Popis: In our paper we use the, recently proposed, model for simulating the process of disease spreading in the environment defined by the Cellular Automaton. The main effort goes to the analysis of the influence of cell size on the epidemic curves and other characteristics related to the studied process. We take into account some real data concerning the occupation in the city of Łodź, which has about 700000 inhabitants. The results show that by marshaling the parameters of simulation we can obtain explicitly different results. This comment applies to a lot of features like: the shape of epidemic curve, the total number of diseased or the amount of ill in particular areas/cells.
