Description

Watch a virus spread among people and see how it is affected by different parameters.

Inspired by an article in The Washington Post, "Why outbreaks like coronavirus
spread exponentially, and
how to โ€œflatten the curveโ€":https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/

Parameters
* Number of people
* Movement speed
* Incubation time -- time between becoming infected and becoming sick
* Illness time -- how long a person is sick
* Mortality rate -- percentage of sick people that die
* "Social distancing" -- percentage of people that minimize their movement to avoid spreading the infection

How to Play

Change any parameter and click Restart to watch the virus spread.

Not really a game, but it's fun to mess around with and watch.
