It is important because it is different from the spread of other things, for every 20 people who got it-18 people got it from them. Exponential growth leads to epidmeic, contagion affects more than non-contagion people. Non-contagion model: 100 infective people, each time about 200 people get infected (linear effect) The types of networks matter as the structure can affect exposure: mode of transmission: colds/flus, cholera (people using same watter means they live near eachother, stds (sexual interaction, needles, blood contact) Study: jefferson high: identified sexual/romantic partners from a roster.
