-#' This function wraps the functionality of `estimate_infections()` and
-#' `forecast_infections()` in order to estimate Rt and cases by date of
-#' infection, forecast into these infections into the future. It also contains
-#' additional functionality to convert forecasts to date of report and produce
-#' summary output useful for reporting results and interpreting them. See

-#' an example of using `epinow` to estimate Rt for Covid-19 in a country from
