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 $\frac{1}{5}$.
\subsection{Graphical Representation}
\subsubsection{The Basis SIR model}
Public ASU 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, approximately 20, and taking gamma to be $\frac{1}{5}$, we are able to calculate the value for $\beta$. This can be done such:
\begin{equation*}
\beta = R_0\cdot \gamma
\end{equation*}
