Modelling an epidemic III: Effects of vaccination
In this third post focused on how an epidemic can be modelled (the previous posts can be seen here and here) we will show two possible models to describe the dynamics of the epidemic when […]

Modelling an epidemic II: the effect of population behaviour
Introduction This article is a continuation of a previous post in which we studied the evolution of an epidemic using a very simple toy model (for more details as well as a general discussion on […]
Modelling an epidemic I: Confinements
Introduction Throughout the time we have been living with covid-19, we have learned a lot about the disease, and we have even been able to design vaccines in record time thanks to unprecedented international collaboration. […]
Second and third waves of COVID-19 in Andalusia: findings from mathematical models
In this post I will analyse some aspects arising from the analysis of the evolution of COVID-19 using epidemiological models. Specifically, I will focus on the second and third waves of the disease in Andalusia […]
How mathematics can help us understand the second COVID-19 wave in Andalusia
As usual since March, most of us have been concerned about the development of COVID-19. After a pause of a couple of months in which the pandemic seemed to take a short break thanks to […]
Age does matter, but let’s pretend it doesn’t…
