Epidemiological Modeling

Epidemiological modeling is a scientific method used to understand the spread of diseases in populations. It uses mathematical equations to simulate how an illness can spread, how many people might get infected, and how interventions like vaccines or social distancing can impact the outbreak. By analyzing data on transmission rates, recovery, and immunity, models help public health officials make informed decisions to control diseases and protect community health. Essentially, these models provide insights into potential future scenarios, guiding effective responses to epidemics.
