Question
dI/dt = SI – mI .
dI/dt is the rate of growth of the infected population
is the transmission coefficient
S is the number of uninfected hosts
m is the death and recovery (with immunity) rate
Now suppose that the transmission rate () of both groups is different.The transmission rate of the first group (where m = 0.7) is really 0.003 (higher than in the question above). The transmission rate of the second group (where m = 0.2) is really 0.0005 (lower than in the question above). You must choose between allowing the three individuals with the more virulent disease or the three with the less virulent disease to enter the town. You cannot choose all or none of them. If your goal is to preserve the lives of the townspeople, which group do you allow into the town? Why?
Explanation / Answer
I will allows the group of people which have higher m value that is the 1st group. In case of any virulant disease the transmission rate is higher. If I choose the higher m value then dl/dt value will be lower. So the disease can not be contaminated very rapidly .
