Second wave can be caused by...

  • Changes in human behaviour
  • Seasonal effects
  • Lifting of interventions
  • Reinfections

Aim of the study:

Qualitative understanding of temporary immunity and permanent interventions on long-term presence of a virus

Modeling Permanent Interventions

Compartmental models vs. Agent-based modeling

  • Well-mixedness vs. geometry
    • Especially under travel restrictions
  • Homogeneity vs. superspreaders

Social dist.

Travel restrictions

No interv.

No hubs

Modify network to model/compare interventions

Travel restrictions are very effective

  • Grid-like structure prevents exponential growth, lower first and second peaks

 

 + The epidemic does not survive for short

     immunity duration under interventions

 

  -  Surprise: Interventions can cause a high

     second peak

shorter immune duration

longer immune duration
