We conclude that, while the ongoing covid-19 pandemic has had traumatic consequences in Sweden and Greece, it has not evolved into cultural trauma in either country. keywords: authorities; care; countries; covid-19; crisis; cultural; death; greece; health; media; national; pandemic; public; sweden; time; trauma; trust; virus cache: cord-344866-vhuw4gwn.txt plain text: cord-344866-vhuw4gwn.txt item: #60 of 65 id: cord-344994-68j6ekiy author: Lyu, M. title: Dynamic Modeling of Reported Covid-19 Cases and Deaths with Continuously Varying Case Fatality and Transmission Rate Functions date: 2020-09-27 words: 2948 flesch: 51 summary: Another use of disease transmission models has been to predict and plan for future 40 demands on the health care system, such as demands for hospital beds (ICU in 41 particular) and needs for health care resources, such as ventilators.

We calibrate it with the results of [Ace+20] and [AAL20] and compare these results to our augmented model using death rates on the same scale. keywords: deaths; immunity; lockdown; medrxiv; output; preprint; risk cache: cord-346912-o09qmp7x.txt plain text: cord-346912-o09qmp7x.txt item: #63 of 65 id: cord-350261-7lkcdisr author: Asirvatham, Edwin Sam title: Who is dying from COVID-19 and when?

The patients who were admitted in private hospitals had a median of 4 days of symptoms as compared to public hospital patients with 3 days of symptoms (P<0.005). keywords: admission; covid-19; death; hospital cache: cord-350261-7lkcdisr.txt plain text: cord-350261-7lkcdisr.txt item: #64 of 65 id: cord-351941-fgtatt40 author: Ghaffarzadegan, Navid title: Simulation‐based estimation of the early spread of COVID‐19 in Iran: actual versus confirmed cases date: 2020-07-06 words: 9177 flesch: 47 summary: Note that the unofficial reports for death cases in media are based on unofficial reports from the medical community with limited samples, thus γ is likely below one. Moreover, recent investigative reporting by Financial Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Economist has used all-cause death data of different countries and cities and estimated that globally, as much as 50% of COVID-19 death cases are missed (Burn-Murdoch et al., 2020) . keywords: cases; covid-19; data; death; disease; epidemic; estimates; infected; infection; iran; model; number; official; parameters; rate cache: cord-351941-fgtatt40.txt plain text: cord-351941-fgtatt40.txt item: #65 of 65 id: cord-354372-vfvnjmv1 author: Carpenito, L. title: The autopsy at the time of SARS-CoV-2: Protocol and lessons date: 2020-07-04 words: 5697 flesch: 46 summary: Immunohistochemistry, like biomolecular investigations performed on autopsy tissue samples, allows also to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 in the body, detailing its distribution in single cell types ( fig.
