Föreläsare: Tom Britton, Stockholm University

Plats: Zoom, email organisers

Abstract

We analyse a simple mathematical model for the spread of covid-19 which allows for heterogeneities with respect to age, social activity, susceptibility and infectivity. In the talk we investigate the minimal effect of preventive measures needed to avoid a new epidemic wave of Covid-19. In particular we investigate how it depends on the initial basic reproduction number R0R0 and the current immunity level î i^. Joint work with Frank Ball and Pieter Trapman.
