\section{Modelling the spread of Yellow Fever using the Basis SIR model}  \begin{itemize}  \item Using an approximate $\beta$ and $\gamma$ to calculate an appropriate $R_0$  \item Show using graph that using the basis model, the spread is too slow to replicate real life  \item Question- what factors will affect it to make the rate of spread more like the real life example  \end{itemize}  \section{Adapting the SIR model}  It is clear that using the basis SIR model to predict the spread of yellow fever is not appropriate. This was expected; there are simply too many assumptions in the basis model, as well as a lack of appreciation for factors which may affect the rate of spread.
