Yellow Fever Outbreak
My village has a yellow fever out break and I have two hospitals, yet some of the infected seem to refuse to go to the hospital. The hospitals aren't even at half capacity, and I emptied out all the jobs but the doctors and teachers so the sick will go to the hospital but they ared just walking around not going anywhere.

Do you have a lot of herbs stored? They will look around for herbs before going to the hospital. The doctor will also run around to get herbs. The more herbs you got in stock, and high health (red hearts), faster your residents will heal. You could have 20 hospitals, it doesn't matter.

Herbs and herbalists are an excellent thing to have to prevent disease. However, when people get sick they can do a number of things. Sometimes they go immediately to the hospital. As far as I can tell, this is when they are flaggled as 'idling'. For example, watch the knucklehead standing around this hosptial:

If they have started a journey, they finish it. For example, I had a student get infected (cholera) when returning to school. He crossed a big section of the map, infecting people all along the way. He entered the school and almost immediately the school emptied with half the students infected. Then he went to the hospital. I'm still kicking myself for not making a gif of it :)
