To test hypotheses
Consider this hypothesis: Reducing the transmission rate β by 50% has the same effect as increasing the recovery rate γ by 50% (a hypothetical scenario in which we assume to have control over both).
Just by looking at the plots 1 and 2 below, get an intuition whether the hypothesis holds true?
(1) Reduce transmission rate β by 50%
(2) Increase recovery rate γ by 50%
