Assessing and managing the impact of large-scale epidemics considering only the individual risk and severity of the disease is exceedingly difficult and could be extremely expensive. Economic consequences, infrastructure and service disruption, as well as the recovery speed, are just a few of the many dimensions along which to quantify the effect of an epidemic on society’s fabric. Here, we extend the concept of resilience to characterize epidemics in structured populations, by defining the…

The theoretical results reveal that the intervention threshold depends on the human mobility network and the mobility rate, and it is shown that an intervention targeted to high-degree patches is more effective for epidemic control than a random intervention.

This paper tries to identify the main elements of the larger, possibly global, framework, supported by international standards, needed to deal with new (emerging) risks resulting from threats like Corona and assess the resilience of systems affected and suggests to use resilience indicators in this process.

It is found that even for λ2 < λc, epidemics eventually could bounce back if the control duration is below a threshold, and this critical control time for epidemic resilience, i.e., cdmax, seems to be predicted by the diameter of the underlying network, with the quantitative relation cdmax ∼ dα.
