Abstract

Abstract The digital field certainly provides a lot of information in the medical field, it is possible, in a computerized way, also to simulate epidemics, and the spread of these. There have been events in the past, in some simulation games, which are currently being studied, as they could provide important clues for the resolution of epidemics such as the one from COVID-19. One of these events occurred due to a bug in 2005 in the role-playing online game World of Warcraft. Through these simulations it is possible to make prophylactic plans to intervene preventively or plan interventions throughout mathematical models.

虚拟现实和大型多人在线角色扮演游戏作为预防数学模型:重点关注COVID-19的传播

数字领域当然提供了大量的医疗领域的信息，这是有可能的，以计算机化的方式，也模拟流行病，以及这些传播。过去在一些模拟游戏中发生过一些事件，目前正在研究中，因为它们可以为解决COVID-19等流行病提供重要线索。2005年，角色扮演在线游戏《魔兽世界》出现了一个漏洞，导致了其中一起事件。通过这些模拟，可以通过数学模型制定预防性干预计划或计划干预措施。

期刊介绍： Epidemiologic Methods (EM) seeks contributions comparable to those of the leading epidemiologic journals, but also invites papers that may be more technical or of greater length than what has traditionally been allowed by journals in epidemiology. Applications and examples with real data to illustrate methodology are strongly encouraged but not required. Topics. genetic epidemiology, infectious disease, pharmaco-epidemiology, ecologic studies, environmental exposures, screening, surveillance, social networks, comparative effectiveness, statistical modeling, causal inference, measurement error, study design, meta-analysis
