The second day of the Simulation Track at the MIDSEA Summer School 2025 on June 24, 2025, proceeded smoothly. Held in the Bima Room at the MICC Building, The Alana Yogyakarta Hotel and Convention Center, the session titled “Sojourn Times and Uncertainty” discussed the unrealistic nature of the standard infectious disease model (SIR), which consists of three compartments or phases: the susceptible phase (S), the infected phase (I), and the recovered phase (R). This is due to the fact that the population size in each phase is not an integer, and the deterministic model does not account for the duration of time an individual spends in a particular phase. ...
