Population heterogeneity is a critical factor of the kinetics of the COVID-19 epidemics 2020-06-26 .txt text/plain 3365 211 51 The lockdown presented in pane c (starts in day 39) is optimal for the more heterogeneous population that experiences, with the optimal lockdown timing, no second wave (and the total number infected is minimal at 4.9 percent). That lockdown, however, is yet too early for the less heterogeneous population where a moderate second epidemic wave develops and leads to a total of 15.8 percent infected (a substantially higher cost as compared to the minimal cost of 11 percent associated with the lockdown starting in day 44). Heterogeneous scenarios show much lower long-term costs of the epidemics and peak levels of the infected as compared to the traditional homogeneous case. With optimal lockdown strategy, the total number of infected people may be reduced to as low as five percent in the heterogeneous population. ./cache/cord-263248-8y1u0h6y.txt ./txt/cord-263248-8y1u0h6y.txt
