Feedback to Prepare EMS Teams to Manage Infected Patients with COVID-19: A Case Series
From the Abstract: "Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a new respiratory disease, is spreading globally. In France, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) teams are mobile medicalized resuscitation teams composed of emergency physician, nurse or anesthesiologist nurse, ambulance driver, and resident. Four types of clinical cases are presented here because they have led these EMS teams to change practices in their management of patients suspected of COVID-19 infection: cardiac arrest, hypoxia on an acute pneumonia, acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation with respiratory and hemodynamic disorders, and upper function disorders in a patient in a long-term care facility. The last case raised the question of COVID-19 cases with atypical forms in elderly subjects. Providers were contaminated during the management of these patients. These cases highlighted the need to review the way these EMS teams are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, in view of heightening potential for early identification of suspicious cases, and of reinforcing the application of staff protection equipment to limit risk of contamination."

Fiscal Policy and Recovery from the COVID-19 Recession [Updated July 31, 2020]
From the Introduction: "The economic contraction that began in February 2020 differs from previous contractions, including the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Great Recession of 2007-2009. It was caused in large part by concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and government policies aimed at limiting person-to-person contact. [...] This report provides an overview of the state of the economy and summarizes the fiscal measures already taken in response to the current downturn. Many of these responses have largely been aimed at providing economic relief. In the future, policymakers may consider more traditional fiscal policies designed to boost aggregate demand. This report then discusses fiscal policy used during more traditional recessions and recovery, both the theory and empirical evidence, and reviews what types of fiscal policy are likely to be most effective during recovery from a recession. The report concludes with a brief discussion of the pandemic's effect on the debt."

COVID-19 Relief Assistance to Small Businesses: Issues and Policy Options [Updated July 31, 2020]
From the Summary: "The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) administers several types of programs to support small businesses, including direct disaster loan programs for businesses, homeowners, and renters; loan guaranty and venture capital programs; management and technical assistance training programs; and contracting programs. Congressional interest in these programs has always been high, primarily because small businesses are viewed as a means to stimulate economic activity and create jobs, but it has become especially acute in the wake of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic's widespread adverse economic impact on the national economy. This report provides a brief description of the SBA's programs and examines congressional action to assist small businesses during and immediately following the Great Recession (2007- 2009) and during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Global Economic Effects of COVID-19 [Updated July 31, 2020]
From the Document: "Since the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] outbreak was first diagnosed, it has spread to over 200 countries and all U.S. states. The pandemic is negatively affecting global economic growth beyond anything experienced in nearly a century. Estimates so far indicate the virus could trim global economic growth by 3.0% to 6.0% in 2020, with a partial recovery in 2021, assuming there is not a second wave of infections. The economic fallout from the pandemic raises the risks of a global economic recession with levels of unemployment not experienced since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The human costs in terms of lives lost will permanently affect global economic growth in addition to the cost of rising levels of poverty, lives upended, careers derailed, and increased social unrest. Global trade could also fall by 13% to 32%, depending on the depth and extent of the global economic downturn, exacting an especially heavy economic toll on trade-dependent developing and emerging economies. The full impact will not be known until the effects of the pandemic peak. This report provides an overview of the global economic costs to date and the response by governments and international institutions to address these effects."

IRS Guidance Says No Deduction is Allowed for Business Expenses Paid with Forgiven PPP Loans [Updated July 30, 2020]
From the Document: "The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136) created Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to provide short-term, economic relief to certain small businesses and nonprofits. PPP loans can be used to cover payroll expenses and other enumerated operating costs (e.g., rent, utilities) and can be forgiven if the borrower meets certain payroll and employment retention criteria. The loans are capped at $10 million per borrower. [...] On April 30, 2020, IRS [Internal Revenue Service] issued Notice 2020-32, which clarifies the IRS position, under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 265(a)(1), that PPP-recipients cannot claim a deduction for expenses funded from the forgiven PPP loans. IRS's guidance could reduce the perceived economic benefit of PPP loans, and require some taxpayers to alter how they compute their taxes for 2020 compared to previous years. With this said, many businesses could still find that the economic benefits of PPP loans outweigh the potential costs."

Comparing the Congressional Response to the Great Recession and the COVID-19-Related Recession: Unemployment Insurance (UI) Provisions [July 30, 2020]
From the Summary: "In response to recent economic recessions, Congress has enacted temporary measures related to Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs and benefits. These temporary federal provisions have included augmented and extended federal UI benefits, additional funding for state UI administration, and federal financing for certain aspects of UI benefits, among other measures. This report provides a comparative analysis of the temporary UI measures enacted in response to the Great Recession (December 2007-June 2009) and the temporary UI measures enacted in response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]- related recession (February 2020-present), as of this report date. Between July 2008 and December 2012, 12 laws created, amended, or extended temporary federal UI provisions in response to the Great Recession. As of this report date, Congress has enacted two laws that created, amended, or extended temporary federal UI measures in response to the current recession (an additional bill has been passed by the House and the Senate; it currently awaits the President's signature). Understanding the temporary UI provisions that were enacted in response to the Great Recession--as well as how these provisions were structured and how long these provisions were authorized--may be of interest to policymakers considering further temporary UI interventions or alterations to existing temporary provisions in response to the current recession."

From the Document: "The federal response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis has included programs providing economic relief to individuals, businesses, and state and local governments. The recent or looming expiration or exhaustion of several of these programs has generated congressional discussions on the effect that this could have on the U.S. economy's short- and long-term performance. This Insight briefly summarizes the current economic recession and fiscal policy response, highlights some programs that are near expiration or exhaustion of funding, and discusses underlying economic issues."

