Mathematics of Epidemics | Trish Campbell | TEDxYouth@Frankston

Using the example of how videos and images can become viral on the internet Trish Campbell explores the role that mathematical modeling plays in understanding the spread of infectious diseases.

Trish Campbell is a postdoctoral researcher at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health and an Honorary Fellow at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute. Trish’s PhD research improved understanding of how whooping cough spreads and developed strategies to protect infants too young to be vaccinated. Continuing in the field of infectious diseases, Trish has recently started researching the spread of skin infections, a major cause of poor health in Australian Indigenous populations.

The "models" are outrageously wrong. Random guessing would probably be more accurate.
