  Analysis based on studies in China reported contrasting relationship between spread rate and temperature, ranging from positive relationship reported for Wuhan, China (6), for Chinese cities with very low (< 3 • C) ambient temperatures (7) , or positive (8) or negative (9) relationships for provinces across China, and lack of relationship between spread rates and temperature across cities in China (10) . Hence, our findings at the global scale, and consolidated across multiple time periods following the pandemic state, reject the hypothesis of a relationship between COVID-19 spread rates and ambient temperature, consistent with those of recent studies that also reported no evidence for an association of epidemic growth with temperature using different approaches and data (12) .

summary:
  One of the main public health challenges regarding ZTB is that its true incidence in humans is not known and is likely to be underestimated due to the lack of systematic surveillance for M. bovis as a causal agent of TB in people in all low-income, high TB burden countries where bovine TB is endemic, and the inability of laboratory procedures most commonly used to diagnose human TB to identify and differentiate M. bovis from M. tb (12) .

summary:
  It is therefore mandatory to explore alternative solutions; these include increasing available beds and healthcare providers, implementing alternative, though suboptimal, approaches (where appropriate), transferring patients to other clinical units, etc. Having applied standard clinical evaluation criteria for the appropriate treatment of patients with COVID-19, including consideration of prognosis, if a hospital then finds itself unable to provide optimal treatment (e.g., due to a disproportion between the number of patients and the availability of beds, healthcare providers, ventilators, and drugs in the ICU), it becomes necessary to evaluate, case by case, how to achieve justice and the best possible good for the greatest number of patients.

  Moreover, we showed evidence that moving from relatively low to high cumulative detection rates (and thus saving lives) is unlikely and difficult. Thirdly, in this paper, we test the hypothesis that higher detection rates can save lives while providing a measure of this impact (having in mind that is preferable to be vaguely right than precisely wrong).
