In this they have outlined information for 3 categories:
  •  Cause
  • Research
  • Symptoms

  • Identify the relevant information for each of the three categories in the communications we have recieved. 

To ensure total certainty, there are other groups working on this task too.

  •  Report your findings to the rest of the teams to compare information.
  •  BE READY IN 30 MINS

Let the government know. Create a report for them. It must include the following:
• A brief outline of the situation
 • Symptoms and causes – the effects these will have
 • Potential outcome – what will happen if this is not contained?
 • Possible solution – how is this best managed?

The newspaper is known for following the stories no-one else will. All of your time has been taken with covering the Strain Z outbreak. You have hardly slept or eaten, nevermind had time to shower. There is so much to cover and resources a limited.
 Working late you hear footsteps outside your office. No-one comes in, but when you walk to the door, there has been an envelop pushed under. It's addressed to you.

On Day One of the outbreak, Patient X was the carrier; we know Strain Z is contageous. We have seen that they infected 2 other people.
These 2 others infected 2 more.

It would appear that each infected can infect only 2 new people.
The pattern of infection continues. People do not recover or become immune.]]> 2017-06-15 10:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_buckley/strainz/wish/176529098 richard_buckley https://padlet.com/richard_buckley/strainz/wish/176529148 COMPLETE THE PREDICTION TABLE AND WORK OUT:
  • How many new people will be infected on day 14? 

  • After how many days will more than 1 000 000 people in total be infected?

The 2015 census totalled the UK population at 65 million. 
  •  How long is it going to take for everyone in the UK to become infected?
