Abstract

COVID-19 is a new type of infectious respiratory disease that has affected our lives enormously. Many restrictions have been enforced hoping to slow down the spread of the pandemic. Social distancing campaigns have been encouraged, masks have become mandatory and travel has been banned. Understanding the virus is vital in order to find a solution to end the suffering. In this project, we make our own attempt to simulate the spread of COVID-19 in hopes of understanding the spread of the pandemic. As a result, the project build a user-interactive design for the simulation of outbreaks. The project are able to set various parameters that we believe are still less understood. By tweaking these parameters in a well rounded simulation, we can test ideas and gain a visual understanding of what affects the spread. Solutions for flattening the curve were found, and distinguishing the policies that work from those that do not was available. In the project, travel was not restricted to their own region. The project focused more on international travel. The balls would be contained in their own region but at any given time, be able to travel to other contained regions. The effect of travel did not have much impact on the curve once the virus was spread to all regions. Travel restrictions seemed to have the most impact in the initial containment of the virus.

COVID-19大流行模拟中口罩与出行的影响
COVID-19是一种新型的传染性呼吸道疾病,极大地影响了我们的生活。已经实施了许多限制措施,希望减缓疫情的传播。社会保持距离运动得到鼓励,戴口罩成为强制性规定,禁止旅行。了解这种病毒对于找到结束痛苦的解决办法至关重要。在这个项目中,我们自己尝试模拟COVID-19的传播,希望了解大流行的传播。因此,该项目构建了用于模拟爆发的用户交互设计。该项目能够设置各种参数,我们认为我们仍然不太了解。通过在全面的模拟中调整这些参数,我们可以测试想法并获得影响传播的视觉理解。人们找到了使曲线趋平的解决方案,并能够区分哪些政策有效,哪些政策无效。在这个项目中,旅行并不局限于自己的地区。该项目更侧重于国际旅行。这些球将被限制在它们自己的区域,但在任何给定的时间,它们都可以移动到其他被限制的区域。一旦病毒传播到所有地区,旅行的影响对曲线没有太大影响。旅行限制似乎对最初的病毒控制产生了最大的影响。
