TL;DR: During the first 2 months of the current outbreak, Covid-19 spread rapidly throughout China and caused varying degrees of illness, and patients often presented without fever, and many did not have abnormal radiologic findings.

TL;DR: It is found that among laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19, patients with any comorbidity yielded poorer clinical outcomes than those without and a greater number ofComorbidities also correlated with poorer clinical outcome.

TL;DR: The findings provide strong empirical support for the routine application of serological testing in the diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients and offer vital clinical information during the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

TL;DR: In this preliminary uncontrolled case series of 5 critically ill patients with COVID-19 and ARDS, administration of convalescent plasma containing neutralizing antibody was followed by improvement in their clinical status, and these observations require evaluation in clinical trials.

TL;DR: The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics, as well as potential biomarkers for predicting disease severity in 2019-nCoV-infected patients in Shenzhen, China, suggest a number of potential diagnosis biomarkers and angiotensin receptor blocker drugs for potential repurposing treatment of 2019- nCoV infection.
