Where are we on the "curve"?
And how do we compare to a country further ahead in the process, and the rest of the world?
Simulations - Flattening the curve and lockdown
Because of randomness, you may need to run the simulation multiple times to get some indication of the average expected outputs. There are 2 simulations, so you can compare 2 different scenarios.
Assumptions
- People on locked down are quarantined
- Once a person becomes infected, they quarantine themself
Office simulation - how may it affect your office, assuming 1 person is sick
- You can modify a few more parameters here
- Monitors days, and number of man-days lost
What is Coronavirus / Covid-19 / SARS-CoV-2?
Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which has other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
They have characteristic club-shaped spikes that project from their surface, which in electron micrographs create an image reminiscent of the solar corona from which their name derives.

Mortality rate is calculated as Deaths/Confirmed. This may underestimate mortality rate, as not all cases may have yet been closed. This is somewhat offset by the fact that it is probable that not all cases have been reported.
