1. The CDC:

   It is likely that measures taken to slow or prevent spread of SARS-CoV-2 have had an impact on the spread of other pathogens, including influenza. Measures, including extensive reductions in global travel, teleworking, school closures, social distancing, and face mask use may have played a role, less travel likely played a role.

2. International Health Regulations:

   Achieving higher levels of population immunity globally, either through infection and/or vaccination, may limit the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on morbidity and mortality, but there is little doubt that this virus will remain a permanently established pathogen in humans and animals for the foreseeable future. As such, long-term public health action is critically needed, while eliminating this virus from human and animal reservoirs is highly unlikely, mitigation of its devastating impact on morbidity and mortality is achievable and should continue to be a prioritized goal.

3. Rajiv Biswas:

   The outbreak of a SARS-like coronavirus in Wuhan is developing into a major potential economic risk to the Asia-Pacific region now that there is medical evidence of human-to-human transmission.

4. Tom Dening:

   The study makes the assumption that it is reasonable to gather together studies from the other two major coronavirus epidemics of the last 20 years — SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome — and to combine these with the relatively limited data so far available about the effects of Covid-19 upon mental health, it is probably legitimate to do so, but a casual glance at the paper may suggest that the paper is mainly about Covid-19, whereas most of the data come from the earlier virus outbreaks.

5. Judith Lieberman:

   All the patients we studied had signs of respiratory distress and pneumonia. The ones who had [ SARS-CoV-2 ] had many more of these inflammasomes and dying cells, so it's likely that [ SARS-CoV-2 ] is particularly good at inducing it, but we don't know why.
