Will this model by able to model next generation  COVID pandemics?
 
 
I think NSFD is essentially the same idea as my exponentially fitted schemes for parabolic PDE. I posted here on this a while back.
  
So, basically the NSFD is exact for constant-coefficient case. The original idea goes back to de Allen and Southwell (1955).

// I stumbled on this trick for 1st order ODEs in 1976 as prelude to PDE fitting.

Anti-malarial drug killed some 200 Covid patients in NL: study

https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/01/antima ... -nl-study/

By then, former presidents Donald Trump and Jaïr Bolsonaro had embraced the use of the drug as a game-changer. In the Netherlands, FvD leader Thierry Baudet called it “an effective medicine” and it was promoted widely in anti-vax circles.
