If you look at the equations of the SIR model, the meaning of this constant
in front of the I here is pretty clear.
This number of 5 days controls the infectious period of the disease,
but what about the first constant here that controls the rate of infection.
Assume that we're looking at a secluded small town with 1,000 inhabitants in total
and assume that everyone meets 25 persons per day, and third, assume that the infection probability
is 2% per contact, which number should be entered here.
Just input that number.
