I'm using SIR-ICM to model an outbreak in large population (around 10 million). I want to know the size of susceptible individuals to use in this model. I'm in a doubt to use the actual population size as the size of susceptible individuals because of non-uniform mixing of individuals. Could anyone make a rough estimate of the size of susceptible individuals?
