Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a scourge upon humanity, claiming the lives of more than 5.1 million people worldwide; the global economy contracted by 3.5% in 2020. This paper presents a COVID-19 calculator, synthesizing existing published calculators and data points, to measure the positive U.S. socio-economic impact of a COVID-19 AI/ML pre-screening solution (algorithm & application).
