Good morning! The mathematical formula used by epidemiologists to predict a pandemic is fundamentally quite simple, yet complex and filled with assumptions. It’s exponential until it’s not. (Waiting for it to be not is the scary part!) It can’t be exponential forever because the number of people is finite. As soon as the number of transmissions of a disease; e.g., COVIDs, from one person to others drops below one, the infections steadily decrease to near-zero. Measures can be taken, such as vaccines, to change or interrupt the mathematical trajectory. Fascinating. As someone famously said, “It always boils down to the math.”
