I am not sure if this is due to the "preprint" nature of paper, but a few points that look a bit suspicious:
1. The actual data set used to conduct the estimation was not disclosed in paper;
2. The research method for estimation was also not disclosed in paper
3. Reasoning for the employed assumptions and not others? Reasoning for the employed transmission model and not others? Apparently this should be part of research method elaboration yet there's none.
4. Do all med papers come in this short?? This paper is just too descriptive and only estimation results were presented.
I'd really wait for a full-fledged version, I am reluctant to call this research.
