    On Dec 31, 2019, the WHO China Country Office received notice of a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown aetiology in the Chinese city of Wuhan, Hubei province.1 The incidence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) has since risen exponentially, now affecting all WHO regions. The number of cases reported to date is likely to represent an underestimation of the true burden as a result of shortcomings in surveillance and diagnostic capacity affecting case ascertainment in both high-resource and low-resource settings.2 By all scientifically meaningful criteria, the world is undergoing a COVID-19 pandemic.

    • 1.时间：2020年3月23日 2.机构或团队：美国加州大学伯克利分校、美国加州大学旧金山分校 3.事件概要： 3月23日，The Lancet Infectious Diseases期刊在线发表了来自美国加州大学伯克利分校、美国加州大学旧金山分校研究团队的题为“Scientific and ethical basis for social-distancing interventions against COVID-19”的文章。 该文章指出，由于监测和诊断能力的短缺影响了病例确诊，迄今为止报告的病例数可能低于实际负担。世界正在经历COVID-19大流行。不同干预措施的规模和破坏性影响不同。对于实施/将要实施社会隔离干预措施的人群，应确保决策获得了科学依据的支撑。该文章指出，对于诸如SARS-CoV-2之类的新型病原体，在不同情况下传播的数学模型是产生此类证据的可行且及时的方法。尽管模型的复杂性使得决策者难以理解每个参数的影响，但主要结论对灵敏度分析还是很可靠的。每种干预措施的额外收益进行评估表明其各自都会导致相当大的社会影响，因此重要的是要了解减少传播和疾病负担所需的干预程度。 该文章指出，除了科学依据的考虑以外，还要考虑多方面的道德影响。重要的是，政治领导人必须制定不偏向任何群体的隔离和社会隔离政策。干预措施可能带来收入降低甚至失业的风险，对弱势群体的影响尤其严重，应特别注意对弱势人群的保护，并出台相应的政策。 该文章认为，检疫和社会隔离的有效性和社会影响将取决于公共卫生局、政治领导人和机构的信誉。政策制定者应通过使用基于论证的防控措施和基于事实的透明的沟通来维护公众的信任，这一点很重要。 4.附件： 原文链接 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30190-0/fulltext

    • Social distancing strategies for curbing the COVID-19 epidemic Stephen M Kissler, Christine Tedijanto, Marc Lipsitch, Yonatan Grad doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.22.20041079 Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is straining healthcare resources worldwide, prompting social distancing measures to reduce transmission intensity. The amount of social distancing needed to curb the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in the context of seasonally varying transmission remains unclear. Using a mathematical model, we assessed that one-time interventions will be insufficient to maintain COVID-19 prevalence within the critical care capacity of the United States. Seasonal variation in transmission will facilitate epidemic control during the summer months but could lead to an intense resurgence in the autumn. Intermittent distancing measures can maintain control of the epidemic, but without other interventions, these measures may be necessary into 2022. Increasing critical care capacity could reduce the duration of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic while ensuring that critically ill patients receive appropriate care. *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.
