* Washington Post Corona Simulator
These simulations vastly oversimplify the complexity of real life and are not completely accurate of COVID-19. Yet as the spread is represented through the networks of bouncing balls, COVID-19 is spreading through all aspects of our human networks. Similar to the ball bouncing across the screen, a single person’s behavior can cause ripple effects that touch faraway people.

No social Distancing

attempted Quarantine
Here is what happens in a town of 200 people with one sick person and no attempts at social distancing.
The graph represents a rapid increase in number of sick people, which then tapers off as people recover.
3
moderate distancing
Here is an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19 by creating a forced quarantine.
The graph represents the unlikely possibility to seal off the sick population from the healthy and leads to similar results as the first simulation.
4
extensive Distancing
Here is a quarter of the population still moving around while the other three quarters practice social distancing.
The graph represents a slower spread of the virus with a higher number of healthy people.
Here is a higher amount of social distancing, representing only one of every eight people moving.
The graph shows an even more positive result, with higher numbers of healthy people and an even slower spread.
