Assignment #08: Pydemic - second wave#
Pydemic is a simple agent-based model of a pandemic.
We already used it for the previous assignment.
This time, we want to illustrate how to use inheritance in OOP. Your task is to develop a child class of NaiveAgent called PolicyAwareAgent. These agents behave much like NaiveAgents, with one exception: they can go into quarantine. After a given incubation time (say 3 days) during which the agents are contagious but unaware that they are sick, the agents will go into quarantine and therefore are out of the domain and do not pose a risk to the other agents.
Other possible enhancements:
PolicyAwareAgentsare aware of the number of contagious agents at a given time and decide to quarantine themselves when the infection rate is highthe simulation is a mix of
