Reviews

The book is written for students, researchers, and other stakeholders in the COVID-19 pandemic with an interest in epidemiology and public health decision-making. ... The authors wrote this book to provide a comprehensive reference on predictive modeling and decision support during the unfolding COVID-19 Crisis. The timeliness of such a reference is valuable for public health stakeholders. (Douglas David Gunzler, Doody's Book Reviews, August 20, 2021)
