COVID 19- Warning<\/p>\n
In the Logic of Failure, the game simulation replicates political power in towns and how exercising that power affects the common people. In the issue with Tanaland, every population contains a carrying capacity. Factors like food supply, water source, and medical aid can affect how much a population is able to handle before a population declines. It\u2019s interesting to read how the Tsetse fly affected the Southern African population because the biology lab I currently work in tests on tsetse flies. The tsetse fly can be carriers of a parasite that causes African Sleeping sickness in mammals. We test certain genes to mutate to determine if it would cause less transmission of the disease. A question my lab and our partner labs have asked is how would discovering the gene that affects transmission affect the population of cattle and humans in Africa? We would first have to find the gene that affects transmission but it is important to ask what would we do with that information once we have discovered it.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d be interested to see if a simulation like this could show the events leading to an outbreak, like the pandemic were currently living in. A simulation like this could have the option of being the highest power (president of the United states) or something below it like a senator or governor. I would like to see how many would react upon knowing about the virus initially and what decisions would be made to combat the outbreak. I wonder if people would keep the decisions that many governors have made of ordering a mandatory curfew and lockdown of the state. It would be nice to see if there was a possibility to have prevented this virus from becoming the pandemic that it has to be able to prevent it from happening again in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
