[Intro]
\nWith the ease of disease
\n(She’ll do as she please)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHector,
\nAre you off on…
\n(Another vector)
\nYou, mutant, you
\n(What are ya gonna do?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSpread, baby, spread
\n(On her death bed)
\nDread, baby, dread
\n(Your baby’s dead)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWith the ease of disease
\n(She’ll do as she please)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nIf you tell 2 friends
\n(And they tell 2 friends)
\nAnd, so, woe… no whoa
\n(You know how it ends)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSpread, baby, spread
\n(On her death bed)
\nDread, baby, dread
\n(Your baby’s dead)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSo, let it be said:
\n(Stop the spread!)
\nWhy refrain…
\n(Doesn’t take a brain)
\n(Just a heart)
\n… to start
\nWith the ease of disease
\n(She’ll do as she please)
\n… ‘less we bring ‘er to her knees
\n(Bring ‘er to her knees!)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE<\/p>\n

\n
Disease spread is fundamentally a non-linear<\/strong> process because the number of new infections isn’t constant; it accelerates rapidly as the number of infected individuals increases<\/mark>. This is a classic example of an exponential growth curve<\/strong>, much like the “J-curve” shape previously discussed [1].\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This means the growth rate itself grows over time, leading to a dramatic increase in cases, rather than a steady, linear progression.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
