ABSTRACT
An epidemic model is employed to examine the dynamics of infectious disease transmission. They make predictions about the rate at which an epidemic will spread, how severe the disease will be, and other factors. The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (is also known as SIR) model, is a straightforward epidemic model [1]. SIR models codify the most straightforward method to conceptualize an epidemic. The Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered model (known as SEIR) just expands on the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model by including a further equation of exposed individuals. Persons get contaminated but are not yet contagious throughout a long time of isolation for some serious contaminations. The person is in compartment E (for exposed) at this time[3]. The impact of social estrangement has been examined in the research. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
High transmissibility and lack of effective vaccine have made the control of disease spread a challenge, and eventually, they take the form of a pandemic. The uncontrollable spread of virus creates challenges not only for the social or health front but also on the global economy. This chapter discusses the social, health and economic difficulties due to pandemic. The claims are validated with reference to the present-day epidemic the COVID-19. Technology promises to make life easier. The role of technology in government coordinated efforts to the response and preparedness is discussed in the chapter. Forecasting the spread pattern helps in readiness to handle the severity. Undoubtedly the technological advancements have led several changes to the society leading to a comfortable lifestyle even during the challenging times. The discussion here outlines the role of these advancements during the time of the pandemic. As digital technology intervenes to control the disastrous effect on humankind, it simultaneously introduces several challenges that are highlighted in the chapter. © 2021 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
