A virus infects by contact and is more contagious during winter. if you are first infected, you will remain infected for an unlimited time.

In an isolated population with P persons (In this population no one dies or give birth to any), the infection rate at time (for months after 1/1 2020) is proportional to the product of:

(1) the amount of people y(t) that are infected.

(2) the amount that is no infected

(3) a seasonal variation in infectiousness: 1+cos((pi/6) t)

I need help to set up a differential equation for this problem
