To Deal with a New Coronavirus Pandemic: Making Sense of the Lack of Any State Practice in Pursuing State Responsibility for Alleged Malfeasances in a Pandemic—Lex Specialis or Lex Generalis at Work? 2020.08.23,
https://doi.org/10.1093/chinesejil/jmaa022 .
This article illustrates two ways to see the absence of any State practice in pursuing State responsibility for alleged malfeasances in pandemics. One see the absence as reflecting a lex Specialis, while another see it as reflecting a lex Generalis. The author believe the former appears more consonant with the uniform lack of practice in pursuing State responsibility over the long course of history of dealing with pandemics.

To Fight a New Coronavirus: The COVID-19 Pandemic, Political Herd Immunity, and Global Health Jurisprudence, 2020.8.13,
https://academic.oup.com/chinesejil/article/19/2/207/5891893 .
The collapse of political herd immunity during COVID-19 has epidemiological, geopolitical, ideological, and legal sources. The coronavirus emerged as balance-of-power politics returned to international relations. Ideological differences compounded geopolitical tensions and create divisiveness in domestic politics. In this turbulent context of power and ideas, international law proved vulnerable and inadequate to support robust pandemic cooperation.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in COVID-19: an international cohort study of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry, 2020.09.25,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)32008-0 .
This research shows that in patients with COVID-19 who received ECMO, both estimated mortality 90 days after ECMO and mortality in those with a final disposition of death or discharge were less than 40%. These data from 213 hospitals worldwide provide a generalisable estimate of ECMO mortality in the setting of COVID-19.
