China’s population still growing, census shows but barely
May. 11, 2021 , 5:15 PM
Ending months of speculation about what its 2020 census would find, China reported today that preliminary data show its population is still growing. But major demographic challenges loom. China’s population will start to shrink in the next few years, the trends suggest, meaning fewer and fewer people in their working prime will have to support a rapidly growing cadre of elderly. That has triggered discussions about how to increase the country’s birth rate, which is far below the replacement level.
A new model has proved successful in predicting COVID-19 infection rates two to three weeks in advance, researchers report.
The new model could help public health officials and other organizations get accurate, reliable short-term projections of daily COVID-19 cases.
The researchers used a method based on the SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered states) framework to project COVID-19 incidence in the upcoming two to three weeks based on observed incidence cases only.
The model assumes a constant or small change in the transmission rate of the virus that causes COVID-19 over a short period.
The model uses publicly available data on new reported cases of COVID-19 in Texas from the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The researchers used this data on disease incidence for Texas and a selection of counties that included the Texas A&M campus to estimate the COVID-19 transmission rate.
