Understanding the Anticontagion Process and Reopening of China during COVID-19 via Coevolution Network of Epidemic and Awareness

Figure 2

Comparison of simulation results and real epidemic data in China. In subfigure (a), the blue circles and red triangles represent the real and simulated cumulative numbers of confirmed cases in Chinese provinces on April 12th, respectively, with 31 provinces in total ranked by administrative code (except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). A partial enlarged view of the dotted rectangle highlights the data from 30 provinces except Hubei. In subfigure (b), the differences between real and simulated cumulative confirmed cases were converted into a heat map to observe the geographical distribution of the epidemic. The red region indicates that the real data is higher than the simulation result, while the blue region indicates the opposite. (a) Simulation results vs. real data. (b) Distribution in India.