American Workers, Families, and Employers Assistance Act (S. 4318): Title II--Revenue Provisions and Other 'HEALS Act' Tax Provisions [July 29, 2020]
From the Document: "Congress continues to consider proposals intended to alleviate the economic effects associated with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. One such proposal, the American Workers, Families, and Employers Assistance Act (S. 4318), was introduced in the Senate on July 27, 2020. Title II of S. 4318 contains several provisions that would modify individual and business tax liability, including: [1] a one-time direct payment for eligible individuals, and modifications to the eligibility requirements for direct payments provided in the CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act; [2] tax credits for employers and businesses vulnerable to COVID-19-related interruptions; and [3] clarifications and modifications to other tax provisions enacted through the CARES Act."

COVID-19 and Foreign Assistance: Congressional Oversight Framework and Current Activities [July 29, 2020]
From the Document: "In March 2020, Congress enacted two supplemental appropriations measures that included a combined $1.59 billion for foreign assistance programs to 'prevent, prepare for, and respond to' Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19; P.L. 116-123, P.L. 116-136). Congress established mechanisms to oversee the implementation of these funds, but concerns some have raised about oversight have intensified amid media reporting on the implementation of COVID-19 assistance by the State Department (State) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Some reports suggest that planning and spending practices have left agencies unable to effectively address global COVID-19-related needs. Other stakeholders have expressed frustration with the agencies' public reporting, citing a lack of transparency."

Public Health Preparedness: HHS Has Taken Some Steps to Implement New Authority to Speed Medical Countermeasure Innovation
From the Document: "The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as well as past infectious disease outbreaks such as the 2015 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak raise concerns about our nation's vulnerability and capacity to prevent or mitigate potential health effects from exposure to such threats. Medical countermeasures are drugs, vaccines, and devices to diagnose, treat, prevent, or mitigate potential health effects of exposure to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents and emerging infectious diseases, such as influenza pandemics. Our prior work has noted that responding to the ever-changing nature and broad array of CBRN threats often entails developing new technologies and approaches, while the process of researching and developing medical countermeasures is lengthy, complex, and expensive. Further, several challenges, including low profitability, intellectual property rights, and the general lack of a commercial market for some medical countermeasures may reduce incentives for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to invest time and money to develop these products instead of others that may be more profitable."

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) and COVID-19 [Updated July 27, 2020]
From the Document: "The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not currently have a specific standard that protects healthcare or other workers from airborne or aerosol transmission of disease or diseases transmitted by airborne droplets. Some in Congress, and some groups representing healthcare, meat and poultry processing, and other workers, are calling on OSHA to promulgate an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to protect workers from exposure to SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2], the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) gives OSHA the ability to promulgate an ETS that would remain in effect for up to six months without going through the normal review and comment process of rulemaking. OSHA, however, has rarely used this authority in the past--not since the courts struck down its ETS on asbestos in 1983."

PRWORA and the CARES Act: What's the Prospective Power of a 'Notwithstanding' Clause? [July 27, 2020]
From the Document: "Which categories of non-U.S. nationals (aliens) are eligible for the student financial aid, unemployment compensation, and other benefits authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act? Particularly in the case of student financial aid, the question has produced debate and controversy. The CARES Act itself is mostly silent about alien eligibility. The legal debate centers upon a provision from the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, which renders many aliens ineligible for federal public benefits. PRWORA says that its restriction applies 'notwithstanding any other provision of law.' What power does that phrase have to limit eligibility for the benefits created 24 years later in the CARES Act?"

Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings
From the Document: "This document presents considerations from the perspective of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) for implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings. This approach has never been documented and has raised questions and concerns among humanitarian partners who support response activities in these settings. The purpose of this document is to highlight potential implementation challenges of the shielding approach from CDC's perspective and guide thinking around implementation in the absence of empirical data. Considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available."

COVID-19: The Lingering Conflict and the Regional Balance of Power in Yemen
From the Document: "Four main political issues dominate the ongoing conflict in Yemen in the 21st century: (i) the Houthi resistance movement in the city of Sadah starting in 2004, where Shia Zaydi revivalists struggled with the government on mainly regional economic issues; (ii) from 2007 on, the rise of the Southern Movement, a populist protest movement for social justice from Northern Yemen and for local autonomy that has become increasingly more radical - ultimately calling for secession from Northern Yemen; (iii) the Yemen Arab Spring in early 2011 as an emancipatory movement articulated by massive demonstrations in the capital Sana'a and other cities involving hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy protesters, young people, civil society, women, and unemployment people, and demanding equitable employment, access to services, greater autonomy, and resolution of other grievances; and (iv) recently, the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. This explosive mix of grievances has pushed Yemen to become a failed state."

Coronavirus: On Crisis, Emergency, and the Power of Words
From the Document: "Encouraging the public to follow official guidelines was one of the challenges faced by decision makers during the first wave of the Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic in Israel, and the public's failure to follow these guidelines is considered among the reasons for the outbreak of the second wave. This suggests that the leadership has not succeeded in instilling in the public an understanding of the danger of the virus, which requires them to continue to follow the official guidelines. Precise and credible communication plays a critical role in preventing the renewed and uncontrolled spread of the coronavirus. Accordingly, any public appeal to new, required rules of conduct must use a correct lexicon. The term 'crisis' does not encourage a change in behavior, while an alternative term that can serve the leadership when appealing to the public is 'emergency.' Using the concept of an emergency to frame the pandemic can have a dual effect: it can warn people about the pandemic, and at the same time instruct them to change their behavior. Israel's approach to emergency management must take into consideration the cognitive element, which includes terminology suitable for the situation. Appropriate definitions, especially when appealing to the public, are a part the building of a systemic organizational infrastructure for times of emergency and are meant to help increase the public's preparedness and involvement, as well as its mobilization for the collective effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus."
