![]() | Managing the COVID-19 Pandemic across Geography and Demography Speaker(s): Niayesh Afshordi
Abstract: What factors drive the growth and decay of a pandemic? Can a study of community differences (in demographics, settlement, mobility, weather, and epidemic history) allow these factors to be identified? Has “herd immunity” to COVID-19 been reached anywhere? What are the best steps to manage/avoid ... read more
