Dynamics models for identifying the key transmission parameters of the COVID-19 disease

Muhammad Shahzad et al.

Summary: After the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, around 100 research groups globally are working on developing vaccines. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the pandemic, along with the impact of rapid test infection identification on controlling the spread, are crucial. Mathematical models and computational simulations are effective tools in estimating transmission parameters and improving disease control efforts.

The underlying factors of excess mortality in 2020: a cross-country analysis of pre-pandemic healthcare conditions and strategies to cope with Covid-19

Nikolaos Kapitsinis

Summary: This study examines the geographical distribution of excess mortality in different countries during the pandemic, finding that factors such as health privatization, healthcare underfunding, and late implementation of containment strategies are major drivers of excess mortality. However, it also suggests that increased health expenditure, number of doctors and hospital beds, population coverage by health insurance, and test and trace capacity are associated with lower excess mortality.

Spatial analysis of COVID-19 incidence and the sociodemographic context in Brazil

Carlos Eduardo Raymundo et al.

Summary: Social inequality in Brazilian municipalities increased the risk of COVID-19, while better social development was negatively associated with disease risk. Improved access to health services enhanced disease diagnosis and notification, and was linked to higher case numbers in municipalities.

Country-level determinants of the severity of the first global wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: an ecological study

Tiberiu A. Pana et al.

Summary: Through an ecological study and multivariable linear regression analysis, this study found that the total number of international arrivals and BCG vaccination coverage were significantly associated with the average death rate of COVID-19. Early restrictions on international travel should be considered to control the outbreaks and prevent deaths related to COVID-19.

On the heterogeneous spread of COVID-19 in Chile

Danton Freire-Flores et al.

Summary: This study used a multi-group SEIRA model to study the spreading dynamics of COVID-19 in Chile, highlighting the strong coupling between different regions and emphasizing the importance of organized and coordinated actions to control the spread of the virus. In addition, forecasts suggest that lifting restrictions early may lead to novel outbreaks.
