Simulation of the Reed-Frost model for epidemics: the case of two villages

      Usage of this interactive tutorial assumes familiarity with the model of epidemics developed by L. Reed and W.H. Frost. If you did not yet do so, please visit first tutorial no. 1.
      This interactive simulation assumes that the epidemics occurs first in a small village (N = 1000 individuals) starting from a single case of the disease; after some serial generation times, an affected individual carries the disease to a nearby village of the same size starting the epidemics there.
      At the beginning of the epidemics all individuals are susceptibles; they they pass through the irreversible sequence Susceptible - Affected - Immune.
      Please choose the serial generation time at which the epidemic is transferred from the first to the second village:
5 ; 3 ; 2
