Virus Simulator

A website that roughly simulates virus spread

Github Link

Summary

This is a small project that does a very rough “simulation” of virus spread. The simulation is based of off the differntial equation:

let dx = (k, m, r) => (x) => k * (m - (x + r)) / m * (x);

Where:

The simulation also accounts for a “recovery period” in which a person is infected and can spread disease.

This is more of an exercise in understanding differential equaitons, exponential growth and data visualization

Takeaways

This is a smaller project, but gave me insigth into levergaing libraries to achieve complete results with a minimal amount of code. As mentioned in the summary section, this project also gave me more exerpeince in differential equations and data visualization.
