MMV - Mathematics of movement: an interdisciplinary approach to mutual challenges in animal ecology and cell biology

This work combined machine learning and agent-based modelling to explore various trade-offs between health effects of pandemic interventions and the incurred economic costs. In particular, it was shown that a socially acceptable balance between health effects and incurred economic costs is achievable over a long term, despite possible early setbacks. Informally, this study demonstrated the choice between ‘health’ and ‘economy’ is a false choice.   Reference:
