Robust estimation of diagnostic rate and real incidence of COVID-19 for European policymakers

Marti Catala et al.

Summary: Decision-makers need a clear and fast assessment of the real spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, as standard measures like reported cases and total deaths may not provide a complete picture. This study presents a transparent and empirical method to estimate the diagnostic rate in European countries, in order to provide a uniform and unbiased incidence of the epidemic. This method has been dynamic and has been yielding converging numbers for diagnostic rates in all European countries, allowing policymakers to obtain Effective Potential Growth and assess countries at greater risk of facing an uncontrolled situation.

Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection

Jennifer M. Dan et al.

Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Model-informed COVID-19 vaccine prioritization strategies by age and serostatus

Kate M. Bubar et al.

Summary: The study found that prioritizing the vaccine for adults aged 20 to 49 can minimize the number of cases, while prioritizing the vaccine for adults over 60 can minimize mortality and years of life lost. Redirecting vaccine doses to seronegative individuals through individual-level serological tests can improve the impact of each dose.

Public goods games on random hyperbolic graphs with mixing

Maja Duh et al.

Summary: The structure of networks plays a crucial role in determining the evolution of cooperation, with random geometric graphs in hyperbolic spaces promoting the development of public cooperation. Heterogeneous networks are more conducive to the success of cooperators compared to homogeneous networks. Both assortative and disassortative mixing on hyperbolic networks impair the success of cooperators, especially at low mixing frequencies.

Non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic: A review

Nicola Perra

Summary: Infectious diseases and human behavior are closely linked, with the outbreak of COVID-19 leading to significant behavioral changes. Non-pharmaceutical interventions have played a key role in combating the virus, prompting various societal processes to adapt. The availability of data describing behavioral changes induced by the pandemic has increased dramatically, providing opportunities for future research and challenges.

Endogenous social distancing and its underappreciated impact on the epidemic curve

Marko Gosak et al.

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of social distancing in mitigating the impact of infectious diseases, particularly during a pandemic. Using game theory, the interaction of voluntary social distancing in a partially infected population can be formalized to predict differential social distancing rates dependent on health status. The findings suggest that realistically benchmarking epidemic models considering endogenous social distancing is crucial for informing social distancing orders and lockdown policies.

Adaptive social contact rates induce complex dynamics during epidemics

Ronan F. Arthur et al.

Summary: Epidemics pose challenging dilemmas for governments and individuals, requiring a delicate balance between economic and personal health considerations. Adaptive social contact plays a key role in epidemic outcomes, yet the complexity of human-nature epidemic systems remains poorly understood.

Community lockdowns in social networks hardly mitigate epidemic spreading

Marko Gosak et al.

Summary: Research indicates that community lockdowns are effective only when links outside the communities are virtually completely sealed off, with targeted lockdowns yielding better results than random lockdowns. However, even with over 90% lockdown effectiveness, the peak of the infected curve decreases by only 20% and its onset is delayed by a factor of 1.5.

A new fractional mathematical modelling of COVID-19 with the availability of vaccine

Pushpendra Kumar et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new SEIRS dynamic model incorporating vaccine rate and utilizes Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative to explore the disease model dynamics. Real data from Spain is used for parameter values, and Predictor-Corrector algorithm is employed to derive model solutions. The main aim is to demonstrate the significant role of vaccines during the critical period of COVID-19.

A fractional order SITR mathematical model for forecasting of transmission of COVID-19 of India with lockdown effect

S. S. Askar et al.

Summary: This paper presents a mathematical model to explain, understand, and predict the outbreaks of COVID-19 in India, incorporating fractional order differential equations and the concept of refuge to study the impact of lockdown measures on COVID-19 spread. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify dominant parameters, with results showing that eta, mu, and rho have the strongest sensitivity indices to the basic reproduction number.

Mobility network models of COVID-19 explain inequities and inform reopening

Serina Chang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a SEIR model that integrates fine-grained, dynamic mobility networks to simulate the spread of COVID-19 in the ten largest US metropolitan areas. By accurately fitting the real case trajectory, the model identifies the effectiveness of restricting maximum occupancy at locations for curbing infections and reveals the contributions of mobility-related mechanisms to higher infection rates among disadvantaged socioeconomic and racial groups.
