Challenges in specifying parameter values for COVID-19 simulation models

2022-09-21

Abstract excerpt

A recent modelling paper on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in the US (Bartsch et al. ) suggested that maintaining face mask use until a high vaccine coverage (70–90%) is achieved is generally cost-effective or even cost-saving in many of the scenarios considered. Their conclusion was based on the assumed effectiveness of continued face mask use, cited from a study that reported an 18% reduction...
