DESCRIPTION:The appearance of a novel coronavirus in late 2019
  radically changed the community of researchers wo
 rking on coronaviruses since the 2002 SARS epidemi
 c and international connections. In 2020\, coronav
 irus-related publications grew by 20 times over th
 e previous two years\, with 130\,000 more research
 ers publishing on related topics. The United State
 s\, the United Kingdom and China led dozens of nat
 ions working on coronavirus prior to the pandemic\
 , but leadership consolidated among these three na
 tions in 2020\, which collectively accounted for 5
 0% of all papers\, garnering well more than 60% of
  citations. China took an early lead on COVID-19 r
 esearch\, but dropped rapidly in production and in
 ternational participation through the year. Europe
  showed an opposite pattern\, beginning slowly in 
 publications but growing in contributions during t
 he year. The share of internationally collaborativ
 e publications dropped from pre-pandemic rates\; s
 ingle-authored publications grew. For all nations\
 , including China\, the number of publications abo
 ut COVID track closely with the outbreak of COVID-
 19 cases. Lower-income nations participate very li
 ttle in COVID-19 research in 2020. Subsequent revi
 ews of China&rsquo\;s distribution of its domestic
 ally created vaccine show patterns of distribution
  more consistent with political interests than wit
 h scientific or humanitarian ones.
