Forecasting life expectancy in São Paulo City, Brazil, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by Maria L. Miranda, Cassio M. Turra, Ugofilippo Basellini

“…To mitigate the dependency on the fitting period's choice and better incorporate the effects of the recent mortality shock, we used different baseline periods, using all years from 1920 to 1995 as the starting year of the analysis and six scenarios for post-pandemic mortality levels. Prediction intervals were derived from simulated trajectories of the models' time indices. …”

Using COVID-19 pandemic perturbation to model RSV-hMPV interactions and potential implications under RSV interventions by Emily Howerton, Thomas C. Williams, Jean-Sébastien Casalegno, Samuel Dominguez, Rory Gunson, Kevin Messacar, C. Jessica E. Metcalf, Sang Woo Park, Cécile Viboud, Bryan T. Grenfell

“…Using a two-pathogen transmission model, we show that a negative effect of RSV infection on hMPV transmissibility can explain these dynamics. We use post-pandemic RSV-hMPV rebound dynamics as an out of sample test for our model, and the model with interactions better predicts this period than a model where the pathogens are assumed to be independent. …”
