Implement 5-day work week #138
Conversation

Can the simulation's start day be any day of the week? This flexibility will allow ExaEpi to take any initial case input |

The new implementation assumes that all people stay at home during the weekend. In reality a significant portion of the population can participate in outdoor activities or travel during the weekend. Should we have scale factors for respective interaction models during the weekend? I can use the mobiliti data to study the behavioral changes between weekdays and weekend. |

Do you want to make this change in AgentContainer::interactDay() instead (put the isWorkDay condition around the lines calling work, school, and work neighborhood interactions? We can then later add social interactions for the !workDay case.
This adds a 5-day work week for a closer match to EpiCast and (probably) reality as well. Note the period features in the graph of newly symptomatic individuals below. It also introduces a slight delay in the peak.
