While the entire planet seems to coexist with COVID without major problems at present, as
almost all the preventive measures have been lifted, there is increasing concern among …

As a common strategy of contagious disease containment, lockdowns will inevitably weaken
the economy. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic underscores the trade-off arising from …

Containment policies save lives but restrict economic activity. Standard approaches to
accounting for the value of human lives lend support to these policies despite their high …

We use a simple general model of interactive dynamics between the COVID-19 pandemic
and the economy to examine the impact of various non-pharmaceutical interventions in the …

We consider several epidemiological simulations of the COVID-19 pandemic using the
textbook SIR model and discuss the basic implications of these results for crafting an …

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has underlined the need for more coordinated responses
to emergent pathogens. These responses need to balance epidemic control in ways that …

A simple model of COVID-19 that incorporates feedback from disease prevalence to disease
transmission through an endogenous response of human behavior does a remarkable job …

In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model to study the epidemic and economic
consequences of COVID-19, with a focus on the interaction between the disease …

Motivated by COVID-19, we develop and analyze a simple stochastic model for the spread
of disease in human population. We track how the number of infected and critically ill people …

We present a dynamic model that produces day-to-day changes in key variables due to the
COVID-19 contagion: the number of ever infected people, currently infected, deaths, healed …
