Visualizing the invisible mechanics of disease spread
In short: How do we predict where a virus will strike next? This video introduces simulations that model how diseases move through populations, helping us understand the difference between temporary outbreaks and permanent presence.
The presentation serves as a primer on epidemiological modeling, specifically focusing on three distinct states of disease: epidemics (sudden outbreaks), endemicity (constant presence in a population), and eradication (the complete elimination of a pathogen).
By utilizing these simulations, researchers can visualize complex dynamics that are otherwise difficult to track. The content is built with technical input from experts at Medlife Crisis and Osmosis, as well as interactive modeling techniques used for COVID-19 tracking.
