Network member Flavio Toxvaerd with coauthors consider, in a new working paper, the optimal social distancing policy in an SEIRS model of the COVID-19 epidemic in which immunity wanes over time.

Statistics are often registered with delay and Swedish COVID-19 deaths are reported with up to 14 days of lag. Death statistics therefore always appear to be on a positive trend. In a new paper, SSE-CERN member Adam Altmejd together with Joacim Rocklöv, and Jonas Wallin propose a statistical method to estimate the actual number of deaths.

Early reports suggest the fatality rate from COVID-19 varies greatly across countries, but non-random testing and incomplete vital registration systems render it impossible to directly estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR) in many low- and middle-income countries. A new study tries to fill this gap.
