TL;DR: It is highlighted that the growing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States could gravely challenge the critical care capacity, thereby exacerbating case fatality rates, and policies that encourage self-isolation may delay the epidemic peak, giving a window of time that could facilitate emergency mobilization to expand hospital capacity.

TL;DR: The results show that these measures likely slowed the rate of exportation from mainland China to other countries, but are insufficient to contain the global spread of COVID-19, and suggest that rapid contact tracing is essential both within the epicenter and at importation sites to limit human-to-human transmission outside of mainland China.

TL;DR: It is found that over one-third of silent infections must be isolated to suppress a future outbreak below 1% of the population, and that symptom-based isolation must be supplemented by rapid contact tracing and testing that identifies asymptomatic and presymPTomatic cases, in order to safely lift current restrictions and minimize the risk of resurgence.

TL;DR: It is found that a combined approach of case isolation, contact-tracing with quarantine, and sanitary funeral practices must be implemented with utmost urgency in order to reverse the growth of the outbreak of Ebola.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a mathematical model that quantifies the probability of post-quarantine transmission incorporating testing into travel quarantine, quarantine of traced contacts with an unknown time of infection, and quarantine of cases with a known time of exposure.
