Living in Boston During COVID-19: Vaccination Planning and Hesitancy
From the Executive Summary: "In the summer of 2020, the Boston Area Research Initiative (BARI) at Northeastern University, the Center for Survey Research (CSR) at University of Massachusetts Boston, and the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) conducted a survey among 1626 Bostonians about their experiences of during the first months of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, including: their ability and tendency to follow social distancing recommendations; attitudes toward regulations; and the economic and personal impacts of the pandemic. In the fall, we followed up with an additional web-based and mailed survey that asked about continued employment, plans for getting the vaccine, mental health, and respondents' perceptions about life in their neighborhood. This fifth report in a series describes Boston respondents' intentions to get the COVID-19 vaccine, when available. In a mail and web-based survey conducted in the September 2020, we asked if respondents plan to get vaccinated--definitely, probably, probably not, or definitely not. In this report, we explore personal characteristics associated with Bostonians' hesitancy to get the vaccine (probably not/definitely not). We also provide information about which respondents are definitely planning to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This information may help identify people who are reluctant to get the vaccine and assist efforts to tailor messages to Boston residents who have reservations about the coronavirus vaccine."

Domestic Military Operations and the Coronavirus Pandemic
From the Introduction: "In response to the novel coronavirus crisis, we are witnessing one of the largest domestic military operations in American history. To date, more than 45,700 Army and Air Force National Guardsmen and women operating under state authorities have been activated. And thousands more federal military forces--to include 5,900 Navy, Air Force and Army Reservists--are supporting the coronavirus response via a variety of missions. The military's coronavirus crisis response is defined by diversity in service, personnel, and mission[.]"

Historical Review of the State Police Powers and Their Relevance to the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020
From the Introduction: "At the time this article was written, in June 2020, the United States was five months into the 2020 COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. The United States Supreme Court, in a divided decision, has turned away a challenge to state authority to impose general public health restrictions that did not exempt religious institutions. While most state and federal courts have also rejected challenges to public health orders, an unprecedented number of courts have sided with the challengers and substituted the courts' judgment on public health safety measures for that of the state or local public authorities. [...] This article is a historical look at the judicial review of public health orders and statutes. Courts have almost always deferred to the judgment of public health authorities or legislatures in public health cases. In only two cases has the Supreme Court found such actions unconstitutional. In both, the Court found that the proffered public health justification was pretextual, with a significant racial/ethnic bias."

Failing Federation: Why Canada is Ineffective at COVID-19
From the Document: "My goal in this article is to explain how Canada's Constitution has come to help--or hinder--an effective response to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. The principal purpose is not to advocate for Canadian law reform, which is clearly necessary. Rather the aim is to explain how health law generally, and the legal and political contours of Canadian federalism more specifically, have acted as a brake on the country's response to COVID-19, which, while better than that of the United States, is still so shockingly bad as to deserve no emulation. Both countries have failed at COVID-19 and are examples of how not to prepare for and respond to pandemic emergencies. Indeed, it is difficult to find countries, even much more severely affected ones, whose performance at tamping down the epidemic has been worse."

Access to Public Records and the Role of the News Media in Providing Information About COVID-19
From the Introduction: "The response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has affected all facets of society in the United States, but especially the ways in which we work. Reporters and members of the news media have been confronted with special legal and practical challenges over the last months, from trying to determine whether they are 'essential' and therefore exempt from mandatory shelter-in-place orders, to covering court proceedings that have moved to phone or video conferencing. Moreover, some of the most crucial tools reporters use to gather information--public records and open meetings laws--have also seen significant and worrying disruptions. These laws, which serve as vital avenues for ensuring the free flow of information about what the government is doing, have suffered greatly during the course of the public health crisis. This article surveys and analyzes the impacts of the pandemic on public access to government records and meetings in the United States. As we show, many government entities have impaired key fixtures of transparency by weakening or suspending public records and open meetings laws, as well as their compliance with them, at a time when doing so stands both to threaten basic institutions of open government and exacerbate the public health crisis. We also focus on the special role of the news media in disseminating information about COVID-19, arguing that this function has important consequences for efforts to curb the spread of the disease, as well as for government accountability."

