CONCLUSIONS: Meagre government-provided formal supports may adversely impact the health and wellbeing of self-employed workers. This study points to ways that statutory social protection programs should be decoupled from benefits provided by

The present study aimed to estimate the infection fatality risk (IFR) and ascertainment bias of SARS-CoV-2 for six epidemic waves in Japan from February 2020 to January 2022. We used two types of datasets: (i) surveillance-based datasets containing

A full understanding of the characteristics of Covid-19 patients with a better chance of experiencing poor vital outcomes is critical for implementing accurate and precise treatments. In this paper, two different advanced data-driven statistical

CONCLUSIONS: Implementing a policy that empowers respiratory therapists to promote adherence to AARC Clinical Guidelines reduced low-value therapies, costs, and staffing needs.

At present, the conventional method for detecting COVID-19 infection is reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) performed on nasopharyngeal and pharyngeal swabs. In addition, other detection techniques such as isothermal nucleic acid

CONCLUSION: SARS-CoV-2 reinfections increased during Omicron predominance. Hybrid immunity provides protection against reinfection and associated severe COVID-19, with potential benefit from heterologous booster schedules.

Multiple studies revealed detrimental effects of face masks on communication, including reduced empathic accuracy and enhanced listening effort. Yet, extant research relied on artificial, decontextualised stimuli, which prevented assessing empathy

CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights that COVID-19 can cause ED and that disease-induced anxiety and depression serve as primary contributors to ED.
