    Only 3 cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were identified in Italy in the first half of February 2020 and all involved people who had recently traveled to China. On February 20, 2020, a severe case of pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) was diagnosed in northern Italy’s Lombardy region in a man in his 30s who had no history of possible exposure abroad. Within 14 days, many other cases of COVID-19 in the surrounding area were diagnosed, including a substantial number of critically ill patients.1 On the basis of the number of cases and of the advanced stage of the disease it was hypothesized that the virus had been circulating within the population since January.

Riedo, MD2; Maria Chong, MD3; Melissa Lee, MD2 JAMA. Published online March 19, 2020. doi:10.1001/jama.2020.4326 The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is an emerging health threat.1 Until February 2020, most cases were described in non-US health systems.2,3 One of the first deaths in the US was reported at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington. Over the following weeks, multiple cases of COVID-19 were identified in the surrounding community and treated at Evergreen Hospital. Most were attributed to US transmission, and the majority were linked to exposures at a skilled nursing facility.

    • Global, Regional and National Incidence and Case-fatality rate of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) across 154 countries and territories: A systematic assessment of cases reported from January to March 16, 2020 Akshaya Srikanth Bhagavathula, Jamal Rahmani, Wafa Ali Aldhaleei, Alessandro Rovetta doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.26.20044743 Abstract Background: The surge of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID −19) outbreak was turned to a pandemic with hundreds and thousands of cases reported globally. The number of cases dramatically increased from early March 2020. Aim: We assessed the cumulative change in the incidence and case−fatality rate of COVID −19 at global, regional, and national levels from January to March 16, 2020, across 154 affected countries and territories globally. Methods: We collected data of COVID −19 cases using the GitHub repository, that provided support to realtime surveillance information developed by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE), Johns Hopkins University, USA. *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.
