This is because countries greatly 34 differ with respect to population density, disease burden, health care quality, infection control Coronaviruses -drug discovery and 40 therapeutic options Stability of SARS coronavirus in human specimens and 42 environment and its sensitivity to heating and UV irradiation Epidemiology and clinical 45 presentations of the four human coronaviruses 229E, HKU1, NL63, and OC43 detected over 46 3 years using a novel multiplex real-time PCR method The pediatric burden of human coronaviruses 49 evaluated for twenty years Coronaviruses in the Pediatric Population All coauthors contributed to study design Hsu 57 and Hsiao-Chuan Lin interpreted data We declare that all authors have no competing interests Distribution of COVID-19 patients around the world 64 Distribution of local cases of COVID-19 in Taiwan
