Tendency prediction of COVID-19 worldwide

  • ObjectiveWe give projections of the COVID-19 epidemic course worldwide.
    MethodsBased on a generic SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered/removed) model which incorporates the main epidemiological parameters and control efficacy into it, we construct thereby the webapp EpiSIX and use it to forecast the possible tendency of the epidemic course of COVID-19.
    ResultsIdeally, the epidemic course worldwide would be stopped by the end of September 2020, with outcomes of 7.0 million diagnosed cases worldwide and 2.5 million diagnosed cases in the USA (currently 5.4 million worldwide and 1.67 million in USA).
    ConclusionWe make a Warning: Predicted only for the first wave. Be careful with the emerging of second wave.
