• Authors: Patrick Urrutia and David Wren and Chrysafis Vogiatzis and Ruriko Yoshida
• Abstract summary: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission has been increasing amongst the world's population at an alarming rate. By analyzing the United States' county network structure, one can model and interdict potential higher infection areas. We collect coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), deaths from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and a network adjacency structure from the United States Census Bureau.

• Abstract: During 2020 and 2021, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission has been increasing amongst the world's population at an alarming rate. Reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other diseases that are spread in similar manners is paramount for public health officials as they seek to effectively manage resources and potential population control measures such as social distancing and quarantines. By analyzing the United States' county network structure, one can model and interdict potential higher infection areas. County officials can provide targeted information, preparedness training, as well as increase testing in these areas. While these approaches may provide adequate countermeasures for localized areas, they are inadequate for the holistic United States. We solve this problem by collecting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections and deaths from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and a network adjacency structure from the United States Census Bureau. Generalized network autoregressive (GNAR) time series models have been proposed as an efficient learning algorithm for networked datasets. This work fuses network science and operations research techniques to univariately model COVID-19 cases, deaths, and current survivors across the United States' county network structure.

  coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been ongoing for around 3 years. Several strategies for controlling the spread of the disease have been debated by healthcare professionals. To anticipate the potential impact of the disease, and to simulate the effectiveness of different mitigation strategies, a robust model of disease spread is needed.

  Many countries have mandated social distancing and banned large group gatherings in order to slow down the spread of SARS-CoV-2. These social interventions along with vaccines remain the best way forward to reduce the spread of SARS CoV-2. In order to increase vaccine accessibility, states such as Virginia have deployed mobile vaccination centers to distribute vaccines across the state.

  COVID-19 has been transmitted to more than 42 million people and resulted in more than 673,000 deaths across the United States. Public health authorities have monitored the results of diagnostic testing to identify hotspots of transmission. Most current schemes of test site allocation have been based on experience or convenience.

  The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world. We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research. Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.

  The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a pandemic. The current testing regime based on Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction for SARS-CoV-2 has been unable to keep up with testing demands. We propose a framework called CovidDeep that combines efficient DNNs with commercially available WMSs for pervasive testing of the virus.

A growing number of areas reporting local sub-national community transmission would represent a significant turn for the worse in the battle against the novel coronavirus. We propose and develop an AI-driven system (named $alpha$-Satellite, as an initial offering) to provide hierarchical community-level risk assessment.
