Table 1 Regression equations predicting DSOH and MRR

Eq.	Regression Type	Response	Predictor	Interaction Term
1	linear	DSOH	epidemic week	none
2	linear	MRR	epidemic week	none
3	robust linear	DSOH	epidemic week	none
4	robust linear	MRR	epidemic week	none
5	robust linear	MRR	epidemic week	outbreak location
6	robust linear	MRR	serial interval	outbreak location

DSOH stands for days from symptom onset to hospitalization, MRR stands for mean removal rate, calculated as (1 / DSOH). Epidemic weeks were weighted by cases per week. Outbreak location for DSOH and MRR included seven levels (Liberia, Lofa County, Montserrado County, South Korea, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Hong Kong)
