The SIR differential equations in Epidemiology are re-examined in the context of Covid19, 2020. The number of recovered cases is calibrated in time. Methods for estimating all pertinent parameters are described. A notion of implied susceptible population size ISPS is introduced, as the potential target population size for which the solution to the SIR equations would yield the current number of new affected cases. Analysis is applied to the Covid19 2020 data of a number of countries, as reported by the Johns Hopkins University data repository.

Matching journals

The top 9 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
