Abstract

In this paper is demonstrated that the morphology of infection’s curve is a consequence of the entropic behavior of macro-systems that are entirely dependent on the nonlinearity of social dynamics. Thus in the ongoing pandemic the so-called curve of cases would acquire an exponential morphology as consequence of the human mobility and the intensity of randomness that it exhibits still under social distancing and other types of social protection adopted in most countries along the first wave of spreading of Covid-19.

  1. 1.

    Here one can mention the aerial transportation as an important vector to increase the infection in a intercontinental way.
