Age-dependent effects in the transmission and control of COVID-19 epidemics.

TL;DR: It is found that interventions aimed at children might have a relatively small impact on reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, particularly if the transmissibility of subclinical infections is low.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national estimates of the population at increased risk of severe COVID-19 due to underlying health conditions in 2020: a modelling study.

TL;DR: These estimates provide a starting point for considering the number of individuals that might need to be shielded or vaccinated as the global pandemic unfolds, and focus on underlying conditions rather than other risk factors such as ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
