Social Networks & Ending the Pandemic with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Nicholas Christakis

Up front, YouTube videos without a comment makes it very difficult to dive into the conversation...

That said, I thought the part about using wave mechanics to model spread was interesting, but I would ask that while it may seem similar, what evidence do they have, or what test cases do we have that wave mechanics provides a good model and that the aspects of wave mechanics apply to the spread of pathogens? To be clear, I am not saying it doesn't or shouldn't be explored, but approaching from having in-depth involvement with testing and developing modeling software for chemical agents. Due to the varied nature of biological pathogens, we hadn't approached attempting any actual real-time modeling, but we talked about it a lot. Wave mechanics may provide an answer, or at least an interim solution until refined.
