Instead, the expected SARS-Cov-2related mortality is more closely related to early events within the first days of the outbreak and to timing to regional/national interventions (eg, social distancing, confinement), which suggests that superspreading events (eg Lombardia region, Italy) deeply impact on the magnitude of the curve and, in turn, on the number of deaths. Figure 1B illustrates the curves of the expected deaths based on daily peak after 28 and 21 days in Italy, Germany, Spain, and New York State. ./cache/cord-325045-ak7rouhb.txt ./txt/cord-325045-ak7rouhb.txt
