In December 2019, China announced the breakout of a new virus identified as coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), which soon grew exponentially and resulted in a global pandemic. Despite strict actions to mitigate the spread of the virus in various countries, COVID-19 resulted in a significant loss of human life in 2020 and early 2021. To better understand the dynamics of the spread of COVID-19, evidence of its chaotic behavior in the US and globally was evaluated. A 0-1 test was used to analyze the time-series data of confirmed daily COVID-19 cases from 1/22/2020 to 12/13/2020. The results show that the behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic was chaotic in 55% of the investigated countries. Although the time-series data for the entire US was not chaotic, 39% of individual states displayed chaotic infection spread behavior based on the reported daily cases. Overall, there is evidence of chaotic behavior of the spread of COVID-19 infection worldwide, which adds to the difficulty in controlling and preventing the current pandemic.
2019年12月,中国宣布发现一种新型病毒,即冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2(新冠病毒),该病毒迅速呈指数级传播,导致全球大流行。尽管各国采取了严格措施来减缓病毒传播,但新冠病毒在2020年和2021年初仍造成了重大人员伤亡。为了更好地了解新冠病毒的传播动态,对其在美国和全球的混沌行为证据进行了评估。采用0-1检验分析了2020年1月22日至2020年12月13日期间每日新冠确诊病例的时间序列数据。结果表明,在55%的被调查国家中,新冠疫情的行为是混沌的。尽管美国整体的时间序列数据并非混沌,但根据每日报告病例,39%的州呈现出混沌的感染传播行为。总体而言,有证据表明新冠病毒感染在全球范围内的传播具有混沌行为,这增加了控制和预防当前大流行的难度。
