This issue concerns the C++ backend implementation.
model::abm
This issue concerns any kind of agent-based model.
Motivation / Current Behaviour
Currently infectivity and infection states a pseudo-connected. The state transitions are independent of infectivity and infectivity does not depend on the infection state if an agent is infected, but it is zero for recovered (and susceptible) agents. That means that an agent's infectivity can jump from peak infectivity to zero within one hour if the agent recovers.
Enhancement description
We want to make the infection states purely symptomatic state i.e. decouple infectivity from them. The connection of state transitions and infectivity should be subject to user input by providing an interface for that as well as default implementations.
