The fallacy of herd immunity
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez
Here we show that herd immunity is not a measure we can implement, trust, control or depend on, and that waiting for herd immunity to play a role is tantamount to hope for the best…
A simple and intuitive method to calculate in complex epidemic models
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez, Osval Montesinos Lopez
Epidemic models are a valuable tool in the decision making process. Once a mathematical model for an epidemics has been established, the very next step is calculating a mathematica…
The Poisson algorithm: a simple method to simulate stochastic epidemic models with generally distributed residence times
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez, Osval Montsinos Lopez, Ramon Solano-Barajas
Epidemic models are used to analyze the progression or outcome of an epidemic under different control policies like vaccinations, quarantines, lockdowns, use of face-masks, pharmac…
Mean and variance of first passage time in Markov chains with unknown parameters
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez
There are known expressions to calculate the moments of the first passage time in Markov chains. Nevertheless, it is commonly forgotten that in most applications the parameters of…
