论文摘要
Covid-19不是普遍的杀手。我们研究了Covid-19在美国的县一级的传播，直到2020年8月的15 $^{{Th} $。我们表明，疾病的患病率和死亡率与当地社会经济状况相关，通常超出了当地人口量的分布，尤其是在农村地区。我们将Covid-19的患病率和死亡率与美国人口普查局的数据相关联，并指出该疾病的扩散模式如何分别显示城市和农村地区的不对称性，并优先影响大量人口不属于非白人的县。我们的发现可用于更有针对性的政策制定和资源部署，以使未来由于SARS-COV-2而发生大流行。我们的方法基于可解释的机器学习和游戏理论，可以扩展以研究其他疾病的传播。
COVID-19 is not a universal killer. We study the spread of COVID-19 at the county level for the United States up until the 15$^{th}$ of August, 2020. We show that the prevalence of the disease and the death rate are correlated with the local socio-economic conditions often going beyond local population density distributions, especially in rural areas. We correlate the COVID-19 prevalence and death rate with data from the US Census Bureau and point out how the spreading patterns of the disease show asymmetries in urban and rural areas separately and are preferentially affecting the counties where a large fraction of the population is non-white. Our findings can be used for more targeted policy building and deployment of resources for future occurrence of a pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2. Our methodology, based on interpretable machine learning and game theory, can be extended to study the spread of other diseases.
