To test or not to test? A new behavioral epidemiology framework for COVID-19

2022-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Recent clinical research finds that rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is facilitated by substantial undocumented asymptomatic infections. Asymptomatic infections have implications for behavioral response to voluntary testing. The paper argues that a substantial proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections are hidden due to rational test avoidance behavior, especially among those without perceptible disease symptoms. However...
