Does increasing the amount of non-renewable resources (which could occur through the development of better exploration technologies) improve our future? Also, experiment with the start date of a low birth-rate, environmentally focused policy.

Model description:
This model is designed to simulate the outbreak of Covid-19 in Burnie in Tasmania, death cases, the governmental responses and Burnie local economy. 

More importantly, the impact of governmental responses to both Covid-19 infection and to local economy, the impact of death cases to local economy are illustrated. 

The model is based on SIR (Susceptible, Infected and recovered) model. 

Variables:
The simulation takes into account the following variables: 

Variables related to Covid-19: (1): Infection rate. (2): Recovery rate. (3): Death rate. (4): Immunity loss rate. 

Variables related to Governmental policies: (1): Vaccination mandate. (2): Travel restriction to Burnie. (3): Economic support. (4): Gathering restriction.

Variables related to economic growth: Economic growth rate. 

Adjustable variables are listed in the part below, together with the adjusting range.

Assumptions:
(1): Governmental policies are aimed to control(reduce) Covid-19 infections and affect (both reduce and increase) economic growth accordingly.

(2) Governmental policy will only be applied when reported cases are 10 or more. 

(3) The increasing cases will negatively influence Burnie economic growth.

Enlightening insights:
(1) Vaccination mandate, when changing from 80% to 100%, doesn't seem to affect the number of death cases.

(2) Governmental policies are effectively control the growing death cases and limit it to 195.

Exponentielles Wachstum tritt üblicherweise zu Beginn einer Epidemie auf. Durch Impfung/Immunität wird der Verlauf abgeschwächt falls ein substantieller Anteil der Bevölkerung nicht mehr ansteckbar ist

Ein sogenanntes SIR Modell kommt in der einfachsten Version mit drei Stock Variablen aus:
S = Infizierbare (zu Beginn 100%)
I  = Infizierte (zu Beginn 1 Person oder 1%)
R = Immune (zu Beginn 0%)

Weiterhin werden zwei Parameter benötigt (siehe z.B. Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIR-Modell#Basisreproduktionszahl_und_Verlauf_einer_Epidemie)
beta =  wieviele Nichtinfizierte werden pro Infizierter und  Zeiteinheit angesteckt
gamma = Rate, mit der infizierte Personen in der Zeiteinheit genesen oder sterben
Die jeweiligen neuen Zustandsgrößen werden dann wie folgt berechnet:

  • Infizierbare_neu(t)=-beta*Infizierbare(t)*Infizierte(t)
  • Infizierte_neu(t)=beta*Infizierbare(t)*Infizierte(t) – gamma*Infizierte(t)
  • Immune_neu(t)=gamma*Infizierte(t)

The World3 model is a detailed simulation of human population growth from 1900 into the future. It includes many environmental and demographic factors.

BY SETTING THE NEW ECOLOGICAL POLICIES TO 2015 WE CAN SEE THAT SOME POPULATIONS CAN BE SAVED BUT CITIES WILL SUFFER MOST.

Use the sliders to experiment with the initial amount of non-renewable resources to see how these affect the simulation. Does increasing the amount of non-renewable resources (which could occur through the development of better exploration technologies) improve our future? Also, experiment with the start date of a low birth-rate, environmentally focused policy.
