Mathematical models for epidemics (including Covid-19) - Seminar

Tom Britton, från Stockholms universitet:
-  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.
