Predicting the Consequences of a Bioterrorist Incident at an Event
I am hoping to get into the field of Public Health and would love to work with anyone to gain more experience before attending graduate school.
However, I did have a question. Would it be possible to use residence data from a variety of venues that host large population events to predict the consequences and possible spread of a bioterrorist attack/epidemic?
In this situation, venues such as the XL Center, Fox Woods, Mohegan Sun, and others would require that attendees give residence information before buying tickets to high traffic events. This would allow public health officials to visualize the possible spread of a disease/agent and the best prophylactic measures for the rest of the community.
This is just a question I had and was hoping that someone might have an answer.
Happy Holidays,
