For rs657152, the overall frequency of protective allele C was 0.5468 (222/406), with the lowest rate found in the critical group (allele frequency (AF) = 0.382, 13/34, Fisher’s exact test P = 0.04896). For rs11385942, the risk allele GA was not detected in any patient ...
To test the impact of population structure on our conclusions, we extended our model to build a meta-population model with two subpopulations: one with high contact rates and the other with low contact rates. We assumed that the official case counts and the Dec. 26 survey data were taken ...
Inadequate tests may miss patients with active infection or falsely categorize patients as having the disease when they do not, further hampering disease control efforts. One type of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) detects the presence of viral proteins (antigens) expressed by the COVID-19 virus in...
citizens - to test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of departure. A CDC spokeswoman declined to comment Monday but the agency said last week that "efforts are currently ongoing in the U.S. to assess the risk reduction associated with testing and other recommended prev...
Veterinarians considering a possible COVID-19 infection in the presented patients and performing a test may thus contribute very usefully to the understanding of the zoonotic potential of SARS-CoV-2. It is now clear that many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 remain asymptomatic while spreading the...
We compute the expected and observed numbers of cases for each cylinder and perform a maximum likelihood test with null hypothesis H0:“There is no difference in risk of COVID-19 between the inside and outside of the cylinder”, and alternative hypothesis HA:“There is a higher risk of CO...
People with COVID-19 can now get antiviral pills to take at home, hopefully avoiding hospitalization. Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently tested positive but is back working at the White House, is an example. “Test-to-treat will be very difficult for uninsured individuals,” predicte...

We excluded individuals with one or more positive tests in the period 31 to 180 days after the first positive test. In this way, we could exclude new onset symptoms that were due to a new SARS-CoV-2 infection and not related to the first SARS-CoV-2 infection (i.e., all positive tes...
theaters, museums or gyms — with or without a test. Access to public services, banks and shops without a negative test was already restricted for the unvaccinated. The Czech Republic, which is seeing its highest case counts of the pandemic, is also tightening requirements along similar lines....
