Abstract

In this paper, we discuss and analyze the well-known Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) Model to address the following questions: (Q1) What total proportion of the population will get infected? (Q2) What proportion of the population should be vaccinated in order to suppress the epidemic? To answer these questions, we discuss and analyze and the SIR model and its variations to predict the outcome of an epidemic and any measures needed to suppress the outbreak of the disease.
