---|
Start Date | This is the date when the first patient is infected. |
---|
Initial Infections | The number of initial infections that occurred on the start date. |
---|

Mortality Complicator (Percentage) | This will increase the ‘Mortality Rate’ where there is a large number of new infected in a short period of time and is based on the increasing likelihood of mortality as more of the health care system becomes overwhelmed (more and more severe and critical cases that need medical help to survive, in a short period of time). |
---|
Virus Burnout Rate (Percentage) | This represents a reduction of the ‘Infection Rate’ over time – it represents the increased quarantine measures, progress with discovering a cure or vaccine and fewer healthy hosts to infect |
