Pandemic Information & Pandemic Process:A Model for Computational Experiment
This research used an agent-based model(ABM)to create a simulation system called MAP(Media and Pandemic)to explore how epidemic information influences the trajectory of an epidemic under various system conditions.The study found that even without other interventions,epidemic information alone can impact the course of the epidemic.The interplay between epidemic information and interventions like resource supply and lockdowns significantly impacts epidemic control,especially when resources are plentiful and lockdowns are moderate.However,the effectiveness of epidemic information is contingent upon the virus'characteristics and doesn't always guarantee better control.In conclusion,optimizing epidemic control requires a balanced approach:disseminating epidemic information appropriately,coupled with effective resource allocation and well-calibrated lockdown measures.This study provides a novel framework for examining the impact of epidemic information and enhances our understanding of its influence.
