COVID CRISIS LAB Seminar Series 2022 — Fall edition

Nicola Perra, "Modelling the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic at different spatio-temporal scales"

ABSTRACT

In the talk, I will provide an overview of different approaches I have applied to model the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects. In doing so, I will discuss the insights obtained by studying the initial phases of the pandemic, the first wave, and the vaccine rollout in the USA, Europe as well as Latin America. I will also discuss the key role of non-pharmaceutical interventions.
