“…For the latter SI, we report a mean of 4.8 days, median of 4.0 days, IQR between 3.0 and 7.0 days, 95% centile from 1.0 to 9.5 days, 95% percentile of 9.0 days, and a range from 1.0 to 10.0 days. We observe that the mean (and median) SI decreases when generation increases, and this finding was reported previously in ( Li et al, 2020a , Ma et al, 2020 ). With the sample means, we calculate the ratio of latter SI over former SI at (4.8 / 5.4 =) 0.89, which is roughly the same scale as 0.73 in ( Ma et al, 2020 ) and 0.94 or 0.75 in ( Li et al, 2020a ).…”
