      3. Family transmission is common. Quarantine-at-home between 1/23-2/1 helped and did not work effectively (R=1.35>1), as family members and close contacts may be infected and might affect the neighborhood communities, e.g., going shopping. Centralized quarantine is critical.

      4. About 60% of infected cases were estimated to be un-ascertained, i.e,. they scattered in the community and could infect others. This means increasing the testing capacity for early diagnosis is critically important.

      5. Healthcare workers and elderly people are at a much higher risk of being infected. The risk of severity increases with age, and elderly people are at a much higher risk of becoming severe (RR=3 for 60-79 and RR=5 for 80+).

      6. Women have a lower risk of severity compared to men (RR=0.9). Early diagnosis and early treatments are important.

      Huge thanks also go to all the Wuhan residents, the local health professionals, and the 40,000 healthcare professionals cross the country who went to help Wuhan, for their tremendous sacrifice and efforts.

      In this local talk, I gave the background, summarized and interpreted the findings. I provided several take home messages and practical recommendations for the current situation in US. http://hsph.me/covid19 .
