Factor #2: Recovery Rate

Use the "chance-recover" slider in this model. Conduct your investigation by looking at recovery rates of: 1%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100%.

Look at the graph on the side, in Question 1 record your observations of the graph for each level.

 

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Add your observations from the graph for each recovery level here.

 

At which recovery level do the population of organisms stay the healthiest?
 

Is there a level where you see a significant increase in the number of sick or how quickly they become sick? What level is that?

Give an example of what the level of recovery looks like in real life. Are there infectious diseases you know of that are easier or more difficult to recover from? Are there any that organisms can't recover from and continue to live with?
