Two locations (red and blue) linked by migration with synchronous (top) and asynchronous (bottom) forcing. The mean number of infected individuals over 100 runs is plotted in bold for each location, along with representative trajectories. No fade-out occurs in the asynchronous simulation, and the ensemble is continuously depleted by fade-out in the synchronous case. The peak number of cases is substantially higher in the synchronous case, however.
