Creating a Phase Plane Diagram

Your last job is easy. Using a single Show command, you can combine all six of the disease#plots that you made as you went through this lab into a single picture.

Go ahead, switch to Mathematica and make it now!

Now, let's go and have a look at the diagram you should have made...
