Spatial-temporal variations of atmospheric factors contribute to SARS-CoV-2 outbreak 2020-05-01 .txt text/plain 5723 309 55 While it is possible to reason that observed variation in the number and severity of cases stem from the initial number of infected individuals, the difference in the testing policies and social aspects of community transmissions, the factors that could explain high discrepancy in areas with a similar level of healthcare still remain unknown. A generalized Poisson model was fitted to estimate the association among the data showing the number of infected cases per million and the atmospheric factors. Binary classifier based on an artificial neural network (ANN) was implemented to test the capacity of the atmospheric variables to predict the epidemic escalation of the number of positive cases per million on the basis of a combination of where l= PM2.5, PM10, NH 3 dM A l and O 3 . The expected number of infected cases in the total of 107 Italian provinces were predicted for the months of March (Spring), June (Summer), September (Autumn) and December (Winter) using the real measured values for PM2.5 and O 3 atmospheric factors from 2018 seasonal datasets. ./cache/cord-271027-4omocd8q.txt ./txt/cord-271027-4omocd8q.txt
