virus outbreak simulator

Description

This is a simulator to show how different behaviours can influence the spread of a virus. If you enjoy it please share!

It will run slowly if you turn the population size and map settings up. Try it on lower settings first and watch how small and large changes in behaviour can make a big difference in the spread of the virus.

It is not a substitute for official advice and not to be taken as accurate. If you are unsure how to best keep safe you can consult the World Health Organization.

How to Play

This simulation shows how different behaviours can influence the spread of a virus. In the settings on the right you can change different parameters for how the virus behaves, how people behave and the map settings.

In the simulation, you can pause and rewind. See how things pan-out.

People showing no symptoms are blue, whilst people showing symptoms are red.

Though people in blue are not showing symptoms, that doesn't mean they are not infected!

Stay Safe - this is not scientically accurate so don't mistake it for professional advice!!
