Immunity after COVID-19: protection or sensitization ? 2020-05-23 .txt text/plain 4278 249 62 Then we use a compartmental epidemic model structured by immunity level (taken here as age classes) that we fit on available data; this allows to derive quantitative insights into the future number of severe cases and deaths. Note that in both cases the results depend on the total epidemic infection rate, which is between α t = 5.7% (present) and the group immunity rate 1 − 1/R 0 (i.e., 70% for R 0 = 3.3). Note first that the relatively controlled nature of the 2003 SARS epidemic did not allow us to draw conclusions on how the 2003 epidemic influenced the infected (too few cases); by contrast, if a sensitizing process in the immune response triggered by SARS-CoV-2 exists, the pandemic nature of the 2019/20 COVID-19 outbreak will likely have noticeable effects on the overall population health state. ./cache/cord-315756-g6g34uvh.txt ./txt/cord-315756-g6g34uvh.txt
