; Two agentsets are involved in this Model (Humans and rats)
; Hence defining two breeds as follows
breed [humans human]
breed [rats rat]

;       COLOUR CODES:
; Red rat (red - 2) - Multimammate Rat (All Assumed to be infectious)
; White Human - Healthy, not infected/infectious
; Yellow Human - Infected but not infectious (within virus incubation period)
; Orange Human (orange + 2) - Infectious with Mild Symptoms
; Red Human - Infectious with Severe Symptoms
; Cyan Human - Recovered, immune but still Infectious
; Lime Human (lime + 1) - Fully recovered and immune
; Gray Human - Dead


; Declaring humans owned variables
humans-own [
  hours            ; each tick represents an hour
  human_speed      ; to control human speed
]

; Declaring all global variables used...
; (excluding the sliders which do not need to be declared here)
globals [

  mild_cases_count         ; current count of all mild cases
  severe_cases_count       ; current count of all severe cases
  severe_cases             ; counting variable for infected humans with severe symptoms
  mild_cases               ; counting variable for infected humans with mild symptoms or asymptomatic
  total_mild_cases         ; includes intial mild cases
  total_severe_cases       ; includes initial severe cases
  fatalities               ; counting variable for human deaths
  total_fatalities         ; count of all deaths ever recorded
  immune_infectious      ; current count of recovered and immune humans that are still carriers

  immune_or_severe_%infectiousness     ; virus spread chance of immune/recovered carriers
                                       ; or humans with severe symptoms assuming that they are hospitalized/isolated and pose little
                                       ; risk of infecting others

  current_cases       ; number of cases at the curent time
  total_cases         ; Count of all cases ever recorded : addition of counting variables (mild_cases + severe_cases)
  total_immune        ; includes both immune carriers and immune with no virus
  total_infected      ; all carrier humans
