This is a simple Python epidemic simulation used to illustrate the spread of epidemics through two factors:
- Death rate of a disease
- Contagion ratio (R0) of the disease
The script can be configured by changing the constant values corresponding to each of these factors. A pre-vaccination ratio can also be used to make a part of the population immune before the epidemic outbreak. This is only a basic model and the purpose of this application was to illustrate basic concepts of epidemiology in a Moroccan pop science youtube video.
The episode is available here:
-
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Modify constants such as
PROBA_DEATH,CONTAGION_RATEandVACCINATION_RATE. -
Run the simulation through:
python epidemic.py -
Press the Space bar to run or re-run the simulation
