Abstract
How we behave and with whom we deal are key factors who determine how respiratory viruses such as SARS-COV-2, influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus spread over the population. However, these factors are often ignored in making public health policy. This research creates a new mathematical simulation program to better understand the role of human behavior and social factors in the transfer of respiratory viruses, with the aim of using these findings to improve public health policy for the management of acute airway disorders.
