Model multiple variants of the virus #1

Closed tedkyi closed 2 years ago

tedkyi commented 2 years ago

Track which variant each actor is infected with, since spread may be different (based on properties of the variant)

tedkyi commented 2 years ago

I have added variant to the Infection class. When someone gets infected, they will have the same variant as the person who exposed them. TODO: None of the behavior currently depends on the variant type. Should we close this issue and create separate issues for the behaviors that we want to differ by variant type?

@tedkyi -- shouldn't the order of startingVariantMix be in decreasing order for random pickup to work efficiently?

tedkyi commented 2 years ago

As long as the probabilities add up to one, the order doesn't matter.

devvidhani commented 2 years ago

You are right. for these small # of categories, doesn't matter.

tedkyi commented 2 years ago

With the merge of PR #13, I think this issue is complete. I am closing it. Let's track the need for new parameters, or the desire to change code to parameterize effects per variant, in new issues.
