Yet both appear to be acting in their own self-interest, with Trump visibly concerned with the effect an increasing coronavirus crisis could have on the stock market and thereby his reelection prospects. While that movie proves eerily prophetic in a number of ways—right down to suggesting the next global pandemic could be caused by a bat in China contaminating another animal sold for food a pig in the movie, probably a snake in real-life —its depiction of a deadly flu is actually far more apocalyptic than COVID In fact, for a thriller sometimes criticized for its cold procedural storytelling, there is also a rational procedural light at the end of the tunnel.
Eventually, health experts are able to discover a vaccination that can inoculate the public in the movie—and under a year no less, which seems downright rosy right about now. Cheever shaking hands for the first time in months with a child he just inoculated. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm. Hopefully, the ability for folks to do that without looking for a bottle of Purell will come again soon. And hopefully people with massive platforms can be just as forthright in the information they choose to spread.

Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the U. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection.
They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic. Beth Emhoff Gwenyth Paltrow returns from a business trip to Hong Kong with a stop over at the Chicago airport, where she has sex with her former lover.
Beth feels ill, but thinks the problem is jet leg. She travels back home to Minneapolis and spreads the virus to her son Clark and her husband, Mitch. When Beth and Clark die, Mitch goes in quarantine where the doctors realise he is immune to the mysterious virus. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, London and in a small province, cases of the mystery illness are cropping up, as the American CDC and the World Health Organization give their best effort researching the virus.
A race against the clock begins, as the virus is spreading in a geometric progression, and if no solution is found - very fast - humanity will cease to be. Kraemer, M. Greene, W.

We conducted this comparison for Chinese provinces and South Korea, for which the data we collected were from local administrative units that are more spatially granular than the data in the JHU CSSE database. Small discrepancies, especially in later periods of the outbreak, are generally due to imported cases international or domestic that are present in national statistics but that we do not assign to particular cities in China or provinces in Korea.
Systematic trends in case detection may potentially bias estimates of no-policy infection growth rates see equation 8. We estimate the potential magnitude of this bias using data from the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases Markers indicate daily first differences in the logarithm of the fraction of estimated symptomatic cases reported for each country over time.
The average value over time solid line and value denoted in panel title is the average growth rate of case detection, equal to the magnitude of the potential bias. For example, in the main text we estimate that the infection growth rate in the United States is 0. Each grey circle is either the estimated no-policy growth rate a or the total effect of all policies combined b , from one of these k regressions.
Red and blue circles show estimates from the full sample, identical to the results presented in Fig. For each country panel, if a single region is influential, the estimated value when it is withheld from the sample will appear as an outlier. Samples that omit an influential region are highlighted with an open pink circle. As in Fig. Same as Extended Data Fig.
WFH denotes work from home policies; opt denotes optional policies. In cases in which two regions are influential, a second region is highlighted with an open green circle.
Existing evidence has not demonstrated whether policies should affect infection growth rates in the days immediately after deployment. If a delay model is more consistent with real world infection dynamics, these fixed lag models should recover larger estimates for the impact of policies and exhibit better model fit.
In-sample fit generally declines or remains unchanged if policies are assumed to have a delay longer than 4 days. Estimates generally are unchanged or shrink towards zero for example, home isolation in Iran , consistent with mis-coding of post-policy days as no-policy days. Identical to Fig. The sample size is 46 observations. The sample size is observations. For all panels, the difference between the with- and no-policy predictions is our estimated effect of actual anti-contagion policies on the growth rate of infections or hospitalizations.
Black circles are observed changes in log infections or diamonds for log hospitalizations , averaged across observed administrative units. We compute total cases across the respective final days in our samples for the six countries presented in our analysis.
We examine the performance of reduced-form econometric estimators through simulations in which different underlying disease dynamics are assumed see Supplementary Methods section 2. Each histogram shows the distribution of econometrically estimated values across 1, simulated outbreaks. Estimates are for the no-policy infection growth rate analogous to Fig. The black line shows the correct value imposed on the simulation and the red histogram shows the distribution of estimates using the regression in equation 7 , applied to data output from the simulation.
The grey dashed line shows the mean of this distribution. In each panel, S min is the minimum susceptible fraction observed across all 1, day simulations shown in each panel. In the real datasets used in the main text, after correcting for country-specific underreporting, S min across all units analysed is 0. Bias refers to the distance between the dashed grey and black line as a percentage of the true value.
These plots show the estimated residuals from equation 7 for each country-specific econometric model. Histograms left show the estimated unconditional probability density function. Quantile plots right show quantiles of the cumulative density function y axis plotted against the same quantiles for a normal distribution.
For additional details, see Fig. Supplementary Notes : Details policy deployment decisions in each of the countries analyzed and describes the data acquisition and processing for the epidemiological and policy data. Both types of data are gathered from a variety of in-country data sources, including government public health websites, regional newspaper articles, and Wikipedia crowd-sourced information. Supplementary Methods: Describes sensitivity analyses and simulations performed to verify the robustness of our model.
These include the sensitivity of our regression model and counterfactual projections to varying epidemiological parameters, as well as the sensitivity of our estimates to alternative lag structures, withholding of data, and differing policy groupings.
