Agent-based model: The Spanish Flu

Categories :Body and Mind

We are building an agent-based model of the 1918 Flu Pandemic. Learners will be able to adjust the parameters of the model to see possible models of the pandemic according to different theories of where it started and if the circumstances had been different, e.g. no war, no armistice etc. This provides a platform for users to explore how the conditions of War interact with the spread of disease. You will be able to download the model.
