Transmission tree- a diagram used to organize data with branches and circles or squares. Transmission trees can be used to display facts and to show cause and effect. They help us solve problems. See above for image. An example of using a transmission tree - Let's say I am an infected person and share the disease with 4 people. I would make branches to the four other people who are now infected and write the order I shared with them. If i shared with Matt first, then the branch going to Matt's circle would have a 1 next to it, closer to my circle.
Patient Zero- the person who started the disease
Today in class we continued working on finding "patient zero". To find "patient zero" we used transmission trees to find who started the disease. We also extended yesterdays list of the none "patient zero" people. We extended our list to 15 people that could not have been patient zero. Our list includes:
Colin
Garett
Caroline
Rachel
"Lelo"
Alysse
Chloe
Carolina
Sam
Ally
MaryKate
Ariel
Elizabeth
Jodi
Tori
We did not check to see if these people were possibly patient zero:
Tim
Mark
Laryssa
Claudia
Natalie
Matt
Sara
Corina
The clean people who were not infected at all:
Colin
Ally
Caroline
Sammantha
Corina
possibly more...
Eventually, after working on this Mr. Finley told us that I ( Tim) was "Patient Zero" and started the whole disease. I felt so proud.
