Snippet: This stylized example may serve, once more, to show why while population age structure is crucial for understanding the populations at the highest risk of mortality both across and within countries, it is also important for understanding how much social distancing measures are required in each population to reduce the number of most critical cases and overload on the health system-aka "flattening the curve." 6 At this time of severe crisis, polic.....
Document: This stylized example may serve, once more, to show why while population age structure is crucial for understanding the populations at the highest risk of mortality both across and within countries, it is also important for understanding how much social distancing measures are required in each population to reduce the number of most critical cases and overload on the health system-aka "flattening the curve." 6 At this time of severe crisis, policy makers are called to define containment measures which are often difficult to sustain in the long run and which have immense repercussions in terms of socio-economic sustainability. For these measures to be effective, a special attention should be devoted to those population groups that are more at risk and to the strength of the connections across generations.
