    Confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and case-fatality rates vary among countries. One reason could be national policies regarding childhood BCG vaccination, with fewer confirmed cases and a lower death toll reported in countries with vs without universal BCG vaccine coverage.1,2 Comparing outbreak characteristics between countries is influenced by potential confounders such as different phases of outbreak, mean age of affected population, management of the pandemic, amount of tests being administered, definitions of COVID-19–related deaths, or underreporting.

Published online July 13, 2020. doi:10.1001/jama.2020.12458 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has reawakened the long-standing debate about the extent to which common respiratory viruses, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are transmitted via respiratory droplets vs aerosols. Droplets are classically described as larger entities (>5 μm) that rapidly drop to the ground by force of gravity, typically within 3 to 6 feet of the source person. Aerosols are smaller particles (≤5 μm) that rapidly evaporate in the air, leaving behind droplet nuclei that are small enough and light enough to remain suspended in the air for hours (analogous to pollen).
