Module 6
Death Rate and Infectivity
In this module, we continue to explore what generates a second wave (or nth wave) of the COVID 19 epidemics. We further modify the model by adding a balancing feedback loop in which people observe changes in the COVID 19 death rate and adjust their safety measures. These behavioral adjustments can lower the infectivity when a contact is made. In this module, we use a table function to represent this non-linear relationship.
