This is a case-based learning lesson about COVID-19, a deadly epidemic that has been spreading for months, shutting down countries and crippling society. It spread quickly through some countries such as Iran, Spain, and Italy, while the rate in other countries such as Greece, Iraq, and Singapore was much slower.
