A virus is transmitted by contact and if you are first infected, you will remain a carrier for an indefinite period. In an isolated population with "P" persons, is the infection rate at time "t" (in months after 1.jan 2020) proportional to the product of (1) the number of y (t) infected, (2) the number who are not infected , i.e the infection follows logistic growth. One tenth of the population is infected 1.jan -2020. If one-fifth of the population is infected one month later, how many are infected one year later?

When the city health department begins, its record keeping, there are 625 infected people. The number of infected people N is increasing at a rate proportional to the square root number of infected people at time t in weeks. One week later, there are 1600 infected people. Find the number of infected people two weeks after the record keeping begins.

The image attached of 100 squares represents a population of people that was stable in size and followed for 2 years for the emergence of a disease. Blue squares represent people in the population that were unaffected by disease over the whole study period. Red squares represent people in the population identified as having disease at the start of the study. The yellow squares were people in the population that were disease free at the start, but developed disease in the subsequent 2 year period. Assume everyone survives to the end of the study period whether or not they develop disease. 1) Based on the image and study description above, what was the prevalence of disease in the population at the start of the study? A) 0% B) 36% C) 38% D) 62% 2) Based on the image above and study description, what was the 2-year cumulative incidence of new disease over the study?
