Event Information:
COVID-19 spreads quickly, with different regions experiencing waves of infections at different times. While the initial waves reflected changes in social behaviour, the most recent waves in Canada and elsewhere were influenced by variants and vaccination. This talk introduces basic epidemic modelling and presents analyses of data from BC and around the world that show how variants and vaccination affected the past and will shape the future of the pandemic.
