# From a germ to a healthy community

> A process map exported from forks.world (https://forks.world). Author: Brian. Source: https://forks.world/p/cmv21ydst002pif06n0yr09wv
> It describes who does what, in what order, and with which technology. Read the plain-language sections first; the JSON at the end is the exact, complete data.

## Summary

- 8 steps across 1 layer
- Persona: You, Doctor, Your body, Public health

## How to read this file

- A process is made of **layers**. The main layer is the top level; any step of kind `subprocess` opens a detail layer with its own lanes and steps.
- **Lanes** are either persona (people/roles) or technology (systems). Each step belongs to one lane; `using` lists tools a person uses for that step.
- Step kinds: `start`, `task`, `decision` (its arrows carry the answer as a label), `subprocess`, `end`.

## From a germ to a healthy community

Lanes:
- You: person / role (id `you`)
- Doctor: person / role (id `doctor`)
- Your body: person / role (id `body`)
- Public health: person / role (id `health`)

Steps, in the order they run:

1. **Catch something** [start; You; id `e1`]
   - then Your immune system responds
2. **Your immune system responds** [subprocess; Your body; id `e2`], links to the published process "How your immune system fights an infection" (https://forks.world/p/cmv21nlb90002l206rdu6yn55; full text at https://forks.world/api/public/cmv21nlb90002l206rdu6yn55/export)
   - then Rest and sleep to recover
3. **Rest and sleep to recover** [subprocess; You; id `e3`], links to the published process "What happens in your body when you sleep" (https://forks.world/p/cmv21nmlt000cl206lsp3u9ka; full text at https://forks.world/api/public/cmv21nmlt000cl206lsp3u9ka/export)
   - then Is it bacterial?
4. **Is it bacterial?** [decision; Doctor; id `e4`]
   - if "Yes" go to Prescribe antibiotics and finish the course; if "No" go to Fluids and rest, and no antibiotics
5. **Prescribe antibiotics and finish the course** [subprocess; Doctor; id `e5`], links to the published process "How bacteria become resistant to antibiotics" (https://forks.world/p/cmv21nlze0007l206u7zyu86x; full text at https://forks.world/api/public/cmv21nlze0007l206u7zyu86x/export)
   - then Vaccines protect people who never got sick
6. **Vaccines protect people who never got sick** [subprocess; Public health; id `e7`], links to the published process "From lab idea to vaccine in your arm" (https://forks.world/p/cmv0ie1q40018jw06ksu339x2; full text at https://forks.world/api/public/cmv0ie1q40018jw06ksu339x2/export)
   - then If it spreads fast, treat it as an outbreak
7. **If it spreads fast, treat it as an outbreak** [subprocess; Public health; id `e8`], links to the published process "How a pandemic spreads and is brought under control" (https://forks.world/p/cmv21y860001bif06pqad7qw2; full text at https://forks.world/api/public/cmv21y860001bif06pqad7qw2/export)
   - (no next step recorded)
8. **Fluids and rest, and no antibiotics** [task; Doctor; id `e6`]
   - then Vaccines protect people who never got sick
