Demographic science aids in understanding the spread and fatality rates of COVID-19 (2020, background): “9 In spite of the comparatively younger population of the UK, the bottom right panel illustrates that the UK could face similar numbers of COVID-19 deaths as Italy.”
Detectable serum SARS-CoV-2 viral load (RNAaemia) is closely correlated with drastically elevated interleukin 6 (IL-6) level in critically ill COVID-19 patients (2020, background): “In contrast, some patients may develop severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or multiple organ failure [8] [9] [10] [11] .”
The COVID-19 Cytokine Storm; What We Know So Far (2020, background): “The virus was confirmed to spread through respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes (7–9) with the ability of the host to shed the infection while asymptomatic (10).”
Transmission of COVID-19 virus by droplets and aerosols: A critical review on the unresolved dichotomy (2020, background): “However, more profound epidemiological sustenance of SARS-CoV-2 virus may, therefore, be because of some other factors, including high viral loads in the upper respiratory tract and the capability of persons infected with COVID-19 to shed and transmit the virus while remaining asymptomatic (Bai et a”
Interleukin‐6 in Covid‐19: A systematic review and meta‐analysis (2020, background): “[11] [12] [13] In China, nearly one-fifth of infected patients experience severe or critical illness,14 ”
Obesity and COVID-19 Severity in a Designated Hospital in Shenzhen, China (2020, methodology): “Confirmation of COVID-19 The presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected by the real-time reverse transcription PCRmethod (18).”
Coronavirus (COVID-19) (2020, background): “asymptomatic patients spreading the virus [6, 7]; animals’ susceptibility and involvement; and the spread of cases in a region prior to the recognition of COVID-19 within that area [8].”
A systematic review of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19 (2020, positive): “A report pointed out that one asymptomatic person who experienced 19 days from contact with the source of infection to RT-PCR confirmation may have infected 5 people.(7) These asymptomatic cases may play a role in the transmission and therefore pose a significant challenge to infection control.”
SARS-CoV-2 Titers in Wastewater Are Higher than Expected from Clinically Confirmed Cases (2020, result): “Given the importance of assessing the fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infections that present with symptoms, we note that our results are consistent with the idea that a significant fraction of cases are not detected with current testing algorithms, and that this fraction may include a large number of asympt”
A preliminary assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on environment – A case study of China (2020, neutral): “The global outbreak and spread of COVID-19 not only seriously threatens public health (Bai et al., 2020; Sohrabi et al., 2020) , but also greatly hinders global economic growth (Lai et al., 2020) .”
