Figure 3

Epidemic curves using the different values for each media function. Functions (1) (dotted line), (2) (dashed line), and (3) (solid line) are shown when p ₃ = 10 (top), 100 (middle), 1000 (bottom). p ₁ and p ₂ are determined by equations (4) and (5) with γ = 1/4 and I c = 300. For comparison, the standard SEIR model 6 with no media effect is also shown (dash-dotted line).
