TL;DR: The findings indicate that strict containment, movement restrictions, and increased awareness of the population have contributed to interrupt transmission of SARS-CoV-2 outside Hubei, and an early peak of infectiousness, with possible transmission before the onset of symptoms is suggested.

TL;DR: This epidemiological study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics, clinical severity, and time-to-event distributions of patients infected with A H7N9 in the 2016-17 epidemic compared with previous epidemics.

TL;DR: Influenza was associated with substantial excess respiratory mortality in China between 2010-11 and 2014-15 seasons, especially in older adults aged at least 60 years, and continuous and high-quality surveillance data are needed to improve the estimation of the disease burden attributable to influenza.

TL;DR: Human-human contact was very frequent but contact with animals was rare although associated with frequent human- human contact in a high-income densely-populated area of China, Shanghai City, and it is proposed that telephone interview at the end of reporting day is a potential improvement of the design of future contact surveys.

TL;DR: The CFR estimates based on laboratory-confirmed cases ascertained in mainland China suggest that COVID-19 is more severe than the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in hospitalized patients, particularly in Wuhan.
