Infection spreads along the contact network (red = infected, blue = susceptible, green = recovered). Tune transmission, recovery, and connectivity.

Governing equation

R_{0} = \frac{β ⟨ k ⟩}{γ} = \frac{0.06 \times 0.0}{0.01} \approx 0.0

Reading this result: Spread outpaces recovery by 6.0-to-1 — an epidemic grows, but whether it reaches everyone hinges on the contact radius wiring nodes together.