U.N. Peacekeeping in a Time of Pandemic: Reconciling Armed Conflict Management While Helping to Fight COVID-19
From the Document: "Following China's report regarding the outbreak of the coronavirus in that country at the end of December 2019, the World Health Organization [WHO] declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) at the end of January 2020. On March 11, 2020, after the virus had spread to more than 100 countries, the WHO declared the outbreak a pandemic. [...] In mid-March 2020, the United Nations began issuing guidance to its staff and personnel on how to respond to the pandemic, both at headquarters and in the field. [...] Other guidance addresses such matters as alternative working arrangements, telecommuting, reimbursement of expenses for cancellation/disruption of official travel due to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], danger pay, Medevac in the con- text of COVID-19, the use of face masks, routine pre- and post-deployment quarantine of uniformed personnel, and quarantine of non-sick U.N. personnel. Some are specific to U.N. Police (UNPOL), others to particular U.N. peacekeeping missions. More specifically, with respect to peacekeeping operations, new U.N. policy and guidance address administrative and logistical issues relating to the protection of mission personnel, and offer advice to Member States hosting the missions in meeting the challenges of the pandemic."

Falsehoods and the Patois of Pandemics-- A Playbook
From the Document: "Dr. Richard Goodman did more than just help cobble together the lectures of Brachman and others lectures for the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] 'Manual's' first edition. He also felt strongly that there needed to be a chapter on the law. 'We had a public health corps that was using powerful legal authorities but [was] never trained in the law,' Goodman told us. 'We wanted to remedy that.' Goodman actually went to law school part time so he could better understand the legal authorities public health officials could wield. Students of American constitutional law will be quite familiar with the patchwork of authorities cited in the 'Manual'. The government's power to protect public health and safety is shared by federal and state authorities. At the federal level, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to provide for the 'general Welfare of the United States,' and the Commerce Clause allows for the oversight of health-related activities for public safety. Legislation must fit under the enumerated powers and not run afoul of the Bill of Rights, as understood and interpreted by the Supreme Court. To communicate or enforce its powers, the federal and state governments can use statues, regulations, proclamations, press conferences, and executive orders. Or, what has been the latest form of communications--social media. As has been evident during the current COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, the 'police power' of the state, which may be exercisable by a governor, is 'extensive.'"

They Blamed Me Because I Am Asian: Findings from Youth-Reported Incidents of Anti-AAPI Hate
From the Introduction: "In the summer of 2020, under the guidance of San Francisco State Professor Russell Jeung and with the support of the Jeremy Lin Foundation, a group of 87 Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth had the opportunity to work together on a participatory research campaign. During the rise of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], we witnessed a pattern of anti-Asian hate--in the news, from friends, and in some cases, through personal experience. We wanted to find out whether there actually was an increase in hate speech and harassment against AAPI folks, and determine if there were any triggers for this increase. The Stop AAPI Hate Youth Campaign brought together 87 AAPI high school interns nationwide, led by 12 team coordinators, in the summer of 2020. The campaign was launched by the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council, Chinese for Affirmative Action, and Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University in March 2020. Over the summer we, the youth, interviewed 990 AAPI young adults about their experiences and feelings related to racism during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 10 of us have written this report based on our findings."

