situations (e.g., after the epidemic outbreak in Italy in February 2020), the information from media [3, 4] was used. The number of cases in Europe was taken from
[5]. The accumulated number of cases in Wuhan (China) in December 2019 and
January 2020 was calculated with the use of daily data reported in [6] (see
Table 1.2).
Some data sets or their parts will be used for calculations, some of them only for
verifications of calculations and comparisons. For example, most of the values W j
and W j + Q j shown in Table 1.2 were used in two SIR simulations of epidemic
dynamics in mainland China, some of them to verify the reliability of these calculations, and the values V j (also listed in Table 1.2) only for comparisons. All data
used for calculations will be given in the relevant tables.
