On the Long-term Health Care Crisis. A Possible Eradication Scenario
-
Other Comments:
This is an opinion paper based on mathematical modeling of epidemics.
There is no abstract provided and no stated conclusions.
The implied conclusion is that diseases naturally follow a cyclic pattern but may eventually settle into a steady equilibrium (between sick and well).
The problem with the symbols used for coefficients (from the previous version) has been corrected.

There is a problem with the symbols used for coefficients - they do not appear in the text.

The authors suggest a possible model to describe the worldwide healthcare crisis, where diseases that have been considered to be eradicated or under our control are re-emerging today.
To some extent
I hope the authors have gone through proper literature review
I am not an expert in mathematical modelling, but it seems interesting to me. I hope the experts in the field of statistical modelling should jugde it.
NA
Its an opinion of the authors and has been presented in the form of an essay.
If they could present it in the form of a review paper, would have been better.
I would not say outstanding, but it seems very interesting
I think experts in this field should comment on this model.
