Abstract

For epidemiological analysis of COVID-19, daily number of the patients (P) and daily number of the deaths (D) divided by the daily number of the patients (D/P) were plotted in the vertical axis in logarithmic scale along days in the horizontal axis. The plots were synchronized among nearby countries but not across regions. D/P declined wave by wave to become <0.01 by 3-4 months after the start of the epidemic, nearly one year ahead of the start of vaccination.

Keywords: SARS-CoV2; Epidemic Curve; Case-Fatality; Synchronization; Quasi-Species; Vaccination
