"Mathematical models for epidemics"

Britton, Tom

In the talk I will first describe the basics for mathematical epidemic models, and indicate the many extensions that exist. Then I will briefly describe three problems I (and many others) have worked on during Covid-19: Herd immunity, Optimizing interventions in time and magnitude, and the significance of the generation time distribution and why it is hard to infer.
