WORKED MODELWORKED SOURCE

Disease spread assumptions

A simulation assumes each infected person contacts 8 people/day, transmission chance 5%, and infectious duration 5 days. Expected secondary cases are 8*0.05*5=2.

  1. The estimate is a simplified reproduction value.
  2. It assumes independent, constant contacts.
  3. Behavior can change the parameters.

What does the model predict under its assumptions?
