Regional responsibility and coordination of appropriate inpatient care capacities for patients with COVID-19-the German DISPENSE model

Benedict J. Luensmann et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a challenge to healthcare systems worldwide, requiring detailed surveillance and prediction of bed capacities. The German federal state of Saxony established COVID-19 coordination centers and used the DISPENSE tool to provide regional overviews of the pandemic situation and daily predictions for bed requirements. This has allowed for alertness to the second wave and strategic resource allocation.

Model based estimation of the SARS-CoV-2 immunization level in austria and consequences for herd immunity effects

Martin Bicher et al.

Summary: Achieving worldwide herd immunity against COVID-19 in 2021 is unlikely due to limited availability of vaccines and low number of people infected. However, vaccination and natural infections provide some level of immune protection and can impact the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This study presents an estimation of immunization in the Austrian population using a simulation model and discusses potential consequences on herd immunity effects.

Robust and optimal predictive control of the COVID-19 outbreak

Johannes Koehler et al.

Summary: The study shows that adaptive feedback strategies are required to reliably contain the COVID-19 outbreak, and well-designed policies can significantly reduce the number of fatalities. In dealing with uncertain data and model mismatch, using model predictive control (MPC) to implement a feedback strategy that updates the policy weekly can achieve reliable performance.

Development of the reproduction number from coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 case data in Germany and implications for political measures

Sahamoddin Khailaie et al.

Summary: A compartmental infection dynamics model was used to estimate the time-varying reproduction number of viral spreading in Germany and its federal states, showing that the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions can reduce the reproduction number, but partial release of interventions may lead to increases. Real-time monitoring of transmission dynamics is crucial for evaluating the outbreak extent, short-term projections for the healthcare system burden, and the response to policy changes.

Effects of latency and age structure on the dynamics and containment of COVID-19

K. B. Blyuss et al.

Summary: The SEIR-type model developed in this study considers the non-exponential distribution of incubation and recovery periods for COVID-19, along with the age structure of the population. It was found that the more realistic Gamma distribution has a significant impact on the peak numbers of infected individuals, critical care cases, and the overall duration of the epidemic. Additionally, the age structure of the population plays an important role in influencing the outcomes of various lockdown strategies.

Testing, tracing and isolation in compartmental models

Simone Sturniolo et al.

Summary: The study introduces the SEIR-TTI model as an extension of the classic SEIR model to enhance decision making by including contact tracing. This new model is shown to accurately approximate the behavior of agent-based models at a lower computational cost, making it a valuable tool for exploring testing and tracing levels in disease outbreak management.

Inferring the effect of interventions on COVID-19 transmission networks

Simon Syga et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of NPIs during the first wave of COVID-19 infections in Germany by combining Bayesian parameter inference with an agent-based epidemiological model. The results show that NPIs significantly reduced random contacts in the transmission network, increased network clustering, and led to a previously unrecognized transition in the number of new cases from exponential to constant.

Summary: Mathematical models in epidemiology play a crucial role in determining the dynamics and characteristics of infectious diseases, aiding in political decision-making and intervention strategies during outbreaks. However, reliably inferring epidemic dynamics from complex models and real data remains challenging, often requiring laborious manual parameter fitting or expensive optimization methods.

Summary: The study investigates the behavior of agent-based models on long time scales through the use of a transfer operator approach, bridging the gap between pathwise results for large populations and approaches for studying dynamical behavior on long time scales. This method provides a rigorous analysis of rare events, including their associated asymptotic rates on timescales exponentially scaling with population size.

The role of seasonality in the spread of COVID-19 pandemic

Xiaoyue Liu et al.

Summary: The transmission of COVID-19 is affected by seasonal factors, with higher infectivity and mortality in colder climates. The cold season in the Southern Hemisphere increases infections, while the warm season in the Northern Hemisphere decreases them. The study emphasizes the importance of considering seasonal factors when formulating intervention strategies.

A structured model for COVID-19 spread: modelling age and healthcare inequities

A. James et al.

Summary: This study used a stochastic branching process model to examine the heterogeneous spread of COVID-19 within a population based on age and level of healthcare access. Despite the lack of detailed empirical data, scenarios targeting specific groups such as school closures or social distancing among older people were found to have an effect, and there was identified a potential risk of undetected outbreaks in communities with limited access to healthcare resources.

Catch Me if You Can: Superspreading of COVID-19

Seema S. Lakdawala et al.

Summary: The superspreading of coronaviruses remains a mystery despite significant insights gained about COVID-19. Factors such as the genetic sequence of the virus, severity of disease, and underlying host parameters do not clearly drive this phenomenon. Further research is needed to explore whether characteristics of the virion, the donor, or the environment contribute to superspreading.

Mathematical modeling of spatio-temporal population dynamics and application to epidemic spreading

Stefanie Winkelmann et al.

Summary: Agent-based models are useful for modeling spatio-temporal population dynamics but come with high computational costs. Model reduction to a metapopulation model can improve efficiency while preserving key dynamical properties. The stochastic metapopulation model can be seen as a simplified projection of the underlying ABM through mathematical description.

Optimal allocation of limited vaccine to minimize the effective reproduction number

Isabelle J. Rao et al.

Summary: The study finds that in the case of limited vaccine supplies, an all-or-nothing approach is optimal. For certain situations, the conditions for the optimal effective reproduction number to be below 1 are determined. The optimal strategy for vaccine allocation depends on the vaccination rate and the age of the population.

Summary: Accurate and rapid diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection are crucial for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Point-of-care antigen and molecular tests can increase access to testing and expedite clinical and public health management decisions. Studies show that antigen tests have varying sensitivity, with higher accuracy in the first week of infection, and the efficacy of molecular tests depends on the specific brand used.

Exact solution of infection dynamics with gamma distribution of generation intervals

Alexei Vazquez

Summary: Infectious disease outbreaks are expected to grow exponentially over time, but their initial dynamics are less understood. Analytical expressions for the dynamics of infectious diseases with a gamma distribution of generation intervals have been derived, showing that outbreaks follow a power law at short times and exponential growth at long times. The growth rate is determined by the basic reproductive number and the parameters of the distribution of generation intervals. These analytical expressions can improve estimates of infectious disease parameters.
