Findings The application of all four social distancing
interventions: school closure, workplace
non-attendance, increased case isolation, and community contact
reduction is highly effective in
flattening the epidemic curve, reducing the maximum daily case
numbers, and lengthening
outbreak duration. These were also found to be effective even
after 10 weeks delay from index
case arrivals. The most effective single intervention was found
to be increasing case isolation, to
100% of children and 90% of adults.

2. Italy's fatality rate at 9.3%, Iran 7.8%, Spain at 6.2%, UK
at 4.9%, Netherlands at 4.3%, France t 4.2%.
3. 15 of 25 countries with more than 1,000 cases is in Europe
(Turkey excluded)
4. U.S. has now the third highest case count globally but
fatality rate is well below global average at 1.3%, similar to
South Korea at 1.2%.
5. Germany has 5th most coronavirus cases but mortality at 0.4%
so far.

New data ... found lower rates in kids. But when they relied on
contact tracing — testing people who come in contact with a
confirmed case — children seemed to be getting infected at the
same rate as adults.

Power of social distancing. Self isolation and self quarantine
is the best way to fight the pandemic. Rest keep washing your
hands and sanitising yourself and people around you.

The 2009 swine flu infected 1.4 Billion people around the world,
and killed 575,000 people. There was no media panic, and
societies did not shut down. Swine Flu was an inefficient virus
and was no where near as contagious as COVID-19. Mortality rate
to infections in Swine flu was also much higher. But it just
didn’t have the potential to become the type of pandemic that
COVID-19 does.
------edit gsgs------------
2009 swine flu was more contagious (except in summer) but less
lethal than COVID-19
in USA 20% were infected in 2009 and 12000 died from it in 2009

worldwide probably only ~200000 deaths, 575000 is the
upper-end-estimate

Coronavirus: Doctors At Hospitals Say COVID-19 Death Numbers
Aren’t Consistent.
No one will ever know the actual count of the many deaths caused
by the coronavirus.
Many that die with symptoms have not been tested before or after
their death.

Wearing a mask is useful to keep infected people from giving it
to others. Those infected with SARS-CoV-2 can be asymptomatic
and give virus to others
Many countries are reporting local community transmissions and
can no longer trace who gave it to whom. There are also
instances of some people showing symptoms but masking/hiding
them via various means because. Given these circumstances, at
some point it may be best to act as if everyone is a possible
carrier. If so, it makes sense to get everyone to wear masks.

From WHO's most recent press briefing: A total lockdown cannot
stop the spread of COVID 19. It is meant to be used to buy time
while we get sufficient infrastructure ready and develop more
lasting solutions. If we do nothing after 2 weeks/1 month, the
curve will steepen.

COVID-19 spreads through 'droplets' via the air and infects the
person through the nose, eyes, mouth, and well, hands which
touch your face. So to avoid getting it, one needs to protect
these sources of entry is critical.
