Possible factors for the severity of epidemic


We will produce a new set of models taking in account these factors as well as  professor Bricaire's contributions

The conclusion would be the return of sanatoriums. (After all, we used these techniques in the middle ages)

  • In cities studied below, first quartile, curve rising up happens as days are short, 4th quartile the curve dropping as days become longer
  • It doesn't like light (bats are nocturnal, Moscow should start dropping within 3 to 4 weeks)
  • It slows as days become longer (question: it struck hardest end of winter when vitamin D levels were lowest ?) 
  • It doesn't like the cold (it starts late in Scandinavia, New York, Moscow)
  • It doesn't like sea shore (Madrid vs Barcelona, Milan vs Rome, Paris vs Marseille, Brussels vs Lille)
  • It doesn't like heat (it has flat curves)
  • It seems to be more virulent in late winter early spring (sun deficit?)
  • It likes people grouped together with recycled ventilation (cave bat)


% of losses in the population to assess the severity of the epidemic by urban area



% of losses of population according to confinement (Italy, France, Spain), distance (Australia, Denmark), Free Sweden


Starting temperature of the epidemic 2nd district Miami, Dallas and Sao Paolo have a higher temperature and a flat curve
Belle curve temperature for second quartile. Miami, Dallas and Sao Paola have higher temperatures, epidemic happens with a much flatter curve

1st quartile as epidemic rises days are short in explored cities and 4th quartile days are longer

You maybe curious to click on the Wuhan story tab to explore options as to why Wuhan's lock down gave different results than everywhere else.

These numbers reflect infection they are 1 to 2 weeks ahead of psychological effect, antibodies or symptoms appear 1 to 2 weeks after

Capitals and dense cities tend to be at much higher percentages than rural areas where densities are lower thus reducing R0

Since we don’t when it started we chose a group of countries that are hot all year with good reporting capabilities and that are destinations for international travel where the virus is very likely to have had cases under radar between novemebre and February

We are comparing these countries spread to that of Weather countries to try to guess how the spread of innocuoity may be altered as weather warms up

Air conditionning in malls, hospitals, supermarkets….may alter that effect

This preliminary data indicates that either the spread or innocuoity of the virus are impacted in a positive way by heat as off a threshold. Below that threshold it does not seem to be affected
