I want to talk it over with my kids, but I want to be ready for them to ask questions like "what if we did (some cool other idea) for social distancing?" I also thought this would be useful for classes like intro physics, data science, computational modeling, etc., especially if those classes can team up with humanities, arts, etc. So, I
I put the Python code on github so that it's easy to grab and play with. I like having notebooks as standalone things, so all of the relevant code from when I wrote this up is also at the end of the notebook. I tried to make the code basic enough that it's easy to add different models yourself; please do so!
