cord-221131-44n5pojb	Zullo, Federico	Some numerical observations about the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy	2020-03-25		.txt	text/plain	2429	118	62	Since the start of the epidemic in China, a certain number of studies appeared in the mathematical community about this subject: the description of the spatial or temporal diffusion of the infected in given regions [4] , [8] [10] , the transmission dynamics of the infection [6] , the economic and financial consequences of the epidemic [1] , the effect of atmospheric indicators on the spread of the virus [5] , are only a fraction of the topics under investigation in these days. The reasonable assumption that the same fraction (with respect to the total) of infected, susceptible and recovered individuals are known, gives the possibility, in this case, to compare the measured data with the properties that are scale-independent. The second hypothesis is fundamental since we are going to look at scale-independent quantities: even in the case the measured number of infected and recovered individuals are different from the actual values, it is possible to estimate these quantities.	./cache/cord-221131-44n5pojb.txt	./txt/cord-221131-44n5pojb.txt
