Social contacts and the spread of infectious diseases	2020-09-02		.txt	text/plain	8658	301	47	key: cord-121428-79wyxedn authors: Dimarco, G.; Perthame, B.; Toscani, G.; Zanella, M. title: Social contacts and the spread of infectious diseases date: 2020-09-02 journal: nan DOI: nan sha: doc_id: 121428 cord_uid: 79wyxedn Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we introduce a mathematical description of the impact of sociality in the spread of infectious diseases by integrating an epidemiological dynamic with a kinetic modeling of population-based contacts. The kinetic description leads to study the evolution over time of Boltzmann type equations describing the number densities of social contacts of susceptible, infected and recovered individuals, whose proportions are driven by a classical compartmental model in epidemiology.	cache/cord-121428-79wyxedn.txt	txt/cord-121428-79wyxedn.txt
