A Continuum Deformation Approach for Growth Analysis of COVID-19 in the United States

Abstract The COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly impacted every aspect of life all over the world. The United States is reported to have suffered more than 20% of the global casualties from this pandemic. It is imperative to investigate the growth dynamics of the disease in the US based on va...
