Most of these models have emphasized the significant role of the direct, human-to-human transmission pathway in this epidemic [16] , as highlighted by the facts that the majority of the infected individuals did not have any contact with the marketplaces in Wuhan, that the number of infections has been rapidly increasing, and that the disease has spread to all provinces in China as well as more than 20 other countries. To estimate the values for these three parameters, similar to [32] , we fit our model to the daily reported infection data for Wuhan from January 23 to February 10 by using the standard least squares method. ./cache/cord-283985-8mdnkegz.txt ./txt/cord-283985-8mdnkegz.txt
