All over the world, epidemiologists have tried to understand the dynamics of COVID-19. A study from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, may offer a different perspective to modelling COVID-19 dynamics.
Since December 2019, several waves of COVID-19 have washed over populations across the world, in different countries. It is important to understand their dynamics, so that governments can plan mitigation strategies at every level. With this aim in mind, researchers study disease dynamics models, many of which build on the idea that the growth of infections is exponential in nature. An example of exponential growth is the series 2, 4, 8, 16… which doubles at constant rate.
