Period 7 - Patient Zero Experiment

Today we talked about the way we are supposed to act when we come into class. This is because we came in very loud. So what we need to do is we have to come into class quietly, take out our homework, and use our indoor voices.

Then, we went back to the patient zero experiment that we left off from yesterday, we created a tree diagram as you can see to your left. We made two separate categories, based on our test, one with a list of the names of people that cannot be patient zero and another one with a couple names that could be patient zero.



To start off the experiment, we tested out who Vinny traded his fluid with. And he traded with LB, JM, JS. So Stephen believed that it was Jake that is patient zero. At first we agreed, but when we continued the tree diagram, it showed that Jake is not patient zero. After that we tested who Jonathan traded with, he traded with JP, NM, and SD. We found out that he might have been patient zero. To check our hypothesis, we saw who Jordan traded with. He traded with SF,SB, and CT. After, that we tested who Jimmy traded with. He traded with JP and SD, and they turned out to be sick after they traded with Jimmy. But when Sophie traded with NM, she also got sick after trading with Sophie. We know that Jimmy and Sophie are definitely patient zero. This is because everyone they traded with, got sick.

ADVICE: We were able to eliminate JP of being patient zero because when he interacted with CT and SB, he did not get either of them sick. But when JP interacted with JE, who hadn't interacted with any one before, JP got sick. So we know that JP is NOT pateint zero but JE is.
