A model for the SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in a population lacking herd immunity

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

We introduced the S-HI model, a generalized SEIR model to describe the dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a community without herd immunity and performed simulations for six months. The S- HI model consists of eight equations corresponding to susceptible individuals, exposed, asymptomatic infected, asymptomatic recovered, symptomatic infected, quarantined, symptomatic recovered and dead. We study the dynamics of the infected, asymptomatic. Dead classes in 4 different networks: households, workplaces, agglomeration places and the general community, showing that the dynamics of the three compartments have the exact nature in each layer and that the speed of the disease considerably increases in the networks with the highest weight of contacts. The reproduction number, R0, is greater than 1 in all networks conforming to the theory. The variants of the SARS-Cov-2 virus are not taken into account, so the S-HI model would fit a situation similar to the first wave of contagion after the mandatory lockdown. Keywords: SARS-Cov-2, mathematical models, SEIR, data-driven networks, simulations, basic reproduction number, lack of herd immunity.
