COVID-19 Functions


In the following, “f” means “function of”

pandemic = f(herd immunity, number of herds)

herd immunity = f(infection rate, mortality rate, vaccination rate, vaccination efficacy)

infection rate = f(testing coverage, transmissibility, quarantine efficacy, mitigation actions)

mitigation actions = f(social distancing, protective gear, cleaning protocols)

mortality rate = f(infection rate, treatment efficacy, susceptibility profiles)

treatment efficacy = f(research science, validation testing, production delays, logistics)

quarantine efficacy = f(disease duration, isolation rules/duration, enforcement)
