?:abstract
  • A semiempirical model, based in the logistic map, was developed to forecast the different phases of the COVID-19 epidemic This paper shows the mathematical model and a proposal for its calibration Specific results are shown for Spain Four phases were considered: non-controlled evolution;total lock-down;partial easing of the lock-down;and a phased lock-down easing For no control the model predicted the infection of a 25% of the Spanish population, 1 million would need intensive care and 700,000 direct deaths For total lock-down the model predicted 194,000 symptomatic infected, 85,700 hospitalized, 8600 patients needing an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and 19,500 deaths The peak was predicted between the 29 March/3 April For the third phase, with a daily rate r=1 03, the model predicted 400,000 infections and 46,000±15,000 deaths The real r was below 1%, and a revision with updated parameters provided a prediction of 250,000 infected and 29,000±15,000 deaths The reported values by the end of May were 282,870 infected and 28,552 deaths After easing of the lock-down the model predicted that the health system would not saturate if r was kept below 1 02 This model provided good accuracy during epidemics development
