Nem milagre, nem tragédia: Queríamos mais testes, temos de saber lidar com os efeitos disso. Queríamos desconfinar e isso levaria sempre a mais infetados. Queríamos que o SNS conseguisse responder e ele está a responder. Nunca houve um milagre, não há uma tragédia.

The pandemic playbook: A step-by-step guide to containing an outbreak

Oxford University’s timeline for a COVID-19 vaccine is shorter than previous estimates: Under the best-case scenario, their vaccine could be ready this year. However, the odds are against any vaccine candidate.

Coronavirus: Biggest daily rise in global cases reported by WHO | The Independent: More than 183,000 new cases of coronavirus were reported worldwide in the largest daily increase since the start of the outbreak, according to the World Health Organisation. The UN health agency said on Sunday that 183,020 cases were recorded in the latest 24 hour period, bringing the global total to 8,708,008.

How Exactly Do You Catch Covid-19? There Is a Growing Consensus: Instead, the major culprit is close-up, person-to-person interactions for extended periods. Crowded events, poorly ventilated areas and places where people are talking loudly—or singing, in one famous case—maximize the risk.

A faster response could have prevented most U.S. Covid-19 deaths: That isn’t a hypothetical question. And the answer that emerges from a direct comparison of the fatalities in and policies of the U.S. and other countries — South Korea, Australia, Germany, and Singapore — indicates that between 70% and 99% of the Americans who died from this pandemic might have been saved by measures demonstrated by others to have been feasible.
At least three factors enable meaningful comparisons of these nations with the United States. First, we scaled up their population sizes and Covid-19 deaths to match those of the U.S. Second, in each of these countries, roughly 80% or more of the population lives in urbanized, transmission-prone areas, similar to the U.S. Third, the pandemic took root earlier in these other countries than here, as measured by the date of the 15th confirmed case in each, meaning that foreign leaders had to act with less information to guide their decisions than did U.S. leaders.

COVID-19 Primer: Quickly understand the scientific progress in the fight against COVID-19. Using the most advanced NLP algorithms, read summaries and discover trends in the latest research papers and the conversations around them. Every 24hrs.

The catch: There are still major limits to AI's ability to actually comprehend written text of any kind, including scientific publications. That means the COVID-19 Primer and similar tools can't tell you the real value of any individual paper, just how it's being received in the news and on social media.
