It should say day of onset* (48) Progressively taller peaks and then a rapid decrease. Peaks are usually separated by one incubation period. Usually spread person to person or vector borne (ex. Ex ebola: common/point source is a well. Secondary sources get it from fecal oral transmission b/c of those primary ppls poop. Magnitude- how big it is, what the number of cases is. Outbreak time trend- when the outbreak stared and stopped. Outbreak outliers- very important, they can change everything. Sometimes the index case isn"t really the index case. Period of exposure- helpful in determining exposure time and incubation period. 67=intermittent (not related to an incubation period, not gradually higher)
