During the COVID-19 pandemic, we endeavored to keep pace with understanding of biological phenomena that might affect SARS-CoV-2 transmission by modifying SEIR metapopulation models structured via age, location, or strain. With probabilities of infection on contact and initial conditions from a serial, cross-sectional survey of antibodies to nucleocapsid protein among commercial laboratory clients throughout the United States and all save one other parameter from the literature, our age- and location-structured model reproduced seroprevalence from this and another nationwide survey, of antibodies to spike as well as nucleocapsid protein among blood-donors, remarkably well.
Because fit parameters are conditional on model formulae and other parameter values, we recommend that mechanistic modelers base theirs on first principles, estimate them from accurate independent observations, or source them from the primary, not the modeling literature. In this talk, I will describe our descriptive model of seroprevalence by age and time and then our calculation, via first principles, of the age-specific forces of infection, attack rates and -- given information from a contact study -- probabilities of infection on contact. Because those parameters were not estimated by fitting our transmission model to any observations, others could use them too.
