Resumen:
Emerging and re-emerging pathogens are latent threats in oursociety with the risk of killing millions of people worldwide,without forgetting the severe economic and educational backlogs.From COVID-19, we learned that self isolation and quarantine restrictions(confinement) were the main way of protection till availabilityof vaccines. However, abrupt lifting of social confinement wouldresult in new waves of new infection cases and high death tolls.Here, inspired by how an extracellular solution can make watermove into or out of a cell through osmosis, we define confinementtonicity. This can serve as a standalone measurementfor the net direction and magnitude of flows between the confinedand deconfined susceptible compartments. Numerical resultsoffer insights on the effects of easing quarantine restrictions.
