In this session, we will use GraphXR, backed by Neo4j, to simulate an epidemic as it travels through a representative population. Using a custom coded simulation extension, we will be able to track the behavior of an epidemic in real-time, gaining statistical insight as it moves through social networks at different infection rates. In the midst of COVID19, this simulation unveils our interconnectedness while depicting the impact of our actions through the rates of transmission in any given epidemic scenario.
