Primes

• Tempo Mismatch
  • In disease surveillance a response cycle that lags epidemic doubling time applies containment to a population already past the stage it was designed for.

    This sourceSARS-CoV-2 spreads too fast for manual contact tracing to contain; control requires the tracing-and-isolation cycle to be faster than the epidemic's doubling time — a containment cycle lagging the doubling time applies measures to a population already past the targeted stage.
