Case Study "Modeling Seasonal Influenza"
This model is part of a suite of infectious disease models, including SEIR-Model-Base-Seasonal, SEIR-Model-Vaccination-Seasonal, SEIR-Model-Antivirals, SEIR-Model-Isolation, and SEIR-Model-Periodic-Transmission. These five models are part of the case study "Modeling Seasonal Influenza", 2016, by Marcia Harrison-Pitaniello, Jessica Shiltz, Rober Hughes, Roger Estep, and Anna Mummert published by the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/).

Problems with this model (Question)
We have been running this model in our Micro class and it crashes quite often. The program simulation will stop after 5-10 days whenever the Daily Isolation Chance is adjusted.

RE: Problems with this model
When the Daily Isolation Chance is higher than the default, the simulation will end after 5-10 days more often. This is expected. When the Daily Isolation Chance is higher it means that infectious individuals are less likely to spread the disease. Therefore the outbreak will end sooner. For example, when the Daily Isolation Chance is 25%, three out of ten simulations looked like a "real outbreak", long (average 72 days) with a well defined peak of infection; the other seven ended on average after 8 days. At 50%, zero of ten simulations looked like a "real outbreak"; all ten ended quickly, on average after 5.75 days. (Simulations run with all other parameters at their default values.) This model shows the importance of Isolation as a method to end / control the spread of infectious diseases like influenza.

Applications and explanation (Question)
Is this model also good to describe the covid-19 pandemic? Is it possible to have a deeper documentation or explanation about how the model works and the design choices for the code?
