What impacts public compliance with COVID-19 restrictions?

New research by scientists at Switzerland's Institute for Environmental Decisions reports that risk perception and public acceptance of NPIs depends on both worldview and levels of social trust. The study also found that, paradoxically, when the number of cases decreased in the period between the first and second waves, public willingness to comply with these measures fell.

Not all experts are ready to vaccinate kids against Covid

Lucien Wiggins, 12, arrived at Tufts Children's Hospital by ambulance June 7 with chest pains, dizziness and high levels of a protein in his blood that indicated inflammation of his heart. The symptoms had begun a day earlier, the morning after his second vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA shot.

Antibody combination REGEN-COV prevents symptomatic disease following SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers in the United States have demonstrated the effectiveness of early treatment with REGEN-COV™ at preventing symptomatic disease among people infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Full vaccination prevents emergency care and hospitalization in cases of breakthrough COVID-19

Researchers in the United States have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines at reducing the need for emergency care or hospitalization following breakthrough infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Study reveals potentially druggable process of SARS-Cov-2 assembly and replication

Of all the proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the pathogen that causes COVID-19), the spike protein is the one that gets the most attention.

Different comorbid conditions in COVID-19 patients can impact outcomes of positive PCR test results

New study results indicate that different comorbid conditions affecting individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 may impact how long they continue to receive positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results.

Researchers prepare for next coronavirus pandemic

Scientists are already preparing for a possible next coronavirus pandemic to strike, keeping with the seven-year pattern since 2004.

New study may lead to more effective and powerful COVID-19 vaccines

A new study looking at the way human cells activate the immune system in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection could open the door to even more effective and powerful vaccines against the coronavirus and its rapidly emerging variants keeping the global pandemic smoldering.

Immune system dysfunction can alter the link between cannabis use and psychosis

The presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the blood can boost the effects of daily cannabis use and heighten the risk of developing psychosis in adulthood.

Long-term exposure to poor air quality increases COVID-19 risk, research finds

Even as governments across the United States consider lifting mask mandates and relaxing preventative measures as vaccination numbers creep up, new research from a UCLA-led team has found that such basic techniques significantly reduce the risk of getting COVID-19.
