Epidemiological models are indispensable tools for predicting, understanding, and mitigating the impact of infectious diseases. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at Lawrence ...

Understanding the mutation and evolution of viruses (such as SARS-CoV-2) is crucial for effective public health management and response. Traditional epidemiological models often assume that viral ...

Mathematical modeling—which combines math, statistics, computing and data—is a critical tool for public health professionals, who use it to study how diseases spread, predict the future course of ...

Inspired by tensions between health and financial well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new model could significantly improve predictions of how disease will spread by acknowledging the tradeoffs ...

That isn't at all how it is done. Yes, R0 at a given time tells us (well, people who actually understand what it means) something about the spread at that given time but R0 is a function of lots and ...

Picture thousands of undergraduate students unpacking their bags at an isolated Brown University campus free from outside contact amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this simplified scenario, a certain ...

As some researchers commented, modeling the trajectory of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is like chasing a moving target. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Berkeley Lab researchers will lead a three-year, $12 million effort to create a generalized exascale tool for epidemiological modeling Epidemiological models are indispensable tools for predicting, ...
