Advanced simulations are crucial for several reasons:
Predicting Disease Spread: They help in forecasting how diseases will spread over time and space, allowing public health officials to prepare in advance. Evaluating Interventions: Simulations can test the effectiveness of interventions such as vaccination programs, social distancing, and quarantine measures without needing real-world trials. Resource Allocation: They assist in determining where to allocate medical resources like vaccines and hospital beds most effectively. Understanding Disease Dynamics: These models can provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms of disease transmission and progression.
