Highlights
Leightner, Inoue, and Lafaye de Micheaux [1] are the first researchers to apply a variable slope estimation procedure to the spread of an infectious disease – Covid-19 [2]
Et al [1] data ended in March of 2021, but the data for this paper extends through October 9, 2021.This extension of the data is important because the Delta variant of Covid-19 hit North America after March of 2021, and the Delta variant is much more infectious
The noticeable declines in Covid-19 cases in early 2021 in all three countries corresponds to when vaccines were first available
Summary
Inoue, and Lafaye de Micheaux [1] are the first researchers to apply a variable slope estimation procedure to the spread of an infectious disease – Covid-19 [2]. They applied this technique to data from Brazil, Europe, South Africa, the United. The USA for early 2020 to the end of March 2021. They used weekly data on the number of “new” Covid-19 cases to estimate the change in “new” Covid-19 cases week due to one more “new” Covid-19 case this week. I deviate from what Leightner, et al [1] did by using the number of cases of
