Can we Contain Covid-19 without Locking-down the Economy?

Mar 31, 2020 - 1:00 pm
Venue:  Zoom Webinar - registration Required Speaker/s:  Profs. Amnon Shashua and Shai Shalev-Shwartz, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Registration is required, please see details below.

Abstract: We present an analysis of a risk-based selective quarantine model where the population is divided into low and high-risk groups. The high-risk group is quarantined until the low-risk group achieves herd-immunity. We tackle the question of whether this model is safe, in the sense that the health system can contain the number of low-risk people that require severe ICU care (such as life support systems).
