Two-Age-Structured COVID-19 Epidemic Model: Estimation of Virulence Parameters through New Data Incorporation
Cristiano Maria Verrelli,

Abstract:The COVID-19 epidemic has required countries to implement different containment strategies to limit its spread, like strict or weakened national lockdown rules and the application of age-stratified vaccine prioritization strategies. These interventions have in turn modified the age-dependent patterns of social contacts. In our recent paper, starting from the available age-structured real data at the national level, we identified, for the Italian case, specific virulence parameters for a two-age-structured COVI… Show more
“…Indeed, such papers can serve as a foundational resource for continuous updates as new data become available. This concept is successfully illustrated in [60], in which the same methodology used in [59] is applied to new data, showing how the significance of the principle governs the data itself.…”
