Social distancing and epidemic resurgence in agent-based Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered models 2020-06-03 .txt text/plain 4746 246 48 To determine the robustness of our results and compare the influence of different contact characteristics, we ran our stochastic model on four distinct spatially structured architectures, namely i) regular two-dimensional square lattices, wherein individuals move slowly and with limited range, i.e., spread diffusively; ii) two-dimensional small-world networks that in addition incorporate substantial long-distance interactions and contaminations; and finally on iii) random as well as iv) scale-free social contact networks. For both the two-dimensional regular lattice and small-world structure, a similar sudden drop in the total number of infected individuals ( Figure 6B ) requires a considerably longer mitigation duration: In these dynamical networks, the repopulation of nodes with infective individuals facilitates disease spreading, thereby diminishing control efficacy. In this study, we implemented social distancing control measures for simple stochastic SIR epidemic models on regular square lattices with diffusive spreading, two-dimensional Newman-Watts small-world networks that include highly infective long-distance connections, and static contact networks, either with random connectivity or scale-free topology. ./cache/cord-220116-6i7kg4mj.txt ./txt/cord-220116-6i7kg4mj.txt
