  • Concentric regulatory zones failed to halt surging Covid-19

    Open AccessJeffrey E HarrisARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Methods: We relied on reports of confirmed case incidence and test positivity, along with data on the movements of devices with location-tracking software, to evaluate a novel scheme of three concentric regulatory zones introduced by then New York Governor Cuomo to address an outbreak of COVID-19 in South Brooklyn in the fall of 2020. The regulatory scheme imposed differential controls on access to eating places, schools, houses of worship, large…

  • Timely epidemic monitoring in the presence of reporting delays

    Open AccessJeffrey E HarrisARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    The projected estimate of recently diagnosed cases could have had an impact on timely policy decisions to tighten social distancing measures. While the recent advent of widespread rapid antigen testing has changed the diagnostic testing landscape considerably, delays in public reporting of SARS-CoV-2 case counts remain an important barrier to effective public health policy

  • American cigarette manufacturers' ability to pay damages

    Jeffrey E HarrisARTICLETobacco Control1996

    The American cigarette industry's ability to pay large damage awards and settlement costs is not limited to its current annual profits of $7.6 billion, or $0.31 per pack. Much larger liability payments could be financed through increased wholesale cigarette prices or higher excise taxes. An increase in the federal cigarette excise tax of 50 cents per pack could yield an estimated $10.8 billion annually in net revenues available for liability cost…
