Overview
For the different types of symptoms, the trend in the Map could divided into three types. One is infectious-related symptoms, such as fever, flu, cough. One is none infectious related symptoms, like headache and Fatigue. The last one is intestines and stomach symptoms, such as nausea and diarrhea. In the report, mainly introduced the infectious-related symptoms and intestines and stomach symptoms.
Waterborne
The diarrhea was transferred by waterborne. The diarrhea was firstly happened in 19th May. But the 18th May data of diarrahea was missing in the datasets. It was not clear to find out whether diarrhea outbreak on 18th May or 19th May. But it did not spread to other regions except the original outbreak areas along the riverside. From the info provided in the report, residents and businesses get their drinking water by pumping water from nearby reservoirs or rivers. The location of Smogtown is near to the riverside. The diarrahea was only happened in Smogtown(southwest part in the Map) area along the riverside. the Also, the river flows from north to south, which means the water can only reach from north part to south part of the town. From the above evidence, it could conclude that the diarrahea is transmitted by water from the north part of the Smogtown. Figure 4 displays the trend and the distribution of the population who got diarrahea.
