Hardness of Herd Immunity and Success Probability of Quarantine Measures: A Branching Process Approach

2020-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Herd immunity refers to the collective resistance of a population against the spreading of an infection as an epidemic. Understanding the dependencies of herd immunity on various epidemiological parameters is of immense importance for strategizing control measures against an infection in a population. Using an age-dependent branching process model of infection propagation, we obtain interesting functional dependen...
