We describe the use of VERA to develop a SIR model for the spread of COVID-19 and its relationship with healthcare capacity. We describe the use of VERA to develop a SIR model for the spread of COVID-19 and its relationship with healthcare capacity. The conceptual models in Figure 2 illustrate an interaction between social distancing and COVID-19 cases. Now that we have illustrated the core techniques in VERA, we describe the use of VERA develop the SIR model for understanding the relationship between social distancing and the spread of COVID-19. ./cache/cord-129272-p1jeiljo.txt ./txt/cord-129272-p1jeiljo.txt
