Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment sorts mass-casualty patients in under 60 seconds each using RPM: Respirations, Perfusion, Mental status. Training reference only — follow your agency protocol and medical direction.

Triage criterion

RR = 24 \leq 30 \Rightarrow not RED by RR

Reading this result: RPM checks pass (RR 24/min, perfusion adequate, follows commands), so the patient is DELAYED (YELLOW).

The SIR model splits a population into Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered and lets them flow between compartments. R₀ — the average number infected by one case — sets whether an outbreak grows. Vaccinating above the herd-immunity threshold 1−1/R₀ prevents an epidemic outright.

Peak infected0.0%

Total infected0.0%

Herd immunity60%

Governing equation

\frac{d S}{d t} = - β S I, \frac{d I}{d t} = β S I - γ I, \frac{d R}{d t} = γ I; β = 0.357, γ = 0.143, R_{0} = \frac{β}{γ} = 2.50

Reading this result: R₀ = 2.50 > 1 with only 0% immune, so infections grow into an epidemic. You would need to immunize 60% (the herd-immunity threshold 1−1/R₀) to stop it; the current effective reproduction number is 2.50.
