Comments on “Optimal control analysis of a COVID-19 and tuberculosis co-dynamics model”

Abstract

Study of dynamics of COVID-19 and its co-infection with other diseases through mathematical models is the major focus of recent advancement in mathematical modeling of infectious diseases. There are numerous mathematical models on COVID-19 which describe its dynamics for different geographic regions. However, there are very few research papers dealing with co-infection of COVID-19 and TB. As both TB and COVID-19 are infectious diseases of same nature it becomes very difficult to predict the co-dynamics of these two diseases. The formulation of a correct mathematical model is very important in any kind of modeling and if the mathematical model is not proper then any prediction based on this may not be valid. This letter highlights the important limitations in the proposed mathematical model of co-dynamics of COVID-19 and TB by [1].
