I am fine with this! Although we should update the document too, as it states patients can interact with each other and still mentions 'hospital beds'.
We do not allow patient-patient interactions in our current model (as you only become a patient if you have the virus). Otherwise we would require the health service to also assign other random nodes from categories (S,E,I,R) to the hospital (i.e to add these edges) to act as other patients which is of course possible, but we haven't felt this necessary as of yet.
This PR changes
assign_health_workers
to get the correct binomial degree distribution (i.e., the distribution that we describe in our manuscript) between health workers and hospitalized patients:size = np.random.binomial(len(viable_health_workers), self.health_workers_per_patient/len(viable_health_workers))
.I would use the binomial case as standard and not the regular degree distribution that we used previously.
