This article reviewed the current situation of coronavirus crisis, as well as policies regarding disease control implemented by China, Italy, UK and U.S. We analysed the coronavirus development trend by visualizing data with Python. We analysed the impact of social distancing and performed simulations of a variety of lockdown circumstances using NetLogo. Throughout our analysis, we examined the importance of social distancing, lockdown and quarantine measures, and extended insights on the ineffectiveness of the UK Covid-19 Tier system.
