The City Department of Health has found out that a very infectious strain of influenza (transmission probability 0.3) is likely to hit soon for which the current vaccine is not effective. So far the DOH think about 100 people in the city have been infected. We know that influenza illness usually lasts for an average of 5 days and for every 1000 people who get influenza 1 person requires intensive care for 2 days. The population in the city is 80,000. The R0 (the basic reproductive rate) for this strain of influenza has initially been estimated to be 4. What is the likely contact rate for this epidemic of influenza?
