Just a pointer to a further post on COVID-19 simulation that I wrote for the R-Views blog.
This post is just a pointer to another post on the R Views blog that I wrote on the use of simulations to explore the efects of various interventions on COVID-19 spread. It contains a few more simulation experiments on lock-downs, with some interesting results, explained in the post.
Note that the post on R Views contains a minor error of nomenclature (a “thinko” on my part, caused by too much coding…): The Q compartment is referred to a (self)-quarantine, when it should be (self-)isolation. The results and conclusions are unaffected.
