Go to this Pandemic module (Links to an external site.), and work through all 5 questions. Now answer MY questions!
- What determines the maximum number of infected cases in Q1? How does this relate to Covid-19? [2pts]
- In Q3, you explore how the rate of contagion varies. Epidemiologists refer to this number as the Rt number. What was the Rt value in Arizona 3 months ago, and today (Links to an external site.)? How can we reduce Rt values?[2pts]
- In Q4 you explore the idea of herd immunity (Links to an external site.). For effective herd immunity (like the coverage gained by the measles vaccine), about 94% of people need to have antibodies- either from vaccination, or from surviving the infection. What percentage of the US population has currently got antibodies for Covid? (provide your reference). [4pts]
