I believe this model accounts for such individual response: "Heterogeneity in contact structure and individual variation in infectivity, susceptibility, and resistance are key factors..." (emphasis added)

In general, that's one of those anomalous diffusion problems. Unfortunately, there are too many parameters to estimate without simplifying the model. So the reasonable solution is to take a maximum expected value of each and you can still be wrong. Important data we do not know is chiefly how effective SARS aerosols are and at what range and time.
