COVID-19 epidemiology update: Current situation

A species of BETACORONAVIRUS causing atypical respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans. The organism was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. The natural host is the Chinese intermediate horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS affinis.

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

Viruses Infection

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.

mortality data

Mortality

a dataset that is about two or more hospital stays involving two or more patients.

hospital stay dataset

Hospitalization

A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Viruses represent the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus.

viral respiratory tract infection

Viral Respiratory Tract Infection

A census that is the specific outcome of a population demographic survey.

Cumulative Hospitalization

A count of hospital stays in a population that is the number of hospital stays that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident hospitalization count

Incident Hospitalization

A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident case count

Incident Case Count

A count of disease cases that is the total number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a reference temporal interval.

cumulative case count

Cumulative Case Count
