In these times of Covid, Epidemic has become a buzz word everywhere. While saluting the health professionals and others putting their utmost effort to salvage people wherever the in the world, do you know that there is a mathematical model for Epidemics. This model is called Epidemic Protocol or more famously Gossip Protocol.

The theory based on a population where there is an infected node, uninfected will be infected as we are observing in current Covid-19 pandemic. 

Let us look at this mathematical theory.

Though this theory is mainly used to identify the propagation of Epidemic, this theory is used to communicate between Peer-to-Peer system. https://flopezluis.github.io/gossip-simulator/is providing a simulator for the Gossip / Epidemic theory.
