Flu Model

intro

ASL	Flu (influenza) is caused by a virus. As it spreads through a community people are less productive. Why, because they stay home from work and school, or their work slows down because they are sick.

ASL	The computer model will help you answer the following questions: How does a disease like the flu move through a community? Does it matter if you start with one sick person or a bus full? Do sick leave policies have an impact on the spread of the flu? If a vaccine were available, how many people would need to get the shot to protect the city from the epidemic? What is the economic impact for a company with different sick leave and vaccination policies?
