IN the beginning of class today we talked about the homework. The homework was about how there was an epidemic in a computer game called World of Warcraft. Scientists studied how the disease spread and how the players reacted to the disease. It was very helpful for the scientists to study. Video games really help scientists because they show how the people react to something without actually harming or physically hurting them in real life.
After we finished talking about the homework we started talking about how one of the schools in New York and how they thought they were going through an epidemic. We had to observe the data on the schools website and determine if we thought they were going through an epidemic or if it was just a fluke. We had to take notes and observations based on the absency rate. In class today we did't get enough information to determine whether it was an epidemic or not.
