Abstract
An epidemic of a novel coronavirus emerged from Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 and has since spread to several large Chinese cities. Should a scenario arise where this coronavirus spreads more broadly across China, we evaluate how patterns of international disease transmission could change.

Coronavirus Disease 2019–COVID-19

TL;DR: Analysis of epidemiological, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects, including perspectives of vaccines and preventive measures that have already been globally recommended to counter this pandemic virus, suggest that this novel virus has been transferred from an animal source, such as bats.

The cytokine storm and COVID-19.

TL;DR: The current understanding of the features of SARS‐CoV‐2 and the pathological features, pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatments of the cytokine storm induced by COVID‐19 are reviewed and it is suggested that the identification and treatment of theocyte storm are important components for rescuing patients with severe CO VID‐19.

Practical recommendations for critical care and anesthesiology teams caring for novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) patients

TL;DR: A global health emergency has been declared by the World Health Organization as the 2019-nCoV outbreak spreads across the world, with confirmed patients in Canada as discussed by the authors, and patients infected with 2019-CoV are at risk for developing respiratory failure and requiring admission to critical care units.

Can we contain the COVID-19 outbreak with the same measures as for SARS?

TL;DR: COVID-19 differs from SARS in terms of infectious period, transmissibility, clinical severity, and extent of community spread, but even if traditional public health measures are not able to fully contain the outbreak of CO VID-19, they will still be effective in reducing peak incidence and global deaths.

Identifying Future Disease Hot Spots: Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index

TL;DR: The infectious disease vulnerability scores for several countries were better than what would have been predicted on the basis of economic status alone, suggesting that low-income countries can overcome economic challenges and become more resilient to public health challenges, such as infectious disease outbreaks.
