Abstract: I review the SEIR fundamental equations of epidemiology and reproduce the fundamental paper "Seasonality and period doubling bifurcations in an epidemic model", where intrinsic chaotic behavior in epidemiology was discovered. I reproduce via numerical integration known results that measles epidemiology parameters display intrinsic chaos and compare to data. I extend the model to introduce an immunity-waning time constant, and ask the question: Does Covid behave with intrinsic chaos? I discuss the nature of the long term endemic equilibrium.
