Epidemic Overdispersion Strengthens the Effectiveness of Mobility Restrictions

2021-01-26

Abstract excerpt

Human mobility is the fuel of global pandemics. In this simulation study, we analyze how mobility restrictions mitigate epidemic processes and how this mitigation is influenced by the epidemic’s degree of dispersion. We find that (even imperfect) mobility restrictions are generally efficient in mitigating epidemic spreading. Notably, the effectiveness strongly depends on the dispersion of the offspring distributio...
