Figure 2

Illustration of the cohort effect for an idealized situation of no age dependence in infection rates. The top arrow represents time evolution in the infection rate on a cohort born in 1920 and the bottom arrow represents the same for a cohort born in 1970. The infection rate is the rate at which a susceptible person becomes infected, and here it has been expressed in an idealized unit of measurement.
