Strain structured vs. homogenous population. Comparison between the decline in risk of severe disease in a homogenous distribution of all possible types and a strain structured population. Both hypothetical extremes, homogenous distribution and complete strain structure, define the boundaries of a region (grey) within which the risk will realistically decay with exposure. N = 120, n = 6, η = 20.
