Abstract

Operation Outbreak (OO) is a Bluetooth-based simulation platform that teaches students how pathogens spread and the impact of interventions, thereby facilitating the safe reopening of schools. OO also generates data to inform epidemiological models and prevent future outbreaks. Before SARS-CoV-2 was reported, we repeatedly simulated a virus with similar features, correctly predicting many human behaviors later observed during the pandemic.

摘要

行动爆发 (OO) 是一个基于蓝牙的模拟平台，它教授学生病原体如何传播以及干预的影响，从而促进学校安全重新开放。OO 还生成数据为流行病学模型提供信息，以防止未来的爆发。在 SARS-CoV-2 被报告之前，我们反复模拟了一种具有类似特征的病毒，正确预测了大流行期间后来观察到的许多人类行为。
