Relations of parameters for describing the epidemic of COVID―19 by the Kermack―McKendrick model

2020-03-03

Abstract excerpt

In order to quantitatively characterize the epidemic of COVID-19, useful relations among parameters describing an epidemic in general are derived based on the Kermack–McKendrick model. The first relation is 1/ τ grow = 1/ τ trans − 1/ τ inf , where τ grow is the time constant of the exponential growth of an epidemic, τ trans is the time for a pathogen to be transmitted from one patient to uninfected person, and th...
