Case-Fatality Rate and Characteristics of Patients Dying in Relation to COVID-19 in Italy. Graziano Onder, Giovanni Rezza, Silvio Brusaferro. In JAMA 

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763667

This article shows how Italy has a high proportion of older patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection and that the older population in Italy may partly explain differences in cases and case-fatality rates among countries.

Also, it shows the need for transparency in reporting testing policies, with clear reporting of the denominators used to calculate case-fatality rates and the age, sex, and clinical comorbid status of affected persons when comparing COVID-19 case and mortality rates between different countries and regions. Continued surveillance, with transparent and accurate reporting of patient characteristics and testing policies, is needed from multiple countries to better understand the global epidemiology of COVID-19.

This letter poses the hypothesis of a higher risk and severity of COVID-19 in diabetic patients, and possible interactions with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers (both often used as an arterial hypertension treatment) and other drugs as thiazolidinediones or Ibuprofen.

The Demand for Inpatient and ICU Beds for COVID-19 in the US: Lessons From Chinese Cities. Ruoran, Li, Caitlin Rivers, Qi Tan, Megan B Murray, Eric Toner, and Marc Lipsitch. In Harvard University’s DASH repository  

https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42599304

This article describes the needs of hospital and ICU beds for patients with COVID-19 confirmed in two Chinese cities (Wuhan and Guangzhou) from January 10th to February 29th, 2020, and compares the disease control measures regarding the timing of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 community. From this analysis, the maximum needs of ICU beds in American cities are estimated.
