Living with the virus: Infection and epidemiology of COVID‐19 in hotspot area of India

Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) has been identified as a pandemic and affected almost whole world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the causative agent of this disease, is infecting Indian population since the last week of January 2020. The data were collected from January 30, 2020, to May 23, 2020, to analyze basic trend of COVID‐19 cases in India targeting hotspot regions. To find the linear relationship between variables, that is, age, total positive cases, population, and population density data have been statistically analyzed. COVID‐19 caused more than 5000 deaths till May 2020 in India. SARS‐CoV‐2 spread to several Indian cities with more than 100,000 positive cases. Total number of COVID‐19 cases and total recovered cases followed the exponential distribution, while number of deaths showed linear behavior. Nearly 50% of the youth, that is, 20–40 years of age had been found to recover from the infection. As a lockdown cannot be a permanent solution, it is important to understand the nature of virus and learn “living with the virus” while minimizing its spreading at the same time.

Perceived severity, fear of retaliation, and suspect report intention of general public during COVID‐19 pandemic: A moderated moderation analysis

“…The COVID‐19 pandemic has sustained for over a year now and new lethal strains are emerging across many countries (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021 ). Therefore, researchers recommend learning how to live with this virus (Giri et al, 2021 ) even after vaccination drives. Governments across the globe have been working relentlessly to flatten the COVID‐19 curve through different containment and mitigation strategies such as lockdown and shutdown and implementing a variety of non‐pharmaceutical interventions (Brauner et al, 2021 ).…”

A saúde em tempos de crise: lições a partir da Covid-19

“…Os estudos analisados indicaram a associação entre o resultado das políticas e os aspectos territoriais (extensão territorial, densidade demográfica e localização), de forma que a contenção da pandemia foi mais efetiva em localidades menores e de menor densidade demográfica (ABDULLAH; KIM, 2020; ALI; AHMED; HASSAN, 2020;GIRI et al, 2021;MENIFIELD;CLARK, 2020). As características da população também se mostraram relevantes enquanto condicionantes do resultado das políticas públicas, com ênfase na idade média da população, cultura, participação política, nível educacional e gênero.…”

Análise Das Capacidades Estatais No Enfrentamento Da Pandemia Da Covid-19 No Brasil

“…Esse resultado é contrário ao de alguns estudos internacionais, que associavam a concentração de pessoas a uma maior contaminação e letalidade por Covid-19, a exemplo de Giri et al (2021) e Ali, Ahmed e Hassan (2020).…”
