recovery rate calculation

[jzanetti]

Hi JUNE developers:

There are lines of codes defining the probability of person who recovers in the ward (see Link for details), for example,

p[population][sex][age][3] = (
    hospital_rate - hospital_dead_rate
)

Should the max function be applied to ensure that the recovery rate is larger than zero ? For example,

p[population][sex][age][3] = max(
    hospital_rate - hospital_dead_rate, 0
) 

Thank you,

Sijin

Hi Sijin,

Yes, it would be a good idea to do that. In practice, we make sure that that is the case in the input data, but it would be nice to have it as a check and even print a warning if it finds negative values. If you have the time to submit a PR, I will happily review it.

Cheers
