Use the orange and grey slider above the map to watch the weekly spread of infection. Below the red R is R naught, the number of other people an infected person is likely to infect. Below the graph, find many options for how to view the data behind what is happening as the disease spreads.

Nice work! When you play your simulation, it will show that you prevented so many infections, hospitalizations, and deaths that no icons remain on the map other than the initial infected. Review the legend to learn how many people were affected by COVID-19.

Numbers are rounded. If the number of people in a group isn’t more than 0.005% of the population, that group will be listed as 0%.

*Only susceptible people can be vaccinated. Those who are exposed, infected, recovered, or dead cannot be vaccinated.
Total people vaccinated can decrease over time, as sometimes immunity is lost after vaccination. This is not due to deaths. In the United States, tens of millions of people have received a COVID-19 vaccine and no one has died due to the vaccine.

**Exposed people include those in the incubation period before they are infectious.

Numbers may differ from those above. In the simulation screen above, you are looking at specific day counts, while here it is total cumulative numbers. If you look at the last day above, it may also vary from this section because this also includes births and natural deaths in the total population.
