Total infectious number more that population

[Goonigh2020]

Good day again,
I ran the simulation and downloaded covid.results.deterministic.csv to see the result.
When I summarize all infectious number for the whole period (april december) it gives me total infectious figure twice more than my total population.

Can you please advice whether I am doing something wrong?

People stay infectious for about 3 days, so if you sum the 'current infectious' for each day, you will count individual people three times.

Thank you for the prompt response. If I get the difference between figures for "susceptible" at the start and end dates of the period, will I get the predicted number of total cases? Is there any way to calculate that figure (total cases for the period)?

The sum of the cumulative recovered and cumulative fatalities at the end of the simulation will give you the cumulative number of infections. Alternatively, take the initial susceptible size and subtract off the current susceptible

Thank you!
