OO also generates data to inform epidemiological models and prevent future outbreaks. Before SARS-CoV-2 was reported, we repeatedly simulated a virus with similar features, correctly predicting many human behaviors later observed during the pandemic.en-USpathogensvirusesoutbreakspandemic responseOperation Outbreaksimulationeducationepidemiological modelspredictionSARS-CoV-2COVID-19BioinformaticsComputer SciencesEpidemiologyHealth Information TechnologyImmunology and Infectious DiseaseInfectious DiseaseMedical EducationPathogenic MicrobiologyPublic Health Education and PromotionVirus DiseasesJournal Articlehttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/covid19/11219505253covid19/112
