to Dec. 2022, during a period when China moved from having strict COVID-19 policies (‘zero-COVID’), to little-to-no intervention efforts. We found that after full exit from zero-COVID, the Omicron variant spread at a very high rate of 0.42/day, with a doubling time of 1.6 days,...
Working in the emergency room a health care worker does not know what type of illness a patient has until testing, in the meantime with frontline exposure to all types of diseases then going home with the possibility of spreading the disease. Some physicians have left the field because of ...
These 17 contacts originated from four cases who used the app (figure), and all completed their quarantine period without testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, hence no public exposure event was prevented by the app during the study period. One or more of the following applied for all these 17 ...
Based on what is known about similar coronaviruses, the longest potential incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to be 14 days from initial exposure [4,6]. The mean incubation period is 5.2 days (95% CI 4.1–7.0) but can range from 2 to 14 days [4,20,43]. Co-infections occur ...
We explore the relative weighting of risks and benefits in globalized countries who balance the economic, social, and political benefits of globalization with a higher risk of coronavirus emergence, spread, and extended exposure. Understanding which factors of globalization (i.e., social, economic, ...
You know you’ll feel better after you scratch that itch… SELL IT ALL! Who knows where this will end? Your brother-in-law who took a biology class twenty years ago said that we might all go to the great tax haven in the sky – so it must be true!
MHD patients have a high risk of exposure to infections because most of them have been treated as in-center patients. It was not feasible for MHD patients to carry out social isolation rules to prevent exposure as they need to travel three times a week to the hemodialysis centers [2]. ...

However, banks will find it hard to move too far in reducing their exposure to risk given that governments and regulators are likely to expect them to actively support the economy through (in most countries, only partially guaranteed) lending programs and other help for customers. A similar...
