Abstract:We present results on the existence of various common
patterns in the growth of the total number of patients affected by COVID-19,
a disease acquired through infection by a
novel coronavirus, in different countries.
For this purpose we
propose a scaling model that can have general applicability
in the understanding of real data of

scaling, a technique
used in the literature of phase transition to identify universality classes.
In the disease model,
the size of a … Show more
