The impact of a pandemic is determined by more than just the physiological effects of the disease, but by people’s behavior in response. I hope you continue to investigate solutions to these issues!

Hi Coco, I would say making my model more realistic would be the next step. Currently, humans in my model can only transition among three statuses (I-S-P), they cannot be both at the same time. But in real life, a human might not spread a rumor even after being exposed to a lot of misinformation-this person might have a very critical mind. My biggest takeaway beyond my conclusions would be that rumor spreading and truth spreading are not theoretically different! There is a risk that a rumor becomes truth and truth becomes a rumor. Therefore, it is very important to be critical.
