在大流行的早期,一些專家建議說,COVID-19的病毒的行為可能與許多其他冠狀病毒一樣,它們在秋季和冬季廣泛傳播。
為了弄清楚這是否成立,這次研究人員分析了來自221個國家的COVID-19數據-包括病例,死亡率,復原率,檢測率和住院情況。
經度與廣泛傳播的聯繫均不相關
longitude did not correlate with any of the epidemiological variables studied (r ranging from 0.0009 to 0.0712 with P = .337-.990)
緯度與發生率,死亡率,復原率和活躍病例,呈正相關
latitudes were positively correlated to incidence, mortality, recovery and active cases with statistical significance (P = .0001-.0216)
