Chapter 5, Problem 5E

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose for a certain disease described by the SIR model it is determined that a = 0.003 and b = 0.5. (a) In the SI-phase plane, sketch the trajectory corresponding to the initial condition that one person is infected and 700 persons are susceptible.(b) From your graph in part (a), estimate the peak number of infected persons. Compare this with the theoretical prediction S = k/a 167 persons when the epidemic is at its peak.
