Quantifying Household Transmission Dynamics for Epidemic Control: COVID-19 and Beyond
Offered By: Centre de recherches mathématiques - CRM via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the critical role of household transmission in infectious disease spread and epidemic control through this Distinguished Lecture in Applied Mathematics. Delve into mathematical models incorporating household transmission networks, with a focus on COVID-19 examples. Examine how household transmission impacts the effectiveness of large-scale social distancing measures and how household composition influences infection risk. Investigate the intersection of housing policy and epidemic control, including an evaluation of the CDC's 2020 eviction moratorium. Learn about a new mathematical framework for quantifying inter-individual variation in infectiousness and susceptibility using household outbreak dynamics, and understand their significance in determining population-level transmission patterns.
