Pathological findings of COVID-19 associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome. 10.1056/NEJMoa2001017Ĭoronaviridae Study Group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses The species severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus: classifying 2019-nCoV and naming it SARS-CoV-2. A novel coronavirus from patients with pneumonia in China, 2019. New-type coronavirus causes pneumonia in Wuhan: expert 9 January 2020, 2020. Outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China: the mystery and the miracle. Unravelling them will be important for discerning potential future scenarios, such as the first wave in virgin territories still untouched by COVID-19 and for future waves elsewhere. These unknowns and uncertainties require a deeper understanding of the variable trajectories of COVID-19. This paper tries to make sense of this variability-by exploring the important role that context plays in these different COVID-19 epidemics by comparing COVID-19 epidemics with other respiratory diseases, including other coronaviruses that circulate continuously and by highlighting the critical unknowns and uncertainties that remain. Learning from the variety of ways the COVID-19 epidemic is unfolding across the globe can potentially contribute to solving the COVID-19 puzzle. But important knowledge gaps remain (unknowns). In only a few months, an enormous amount of scientific evidence on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 has been uncovered (knowns). But this variety of global trajectories is little described, analysed or understood. Until now, the insights gained on COVID-19 have been largely dominated by the COVID-19 epidemics and the lockdowns in China, Europe and the USA. However, in different countries, the COVID-19 epidemic takes variable shapes and forms in how it affects communities. Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread to nearly all countries of the world in only a few months. It is very exceptional that a new disease becomes a true pandemic.
