Epidemic simulator

Instructions

This is an epidemic simulator that I made. It's kinda laggy, but if you click the heart and star shaped buttons, the lag will reduce! (That was a joke) If it's taking too long, shift+click the green flag. Even so, it has a run time of 1-3 mins. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Graph key: Red-total infections at that time Blue-dots that had never been infected at that time Gray-Dots that have recovered/removed/deceased at that time Transparent white-Total infections at that time ----------------------------------------------------------------- Base Stats: Infection radius-2 Population-300(populated town) Probability-20% Recovery/removal rate-3% Explanation/Controls: Blue dots have never been infected before, and they are able to become infected. Red dots are infected, and the pink circles around them represent the "infection radius", or the distance that blue dots have to be from them to get infected. Gray dots have recovered, been quarantined, or deceased. (If you don't know what that word means...(If someone asks you what that word means, explain it gently and nicely)) Probability and recovery/removal rate are measured in percentages. You can adjust things like the probability a blue dot will get infected if they touch a red dot, the infection radius, the recovery rate, and the population. (If you adjust the population, you'll have to click the green flag again unless you want weird things happening) At the end, the graph will appear for a minute, then the thumbnail comes back. Z=Show variables X=Hide variables ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ways to use this model to simulate preventative measures in your town/city: Population- Figure out your town/city's density, and use that. I'd say 50 is a rural area and 400 is a city. Quarantine- Change the recovery/removal rate to match the estimate for your percentage of sick people quarantined. Better hygiene- Reduce the probability Social distancing- Unfortunately, this simulation doesn't have a very good way to simulate social distancing. I'd say reduce probability or reduce infection radius. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I want to emphasize that this is a TOY MODEL. It is not meant to predict the outcomes of anything. I made this to give an idea of what MIGHT happen.
