Covid-19 and Knowledge Based Computation

Abstract

The problem of dealing with Covid-19, until a vaccine is universally administered, is to decrease the rate of transmission while getting some social and economic activity going. Infection passes from one person A to another person B when A is infected and B is susceptible. That is to say that B is not infected and not yet immune. Social activity also takes place when one person interacts with another. Perhaps A is a taxpayer and B is a tax consultant. Then filing the tax return may take the form of the two of them meeting. Much can be done electronically without such a meeting, but if A is a person who needs a haircut and B is a barber then it seems that it is necessary for the two to meet in order that A gets his haircut
