TL;DR: Based on individual records of 1178 potential SARS-CoV-2 infectors and their 15,648 contacts in Hunan, China, the authors estimated key transmission parameters.

TL;DR: These findings support the contribution of children to transmission and the importance of pre-symptomatic transmission, in turn highlighting the need for large-scale testing, contact tracing activities, and the use of personnel protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TL;DR: It is found that patients with pulmonary fibrosis, heart failure, and virus infection have a higher risk and are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and a therapeutic strategy to prevent patients from developing severe complications is proposed.

TL;DR: EV-A71 maternal antibodies were efficiently transferred to neonates, but declined quickly to below the protective threshold, particularly among those whose mothers had low antibody titres, suggesting that maternal vaccination could be explored to provide neonatal protection against EV-A 71 through maternal antibodies.
