6/7 Why are we excited? We believe our method helps bridge the gap between broad epidemic data & detailed local observations. It's a simple tool to monitor local awareness without privacy concerns, which could be invaluable for future pandemic responses. #GenomicEpidemiology #NetworkScience

5/7 And the most intriguing part? In the UK—where we had the richest genetic data—we saw a similar decrease in event containment during the Omicron BA.1 wave. Just like in the Hungarian survey.

Event Containment Scores computed biweekly with a 4-week sliding window in the UK for the Delta, Omicron BA.1
and BA.2 variants.

4/7 How robust is our Event Containment Score (ECS)? - Simulations confirm positive ECS strongly indicates local awareness behavior. - Our ECS scores correlated with policy stringency (Oxford CHI) in Europe during COVID-19. We think it's a solid proxy!

3/7 To measure how local awareness shaped epidemic dynamics, we developed a new method using mutation patterns in SARS-CoV-2 sequences. We identified superspreading events and introduced the Event Containment Score as a proxy.

(a) Bar plot showing the weekly number of SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequences collected in Belgium and (b) temporal evolution of seven identified collision clusters in Belgium.

2/7 Surprisingly, our Hungarian survey showed the lowest local response during the biggest COVID wave (Omicron BA.1). This made us wonder: Did the same pattern happen in other countries? And did it impact the epidemic dynamics?

The blue curve shows the mean willingness to engage in awareness behavior (in the survey, on a scale of 1-5), suggesting the lowest local response during the biggest COVID wave.

New paper alert! Check it out if you want to know more about the distinguishability of simple and complex contagion processes at the individual level! Great collaboration with @elsaandres @gregodor @iaciac.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
