A Primer on COVID-19 Mathematical Models.

TL;DR: COVID‐19 symptoms and mortality are disproportionately more severe in people with obesity and obesity related comorbidities, of concern for the United States, where ~42% have obesity and of these, 85% have type 2 diabetes.

Thymic Aging May Be Associated with COVID-19 Pathophysiology in the Elderly

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the thymus and T cells in COVID-19 immunity during aging (a synergistic effect of diminished responses to pathogens and enhanced responses to self) impacting age-related clinical severity of CoV-19 was investigated.

Mathematical Perspective of Covid-19 Pandemic: Disease Extinction Criteria in Deterministic and Stochastic Models.

TL;DR: A deterministic epidemic model of four compartments classified based on the health status of the populations of a given country to capture the disease progression is considered and it is proved that the infected population of the stochastic system tends to zero exponentially almost surely if the basic reproduction number is less than unity.
