The spread of epidemics is often accompanied by the epidemic-related information, and two processes are interdependent interactive. A social reinforcement effect frequently emerges during transmission both epidemic information. While prior studies have primarily examined role positive in this process, influence negative has largely been neglected. In paper, we incorporate effects establish a two-layer dynamical model to investigate interactive coupling mechanism information transmission. Heaviside step function utilized describe reinforcements actual process. microscopic Markov chain approach used dynamic evolution outbreak threshold derived. Extensive Monte Carlo numerical simulations demonstrate that while alters promotes their spread, does not change but significantly impedes both. addition, publishing more accurate through official channels, intensifying quarantine measures, promoting vaccines treatments for outbreaks, enhancing physical immunity can also help contain epidemics.
