REPLY TO KU'SMIERZ AND TOYOIZUMI: A network-based explanation of whymost COVID-19 infection curves are linear. As seen in figure 2A in ref. 2, the D c values for ER networks for different settings are clearly below the corresponding D c for SW networks. LETTER REPLY TO KU SMIERZ AND TOYOIZUMI: Anetwork-basedexplanationofwhymost COVID-19infectioncurvesarelinear Stefan Thurner a,b,c,1, Peter Klimek a,b , and Rudolf Hanel a,b  In a comment on our recent paper (1), the commentators point out that infection curves on small-world (SW) networks are linear only in the vicinity of the critical point (2) and that infection dynamics on complex or SW networks have already been studied, for instance,inref.3.
