\item how to estimate $R_0$
\end{itemize}
The recovery time for yellow fever is between 4-6 days. The graphs below have time intervals of one day on the x-axis, hence the parameter $\gamma$ should be calculated as the rate of recovery per day. Using the 4-6 day recovery time data, taking 5 as an average, it can be estimated the the parameter $\gamma$ is
$\frac{1}{5}. $\frac{1}{5}$.
\subsection{Graphical Representation}
Public ASU (find correct name for source) has developed multiple programs in which parameters can be entered to produce a graph that shows the transition of individuals in a population between the three classification of susceptible, infected and removed. Having calculated $R_0$ to be roughly 18, and taking gamma to be $\frac{1}{5}$, we are able to calculate the value for $\beta$. This can be done such:
\begin{equation}
