The current implementation allows an infected individual to infect the same susceptible neighbor multiple times in the same day, which is not realistic. A more accurate implementation would keep track of the individuals who have already been infected in a given day, and prevent them from infecting others again. To fix this issue, we can modify the for loop that computes new infections as follows: # Compute new infections new_infections = np.zeros(POPULATION_SIZE) for i in range(POPULATION_SIZE): if population[i] == 1: neighbors = np.random.choice(POPULATION_SIZE, size=int(TRANSMISSION_RATE * POPULATION_SIZE), replace=False) for neighbor in neighbors: if population[neighbor] == 0 and new_infections[neighbor] == 0: new_infections[neighbor] = 1 break
