Using a stochastic, agent-based model, the course of infection since the first occurrence of a Covid-19 infection is simulated for various countries, taking into account the new, more infectious mutant and the vaccinations. The simulation shows that the course of infection for the United Kingdom (UK) and Israel is surprisingly good. For the other countries, an end date for the infection can be predicted based on the course of the simulation. For Germany, the course is calculated in a second scenario, assuming a higher vaccination rate.

"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.
