Concept introduction:
The carrying capacity of a population is the maximum number of the species which can survive in the presence of the ambient conditions of temperature, nutrients and oxygen. The presence of pathogens like bacteria and viruses cause infection in the organisms leading to their death. This causes the reduction in the survivorship curves and the growth curves of the organisms.

The tablet makes somewhat sick people feel a bit better and reduces the death rate of those who are extremely sick. Nobody sells counterfeit pills and no prescriptions are needed for the tablets. Some of the poor Wathu citizens are selling their treatment tablet to richer citizens for $400, which is what the rich citizens would have to pay to the treatment center per tablet.
