TL;DR: The simulations indicate that any realistic containment strategy, including those similar to the one ongoing in South Africa, may yield a manifold overload of available intensive care units, and may support identifying strategies towards containing COVID-19 as well as any major future pandemics in these countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of interventions on the COVID-19 outbreak dynamics, focusing on South Africa before and after the national lockdown enacted on March 27, 2020.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the sociodemographic variables that underpin the well-educated group's decision to commute longer distances than other educational groups and found that some characteristics exert the already known effects on both samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study analyzed passenger data from the true DRT system EcoBus to identify distinct drivers of old passengers' satisfaction compared to other passengers, and older people stated to be even more satisfied with the service then younger travellers did.

TL;DR: Investigation of implications of interventions on the COVID-19 outbreak dynamics on South Africa before and after the national lockdown enacted on March 27, 2020 shows that initial exponential growth of existing case numbers is consistent with doubling times of about 2.5 days, but after lockdown the growth remains exponential, in contrast to subexponential growth reported for Hubei/China after lockdown.
