding school. This dataset was widely used in mathematical epidemiology textbooks and research papers, but the mathematical models, including classic SIR and SEIR, did not fit the data well, especially the attack rate. We built a biologically plausible and simple enough model that fitted the numbers of confined to bed and convalescent students as well as the total number of infected students (attack rate) correctly. One of the main features of the model were non-exponential residence times in model groups, which differed it from standard SIR/SEIR-like models.
