Intermittent social distancing strategy for epidemic control
We study the critical effect of an intermittent social distancing strategy on the propagation of epidemics in adaptive complex networks. We characterize the effect of our strategy in the framework of the susceptible-infected-recovered model. In our model, based on local information, a susceptible individual interrupts the contact with an infected individual with a probability σ and restores it ...
متن کاملGame Theory of Social Distancing in Response to an Epidemic
Social distancing practices are changes in behavior that prevent disease transmission by reducing contact rates between susceptible individuals and infected individuals who may transmit the disease. Social distancing practices can reduce the severity of an epidemic, but the benefits of social distancing depend on the extent to which it is used by individuals. Individuals are sometimes reluctant...
متن کاملOptimal Control of an Epidemic through Educational Campaigns
In this work we study the best strategy for educational campaigns during the outbreak of an epidemic. Assuming that the epidemic is described by the simplified SIR model and that the total time of the campaign is limited due to budget, we consider two possible scenarios. In the first scenario we have a campaign oriented to decrease the infection rate by stimulating susceptibles to have a protec...
متن کاملFaster diagnosis prevents apathy in social-distancing epidemic games
Within the epidemic game literature, there is an inconsistency over whether increases in infection risk can discourage prevention practices. In one theory, investments in social distancing and prophylaxis increase monotonely with infection pressure, while in another, there is a turning-point beyond which investments drop off. To-date, the reasons for this difference have been unclear. This arti...
