Allometric model shows human travel is closely related to spread of COVID-19
Allometric model shows human travel is closely related to spread of COVID-19 A new study, released on the medRxiv* preprint server, indicates that the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is governed by power-law dynamics, suggesting that alternative modeling approaches need to be used to understand and predict its propagation. Earlier models based on exponential growth Most conventional modeling approaches to the transmission of COVID-19’s causative pathogen – severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – assume that its spread follows an exponential patt...
