Simple Epidemic Modeling in GO

My last article detailed a “Simple Epidemic Modeling in Python”. After waiting 5 minutes and 16 seconds for the model to work through an epidemic in a population of 1 million people, I decided to write the model in GO. I’ve been interested in GO for awhile and tested it about 4 years ago, time for a deeper dive.

TLDR: GO took 6 seconds to run a million people through the epidemic.
