That demonstration model was well explained and documented.
That model used variables for the US situation where social distancing (sd) was announced 62 days after the first case of Covid-19 was reported and involved only moderately aggressive measures.
This model uses an initial population of 1 million people. The values of variables used in the Stella model are used as defaults here except Ro is set to 2.5. This and other variables can be changed using sliders.
For example, set the "intensity of social distancing measures" slider to 0 to run the model without sd.
The default values arefatality fraction = 0.016incubation period = 3 daysintensity of sd measures = 0.4fraction of sd participation = 0.55delay before announcing sd measures (UK) = 46 daysdisease duration = 7 daysRo = 2.5
