Distribution of for an exemplary infectious period of days.

<p>Panel A shows the size of the out-component for an exemplary node as a function of . For many times , the size of the out-component has similar values close to , but for some we also find to vanish. Panel B shows the distribution for all nodes, i.e. the top view of panel A for all nodes of the network. Each horizontal line represents one node, the example node chosen for panel A is indicated by the dotted orange line. For the sake of clarity, only every 100th node is plotted. Nodes are arranged according to their averaged value of over all from top to bottom, i.e. the node with the largest averaged out-component is displayed as the top line of the panel.
