  A COVID-19 Transmission Model Informing Medication Development and Supply Chain Needs
  Author(s): Annabelle Lemenuel-Diot*, Barry Clinch, Aeron C. Hurt, Paul Boutry, Johann Laurent, Mathias Leddin, Stefan Frings and Jean Eric Charoin
  
  Objective: We present a country-specific, modified Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, and Removed (SEIR) model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission aiming to provide accurate prediction of COVID-19 cases to optimize clinical trial recruitment, inform mitigation strategies, and facilitate rapid medication development. Methods: Epidemiological data from more than 170 countries were obtained from the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Dashboard. Intercountry differences in initial exposure, cultural/environmental factors, and stringency of mitigation strategies were incorporated. Asymptomatic patients and “super-spreaders” were also factored into our model. Simulations were limited to a period of 2 months considering that the effects of certain parameters (e.g. seasonality of virus transmission, wearing of face masks, and deploy.. View more»
