Population mobility and aging at local areas contributed to the geospatial disparities in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission among 418 counties in the Deep South. In predicting the incidence of COVID-19, a significant interaction was found between mobility and the proportion of older adults. Effective disease control measures should be tailored to vulnerable communities.
人口流动和老龄化导致了美国南部 418 个县的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)传播的地理空间差异。在预测 COVID-19 的发病率时,发现流动性和老年人比例之间存在显著的相互作用。应针对弱势社区制定有效的疾病控制措施。
