摘要翻译:
我们使用来自伦巴第的每日数据,伦巴第是意大利受新冠肺炎疫情影响最大的地区,在每个城市分别校准SIR模型。这些都由同一个卫生系统覆盖,在我们关注的封锁后阶段,都受到同样的社交距离规定的约束。我们发现,在所分析的时期开始时,病例数较多的城市的扩散率较低,这不能归咎于群体免疫。特别是,估计的基本繁殖数($R_0$)与初始爆发规模之间存在稳健且非常显著的负相关,而$R_0$作为爆发规模的预测器的作用则相反。我们探索了对这一现象的不同可能解释,并得出结论,更多的病例会导致行为的改变,如在人群中更严格地采取社交距离措施,从而减少传播。这一结果要求透明、实时地分发详细的流行病学数据,因为这些数据影响到受疫情影响地区人口的行为。

英文摘要:
We use daily data from Lombardy, the Italian region most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, to calibrate a SIR model individually on each municipality. These are all covered by the same health system and, in the post-lockdown phase we focus on, all subject to the same social distancing regulations. We find that municipalities with a higher number of cases at the beginning of the period analyzed have a lower rate of diffusion, which cannot be imputed to herd immunity. In particular, there is a robust and strongly significant negative correlation between the estimated basic reproduction number ($R_0$) and the initial outbreak size, in contrast with the role of $R_0$ as a \emph{predictor} of outbreak size. We explore different possible explanations for this phenomenon and conclude that a higher number of cases causes changes of behavior, such as a more strict adoption of social distancing measures among the population, that reduce the spread. This result calls for a transparent, real-time distribution of detailed epidemiological data, as such data affects the behavior of populations in areas affected by the outbreak.
