Much media and societal attention is today focused on how to best control the spread of Covid-19. Every day brings us new data, and policymakers are implementing different strategies in different countries to manage the impact of Covid-19. To respond to the first wave of infection, several countries, including the UK, opted for isolation/lockdown i...

... of the effects of the rate constant, and the parameters defining the time variation of the step-down constant were explored to achieve the closest correspondence to the modelling results plotted for South Korea and China. The results, tabulated in Table 2, indicate that it is possible to scale the engineering model to reproduce WHO data. The fit of the South Korean data is more promising than the one on the Chinese data, as shown by the data in Table 2. ...

... results, tabulated in Table 2, indicate that it is possible to scale the engineering model to reproduce WHO data. The fit of the South Korean data is more promising than the one on the Chinese data, as shown by the data in Table 2. While the presentation of the data as shown in Figure 3 is useful in identifying the departure from the initial exponential growth, the presentation of the data in linear form enables a better comparison of WHO data to the model. ...
