Summary The resurgence of pertussis (whooping cough) becomes a serious problem in many countries including the UK. Differentiation accumulated monthly numbers cases registered England 2023 and 2024 revealed two waves epidemic before after October 2023. Identification parameters SIR (susceptible-infectious-removed) model allowed calculating infectious persons reproduction rates. daily duration first wave were predicted. If influence second will be not very significant, new stop to appear end August 2025 reaching figure 5.8 thousand. maximum average is expected around 51 on 9-10 May 2024. Since effective number close its critical value 1.0, probably outbreaks high. the, increase percentage vaccinated people could decrease this probability.

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine caused an unprecedented number refugees after 24 February 2022. To estimate the influence this humanitarian disaster on COVID-19 pandemic dynamics, smoothed daily numbers cases in Ukraine, UK, Poland, Germany, Republic Moldova, and whole world were calculated compared with values predicted by generalized SIR model. In March 2022, increase new worldwide was visible. A simple formula to effective reproduction based accumulated is proposed. results calculations agree figures presented John Hopkins University demonstrate a short-term growth

On February 24, 2022 Russia started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which created an unprecedented number refugees. To estimate influence this humanitarian disaster on COVID-19 pandemic dynamics, averaged daily numbers cases and reproduction in UK, Poland, Germany, Republic Moldova, whole world were calculated for period February-April 2022. The registered compared with ones use generalized SIR-model corresponding parameter identification procedure previous epidemic waves world. Since before estimation infectious persons per capita Ukraine 3.6 times exceeded global figure, increase new duration was expected. In March worldwide visible. A simple formula to effective based smoothed accumulated is proposed. results calculations agree figures presented by John Hopkins University demonstrate a short-term growth
