Title: The Day after COVID-19 Lockdown
Abstract: Given the latest statistics, we predict that with a proper differential social distancing placing different guidelines on the low-risk group compared to the high-risk group one could maintain a working economy without quarantine and save a factor of 5 on mortality while not flooding the health system. The talk will highlight some of the computational tools used to reach these conclusions.
