Description: Simulates an epidemic outbreak with a branching process from a number of 
    initial seed cases. Every simulated case has disease and intervention parameters 
    stochastically drawn from user-provided distributions. These parameters determine 
    which secondary cases occur, which in turn create the next generation of cases. 
    This simulation implements modelling of interventions such as manual/conventional 
    contact tracing, app-based contact tracing, quarantine, self-isolation, and 
    reduction of contacts through physical distancing. This simulation also includes 
    the option of adding new cases via importation, which may have different 
    intervention policies. The simulation itself outputs a dataframe that summarizes 
    every case generated during the course of the simulation. This can be used to 
    generate metrics or other statistics across a large number of runs. Some example 
    driver functions to do this are provided.
