Viral Infection Dynamics

SIR epidemic model spreading across a cellular grid

S: I: R: R₀:

The SIR model partitions a population into Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered. Spatial structure creates traveling wavefronts of infection. R₀ = β/γ — if R₀ > 1 an epidemic can spread. Watch herd immunity emerge as the susceptible pool depletes.
