leading to more severe infections and deaths even in places with high vaccination coverage. This study aims to assess the spatiotemporal variability of the COVID-19 pandemic and estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR), infection attack rate...
To investigate COVID-19 infection infection rates among medical students and whether there is difference between preclinical and clinical students’ infection rate. Methods The study is a cross-sectional study, designed to (1) determine the incidence of COVID-19 in clinical and preclinical medical ...
One, this work is based on the state-level reported case number of confirmed patients, which does not characterize the actual number of cases or severity of COVID-19. Other epidemiologically important attributes such as the generation time, infection rate and incubation period17 could be ...

the infection rate may slow; therefore, we included the share of susceptible individuals in the regressions. We estimated the dependent variables of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations with a one-week lag to account for the latency period of infection. Finally, we added state fixed effects and ...
Risk factors for severe COVID-19 disease include advanced age, chronic medical conditions, immunocompromise, and cancer [46]. Data regarding pregnancy and COVID-19 are limited [47]. Pregnant women and fetuses may be more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection compared to the general population [48]...
To perform the present meta-analysis, we collected published papers and preprints on the seroprevalence and/or infection fatality rate of COVID-19 that were publicly disseminated prior to 18 September 2020. As described in Supplementary Appendix B, we systematically performed online searches in MedRx...
Veterans with COVID-19 had an unadjusted mortality rate of 8.7% during the 2-year period after the initial infection compared with 4.1% among uninfected comparators, with censoring if the comparator later developed COVID-19—an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 2.01 (95% CI, 1.98-2.04). The...
Bars and restaurants were allowed to reopen on December 3 when infection rates were on the decline, but they were forced to shut their doors again on December 27 when cases started to rise again. Mr Babiš has called the decision “frustrating but necessary”, and has said the government ...
rate of death per infection than COVID-19, but by 2022, COVID-19 was far lower for children. An analysis from Germany found that the risk of death to a healthy child, during the height of the pandemic and pre-vaccine June 2020–May 2021, with COVID-19 was 3 in 1,000,000 (Sorg...
