TL;DR: The results suggest that early detection, hand washing, self-isolation, and household quarantine will likely be more effective than travel restrictions at mitigating this pandemic, and sustained 90% travel restrictions to and from mainland China only modestly affect the epidemic trajectory unless combined with a 50% or higher reduction of transmission in the community.

TL;DR: GLEaMviz as discussed by the authors is a publicly available software system that simulates the spread of emerging human-to-human infectious diseases across the world, including the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.

TL;DR: The model shows that as of January 23, most Chinese cities had already received a considerable number of infected cases, and the travel quarantine delays the overall epidemic progression by only 3 to 5 days, which indicates that sustained 90% travel restrictions to and from Mainland China only modestly affect the epidemic trajectory.

TL;DR: This article used a global metapopulation epidemic model to provide a mechanistic understanding of the early dispersal of infections and the temporal windows of the introduction and onset of SARS-CoV-2 local transmission in Europe and the United States.

TL;DR: It is found that vaccination with the 2010 seasonal influenza vaccine was significantly protective against influenza-like illness (ILI) during the 2010–2011 influenza season.
