With the 2020 pandemic came unexpected mathematical and computational problems. In this paper, we provide two examples of such problems-examples that we present in simplified pedagogical form. The problems are related to the need for social distancing and to the need for fast testing. We hope that these examples will help students better understand the importance of mathematical models.
