Tim Van Wesemael, Luis E. C. Rocha, Tijs W. Alleman +1
Understanding how sentiment toward COVID-19 mitigation measures evolves on social media can inform both epidemiological models and public health policy. We analyzed 655,642 posts b…
Assessing the impact of forced and voluntary behavioral changes on economic-epidemiological co-dynamics: A comparative case study between Belgium and Sweden during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic
Tijs W. Alleman, Jan M. Baetens
During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments faced the challenge of managing population behavior to prevent their healthcare systems from collapsing. Sweden adopted a strategy centere…
Validating a dynamic input-output model for the propagation of supply and demand shocks during the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium
Tijs W. Alleman, Koen Schoors, Jan M. Baetens
This work validates a dynamic production network model, used to quantify the impact of economic shocks caused by COVID-19 in the UK, using data for Belgium. Because the model was p…
pySODM: Simulating and Optimizing Dynamical Models in Python 3
Tijs W. Alleman, Christian Stevens, Jan M. Baetens
In this work, we present our generic framework to construct, simulate, and calibrate dynamical systems in Python 3. Its goal is to reduce the time it takes to implement a dynamical…
A Stochastic Mobility-Driven Spatially Explicit SEIQRD COVID-19 Model with VOCs, Seasonality, and Vaccines
Tijs W. Alleman, Michiel Rollier, Jenna Vergeynst +1
In this work, we extend our previously developed compartmental SEIQRD model for SARS-CoV-2 in Belgium. We introduce SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, vaccines, and seasonality in our…
