Our epidemic renormalisation group (eRG) approach is based * g.cacciapaglia@ipnl.in2p3.fr † sannino@cp3.sdu.dk upon a simpler set of equations, which can be extended in a straightforward way to include interactions between multiple regions of the world, without the need for powerful numerical simulations. Thus, the dictionary between the eRG equation for the epidemic strength α and the high-energy physics analog is It has been shown in [3] that α captures the essential information about the infected population within a sufficiently isolated region of the world. To quantitatively estimate the interaction between two regions of the world, we consider benchmark values for the parameters in the two beta functions using the results given in [3] . ./cache/cord-211611-c9w6235b.txt ./txt/cord-211611-c9w6235b.txt
