Question

The proportion of people in a community infected with a virus that stays active for two weeks is x and the 
proportion uninfected is y. If the virus spreads only by contact between infected and uninfected members of the 
community, derive the differential equation that governs the virus spread and solve it assuming the fraction 
infected at t = 0, is xo. What happens over a long period and what recommendations would you make to contain 
the spread of the virus
