Epidemic model

An epidemic model is a way to understand and predict how a disease spreads through a population. It categorizes people into groups like susceptible (can catch it), infected (currently sick), and recovered (immune). By studying how people move between these groups over time, the model helps predict the course of an outbreak, assess the impact of interventions, and inform public health decisions. These models are essential tools for understanding disease dynamics and planning effective responses to contain and control epidemics.
