The widespread, and in many countries unprecedented, use of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted need for mathematical models which can estimate impact these measures while accounting highly heterogeneous risk profile COVID-19. Models either age structure or household necessary to explicitly model NPIs are commonly used infectious disease modelling, but incorporating both levels present substantial computational challenges due their high...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had high mortality rates in the elderly and frail worldwide, particularly care homes. This is driven by difficulty of isolating homes from wider community, large population sizes within facilities (relative to typical households), age/frailty residents. To quantify risk posed disease, case fatality (CFR) an important tool. quantifies proportion cases that result death. Throughout pandemic, CFR amongst home residents England been monitored closely. estimate CFR, we...
