The first two networks are created to capture the diffusion of the COVID-19 virus in the entire population, via an SIR simulated model (SIRsim) and an observed model based on reported data about infected (I), and removed (R) cases (SIRemp). The third network is constructed from information cascades on Twitter (we call this INFOcas), where infected (I) are tweets that interacted with the original tweets about COVID-19 by either retweeting, quoting, or replying, and removed (R) include tweets that are no longer interacted with for a defined period. ./cache/cord-349898-nvi8h77t.txt ./txt/cord-349898-nvi8h77t.txt
