Social determinants of health are economic and social conditions that influence the health of people and communities. These conditions are shaped by the amount of money, power, and resources that people have, all of which are influenced by policy choices. Social determinants of health affect factors that are related to health outcomes. Factors related to health outcomes include:
How a person develops during the first few years of life (early childhood development)
How much education a persons obtains
Being able to get and keep a job
What kind of work a person does
Having food or being able to get food (food security)
Having access to health services and the quality of those services

This model shows the COVID-19 outbreak in Burnie and how the government policy impacts the economy. The possible phases when the infectious disease spreads in Burnie can be labelled as Susceptible, Infection and Recovery, which are main factors in the model. It is concluded that the government policy can reduce the infectious disease and also the impact in the overall economy.
Assumption
The Government Healthy Policy will affect the decrease in the infection and economy growth rate at the same time.
The Government Health Policy is only triggered when there are more than 10 cases
The increase in number of COVID-19 cases can affect negatively towards the economic growth.
Interesting Insights:
The Government's vaccination promote will reduce the possibility of spreading the infectious disease.
When vaccination rate increase, the dead, infected people and susceptible group will all decrease. This reveals that the crucial role in government's vaccination promote program.
When there is more than 10 confirmed cases, the government policies can effectively reduce the infections and the overall economic activities.

This Scenario hits Affluence (1% decrease per annum) to increase decarbonization of energy. Additionally, decrease in affluence is increased by temperature increases damaging the global economy
