Welcome to the discussion

The Crisis Chronology welcomes comments and questions. Be aware that the Crisis Chronology attempts to be fact-based as much as possible in every respect. However, the Crisis Chronology is aware that every event in the world can be seen from multiple perspectives. Opinions are welcome if they add to the understanding of events, but please refrain from partisan politics for its own sake, attacks on others who comment, or offensive language of any kind. The Discussion Page is moderated, and inappropriate comments will be either edited or deleted without discussion.

4/27/20. As of this date, there are confirmed COVID-19 cases in 185 countries. There are about 3,000,000 reported cases and 206,000 deaths. 860,000 are reported to have recovered.

The crisis chronology is unable to adequately represent the degree and breadth of the COVID-19 disease’s effects on the world, since it is supranational. The chronology has attempted to take note of first instances of the disease in countries, the institution of stay-at-home orders (a better term than “quarantine” or “lockdown,” both of which overstate the restrictions, which vary from nation to nation), and the lifting of restrictions. However, it should be noted that numbers of cases and deaths are likely badly undercounted. The first because the availability, quality, and use of test kits varies widely, and the second because many deaths are attributed to other causes even when COVID-19 is a powerful causal contributor. As usual, notes are more complete for larger nations, which is a consequence of international reporting biases. A search for “COVID-19” will find almost all reference to the disease the underlying coronavirus, and the governmental responses.

As some countries begin to see an improvement in the fight against COVID-19, planning turns to how to relax the restrictions on travel and contact. Economies around the world are suffering badly and many face recession, but relaxing the restrictions too quickly or too broadly could allow the disease to increase rapidly. There is also concern that while new cases may drop significantly in warmer weather, there may be a second wave of infections in the fall. No vaccine is expected to be ready until early 2021 or later.

By the middle of 3/20. COVID-19 had been found in nearly every country in the world, and even the ones that were not yet invaded had started protections. Its effects are pervasive: social, economic, and political. The Crisis Chronology is not constructed to deal with such borderless effects. Although we have tried to note the first occurrence of the disease in each country and the day when restrictions were imposed by the government, it has been impossible to keep up with every occurrence, and every repercussion.
