Our paper presents three new classes of models: SIR-PH, SIR-PH-FA, and SIR-PH-IA, and states two problems we would like to solve about them. Recall that deterministic mathematical epidemiology has one basic general law, the "R0 alternative" of [52,51], which states that the local stability condition of the disease free equilibrium may be expressed as R0 < 1, where R0 is the famous basic reproduction number, which plays also a major role in the theory of branching processes. The literature suggests that it is impossible to find general laws concerning the endemic points. However, it is quite common that
