The City Department of Health has found out that a very infectious strain of influenza (transmission probability 0.3) is likely to hit soon for which the current vaccine is not effective. So far the DOH think about 100 people in the city have been infected. We know that influenza illness usually lasts for an average of 5 days and for every 1000 people who get influenza 1 person requires intensive care for 2 days. The population in the city is 80,000. The R0 (the basic reproductive rate) for this strain of influenza has initially been estimated to be 4. What is the likely contact rate for this epidemic of influenza?

The Zoomland epidemic does not mimic a real epidemic in every respect. What is ONE way the Zoomland epidemic is not an entirely realistic simulation? A. In the Zoomland epidemic we could tell who had interacted with whom (contact tracing). In real life there is no way to do any contact tracing. B. In the Zoomland epidemic people interacted randomly with others. In real life people interact much more with some members of the population than others. C. In the Zoomland epidemic, transmission only occurred when a person came into contact with an infected person AND a suitable vector. In real life some diseases do not require a vector for successful transmission.
