Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor nor an epidemiologist. I’m just an applied mathematician. The sole aim of this new series is to provide a better understanding of (fairly simplified) epidemiological models to an audience as large as possible as well as illustrating some of the challenges a disease such as COVID-19 poses from a mathematical modeling point of view. Nothing more.
