Heterogeneity is essential for contact tracing

2020-06-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> (Dated: June 5, 2020) The COVID-19 pandemic is most often modelled by well-mixed models, sometimes stratified by age and work. People are, however, different from one another in terms of interaction frequency as well as in formation of social groups. This contact heterogeneity especially challenges models of contact tracing (CT), but also predictions of epidemic severity generally. We explore h...
