TL;DR: A heuristic method for addressing potential biases that can arise from not accounting for changes in serial intervals across cohorts is provided and applied to estimating R for the COVID-19 outbreak in China using serial-interval data --- the analysis shows that using incorrectly defined serial intervals can severely bias estimates.

Transmission dynamics are crucial to COVID-19 vaccination policy.
TL;DR: Goldstein et al. as mentioned in this paper provided a useful and timely analysis of the value of protecting older people from infection and showed that the expected number of life years saved by focusing protection on old people is more than commonly supposed.

The Impact of the Allee Effect in Dispersal and Patch-Occupancy Age on the Dynamics of Metapopulations
TL;DR: A Levins-type metapopulation model with empty and occupied patches, and dispersing population is introduced, which structure the proportion of occupied patches according to the patch-occupancy age and shows that the metAPopulation will persist independently of its initial status if R > 1.
