2 Meters Apart
A downloadable Simulation for Windows and macOS
This simulation is here to simulate Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19) to educate people on how fast a virus can spread in a smaller school community with a population of 540 (180 of them are students) The simulation is based on the SIR model where the "people" go from Susceptible to Infect to Removed which is either Recovered or dead.

Install instructions
On all systems, you will have to go through some extra steps because we are not official creators.
On Mac: you have to open it once then when the pop-up comes, press "close". Afterward, go to "security and privacy" in the system preferences, go to "general", and press "open anyway"
On Windows: open the app and a pop-up that stops the app from running, click on "more info" and then click "Run anyway".
Note: The default is set to have no audio and medium graphics which you can change in the settings menu. It also lags a bit so if your computer is very weak it might only be able to run it for a couple of cycles.
