What is it about?
The basic reproduction number of the new coronavirus disease was estimated for multiple countries using the SIRD model. The values ranged from 1.0011 to 2.7936, indicating that the disease is epidemic in all countries. The ratio between recovery and mortality rates varied from 1.5905 to 44.0805.

Why is it important?
The SIRD epidemiology model is used to estimate the R0 for multiple countries. The R0 values for the new coronavirus disease in India, the Syrian Arab Republic, the United States, Yemen, China, France, Nigeria, and Russia range from 1.0011 to 2.7936. The R0 values for all considered countries are above 1, indicating that the new coronavirus disease is epidemic in these countries.
Perspectives
The basic reproduction number (R0) is an important factor in predicting the spread of the new coronavirus disease.
