metawards.iterators.advance_foi(nthreads: int, **kwargs)

Advance the model calculating the new force of infection (foi) for all of the wards and links between wards, based on the current number of infections. Note that you must call this first before performing any other step in the iteration as this will update the foi based on the infections that occured the previous day. This is the parallel version of this function
