Streamlit app for Wells-Riley model

Inspired by a really nice Google Sheets by Jose-Luis Jimenez and Zhe Peng, I have done a simple app that plots the Wells-Riley prediction of the probability of becoming infected, as the function of the length of time you spend in a room. Wells-Riley is a simple model for estimating the probability that you will become infected if you spend time in a room with someone who is infected. The app is hosted by Heroku and it uses Streamlit – an easy way of doing interactive plots using Python.

Slides from an old 2020 talk

The pdf of the slides of my talk entitled Some simple physics of corona virus transmission at SOFT MATTER: THE UNSEEN SCIENCE ALL AROUND US is here. I cover both simple models of person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and of masks/face coverings, but it is now out of date.
