The following video is a presentation by Aadhi Arun, a student of KV Kanjikode on the application he developed to compute the theoretical number of people infected with a infectious disease. Please like and share it.

"This video is meant to give a mathematical standpoint on the spread of an Infectious disease using the simple SIR-Model. It teaches how to predict the average number of people who would get infected with an Infectious disease and also to stop the spread of such diseases ( to show how to stop the spread of COVID-19).

 It is all demonstrated with a python APP I made. Inputted data, the app can show the outcome of a disease, the average number of people infected, and the percent of decrease after precautions are taken. Dr. Nidish Chandran and Dr. Vishnu of JIIPMER were also consulted at the last. I hope you find this video informative...Enjoy!!!"
