Understanding How Infectious Diseases Spread – Technology Networks
Physicists have used a new model to demonstrate how infection rates decrease through the implementation of social distancing. These models often serve as a basis…
Scientists worldwide have been working flat out on research into infectious diseases in the wake of the global outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This concerns not only virologists, but also physicists, who are developing mathematical models to describe the spread of epidemics. Such models are important for testing the effects of various measures designed to contain the disease such as face masks, closing public buildings and businesses, and the familiar…
