+Description: Tools to simulate realistic raw case data for an epidemic in
+    the form of line lists and contacts using a branching process.
+    Simulated outbreaks are parameterised with epidemiological parameters
+    and can have age structured populations, age-stratified
+    hospitalisation and death risk and time-varying case fatality risk.
