Description
5.5 KB of prior parameters used for fitting a state-space model analyzing SARS-CoV-2 spread. The dataset, authored by Felix Günther and last updated in May 2026, contains data on Google community mobility, hospitalizations, vaccinations, temperature, and virus strains. It was applied regionally in Sweden and Norway over 17 months and in Berlin and Bavaria, Germany, over 10 months.
Use Cases
Calibrating epidemiological models based on Google mobility reports and hospitalization data mentioned in the description
Assessing the relative impact of different social settings (e.g., public transport, retail) on infection rates as described in the analysis
Investigating seasonal effects on transmission potential using the described temperature data
Comparing regional pandemic responses and outcomes across Sweden, Norway, and Germany as outlined in the study
Strengths
Data integrates multiple sources: Google mobility reports, hospitalizations, vaccinations, temperature, and virus strain information as described
Covers a defined multi-country, regional analysis over 17 months for Sweden/Norway and 10 months for German regions
Model results quantified specific contributions, such as mobility data explaining 40–65% of infections and a 40% drop in transmission potential in summer
Limitations
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
The 5.5 KB size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing only model priors or summary parameters
