Description Governments and academics use mathematical models to predict pandemic risk. The word 'pandemic' can be defined in several different ways. I have found that changing the definition of 'pandemic' used in such a model can affect the result in important ways.
Exploitation Route This can contribute to our understanding both of how to calculate pandemic risk, and how to communicate about this risk.
