In this episode of the After the End podcast series, epidemiologist Lukas Engelmann from the University of Edinburgh asks ‘when can an epidemic be declared over?'
In this episode of the After the End podcast series, we hear from epidemiologist Lukas Engelmann from the University of Edinburgh on infectious disease modelling, and when and if an epidemic or pandemic can be said to be ‘over’.
We explore the shift from looking through the lens of epidemics at human history, to epidemic modelling creating scenarios of how the future might unfold and how this modelling introduces a very different way of thinking about time.
