So far so good, this module well articulated.
Still can’t see the RDM file to answer the questions
The link to the reference from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, titled ‘Introduction to Infectious Disease Modeling’ from the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, is no longer accessible. However, I found a working link as of September 5, 2025:
