Abstract

Many simple models of disease spread assume a homogeneous population (or population groups) with a uniform basic reproduction number ($R_0$). The goal here is to develop and analyze an agent-based model of disease that models: (1) variability of interaction rates between agents; and (2) the structure of the in-person contact network.

Keywords: epidemiology; COVID-19; agent-based modeling; network models
