Abstract:
:COVID-19 pandemic is a reality. This study extracted information from a case in Italy and a case in South Korea during COVID-19 pandemic. Epidemic threat evolved differently in Italy compared to that in South Korea. Case fatality ratios from Italy and South Korea were consistently diverging over time. It appears that 'epi-epidemic' determinants can strongly influence the epidemic burden in the communities.
