Triggering the pandemic

[LAAP]

Hi @agrignard , I think that it could be cool to run the model, without pandemic, and then, the user could Triggering the pandemic, so we can see the after and before... What do you think?

[agrignard]

How do you see that? As a parameter on the left? trigger epidemy?

Right now the trigger is simply a throwing a random infected agent, we could have something a bit smarter to explore different plausible scenarios

[LAAP]

I can imagine different options:

1) A tag combined with a number of "started infected people" (so you can explore 1 outbreak with a patient "0" or multiple outbreaks, like "travellers" bringing the disease from outside, for instance). Then, you trigger it, when you are ready to see the outbreak, and randomly (or startin in a district chosen by the user) gets the "victims"

2) You can pic the "victims" with the mouse, clicking into the agent, or you can make infectious surfaces "or buildings"

3) A combination of above

the point 2 that could be super cool; doable but needs a bit of work

Awesome!!!

First step (not the best one but at least you can start and stop the sim):

press iwill intiate the epidemy press owill stop it

Right now it's not possible to have a tooggle button directly in the interfadce due to this isuse https://github.com/gama-platform/gama/issues/2986

However we can imagine to have directly on the simulation screen (like a big red button and a big stop) what do you think?

I like the idea of a "big red button" ;)

Hi @agrignard,

These are the results of the simulation that I made at high speed, so we can have quick results. The characteristic of the pandemic are:

• -A "very bad pandemic" that in 11h spreads a lot (infection ratio 0.75
• -Because the speed, the city has not time to put measures of physical distance or masks
• -Asymptomatic ratio is 0.20
• -Mortality is 0.01 (not sure if that is super high, but people are dying in a couple of hours, so I imagine that is super high
• -Initial infection: I only infect 1 person (001)
• -Contamination distance 0024.0 (What is this equal to? 2,4meters?)

So, with that, just having autonomous districts vs conventional, we can see huge differences:

Conventional:

Autonomous:

So, I think that triggering the pandemic with using "i", it is OK.

I will close this issue
