A visual inspection of the air-transportation system depicted in Fig. 19 .1 is sufficiently convincing that the significant fraction of long-range connections in global mobility will not only increase the speed at which infectious diseases spread but, more importantly, also cause the patterns of spread to exhibit high spatial incoherence and complexity caused by the intricate connectivity of the air-transportation network. Figure 19 .7 shows that also the model epidemic depicts only a weak correlation between geographic distance to the outbreak location and arrival time. ./cache/cord-016965-z7a6eoyo.txt ./txt/cord-016965-z7a6eoyo.txt
