Comparing the Spread, Mortality, and Response to Vaccination of Past and Future SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Explore a comprehensive analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants in this 46-minute colloquium talk from the Fields Institute's Colloquium on Mathematics for Public Health. Delve into Russell Milne's research from the University of Alberta as he compares the spread, mortality rates, and vaccination responses of both past and potential future variants. Gain insights into the mathematical modeling techniques used to understand the behavior of different SARS-CoV-2 strains and their impact on public health strategies. Learn how these comparisons can inform future pandemic preparedness and vaccine development efforts.