Resetting Our Response: Changes Needed in the US Approach to COVID-19
From the Introduction: "The impact of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic in the United States has been profound. Despite initial declines in cases in May 2020 following implementation of stringent stay-at-home orders, cases are resurging in most states. The number of deaths has been rising in many states, with hospitalization rates for COVID-19 now again matching or exceeding numbers seen at the peak in New York City in March and April. Hospitals are under pressure or approaching a crisis in many places around the country. This resurgence is stressing many sectors of society, from businesses to education to health care. Unlike many countries in the world, the United States is not currently on course to get control of this epidemic. [...] This brief report describes concrete policy actions at the federal, state, and local levels that are needed to get control of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Recommendations identify 'quarterbacks,' or responsible designees, to lead each policy action. However, leaders and stakeholders at all levels (federal, state, and local) will need to contribute commitment, technical expertise, insights, and funding to make the proposed actions possible."

Quality of Life During COVID-19: Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Direct Support Professionals
From the Abstract: "People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (PWIDD) and the direct support professionals (DSPs) who support them have faced unique risks throughout the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. We used a rapid mixed methods approach to understand how COVID-19 has impacted overall quality of life (QoL) among these populations. We quantitatively assessed changes in QoL among a sample of PWIDD and DSPs (n = 137) using a retrospective pretesting approach. We then conducted a rapid qualitative inquiry study with a sample of survey respondents (n = 12) to gain deeper perspective. Findings suggested that participants experienced significant decreases (p < .001) in all four measured domains of QoL. Participants qualitatively described that decreases in QoL were influenced primarily by reduced socialization and impacts on health and independence; however, participants also described the ways their interactions and mutual support for each other helped to preserve some aspects of QoL. Participants described numerous ways race and racism contributed to their COVID-19 experiences, and offered descriptions of resources they benefited from, and those they lacked, during this time. Study findings have the potential to inform development of policies and best practices that support PWIDD and DSPs during and following similar infectious disease emergencies."

Tolerance for Uncertainty: A COVID-19 Workbook
From the Document: "Like many of you, I am experiencing anxiety related to all the unknowns associated with the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. We like stability, routine, and a sense of control over our environments and experience tremendous stress when there are disruptions in our normal lives. [...] I created this workbook to assist you with managing the strong emotions that will arise during this difficult time through a form of psychological treatment called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). DBT is an evidence based intervention that helps individuals identify their feelings and learn skills to better manage their emotions. [...] The current pandemic is an opportunity to learn new skills to accept your feelings, tolerate distress, and move forward with grace despite not knowing what lies ahead."

COVID-19 - A Plague of Racism and Conspiracy Theories
From the Executive Foreword: "COVID [coronavirus disease 2019] completely turned the world upside down and arguably changed how we live our lives forever. Such major cataclysms always provide a fertile ground for hate and conspiracy theories. People, especially when they feel insecure, look for easy answers, people that they can blame, straightforward theories so they can make sense of the world once more. The pandemic has not been different. Multiple communities have been targets of vicious verbal racist attacks, discrimination has become rampant towards certain minorities and a myriad of conspiracy theories blossomed in the wake of the virus. Many of our members diligently documented the instances of hate speech related to the Corona virus and the conspiracy theories it gave birth to. In this report, their findings will be collected, compiled and presented to provide stakeholders and the public with an extensive and overarching view of the situation and shine a light on the hardships, discrimination and intimidation that multiple communities have to face in a time when they are struggling too with a loss of financial and physical security. The aim of this report is not to give a detailed reiteration of our members' findings, but to provide an overview of them, raise awareness and provide another tool to bring this information to the wider audiences that might not have been reached by the original sources."

Overview of the Dynamic Between the Defense Production Act and Small Contractors, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure of the Committee on Small Business, United States House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixteenth Congress, Second Session, June 24, 2020
This is the June 24, 2020 hearing "Overview of the Dynamic Between the Defense Production Act and Small Contractors," held before the House Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure of the Committee on Small Business. From the opening statement of Jared Golden: "The Defense Production Act, or DPA, was enacted 70 years ago, after the outbreak of the Korean War, in an effort to spur industrial production to meet wartime needs. At that time, the Nation was ill prepared for another war following World War II. To bolster our country's defense infrastructure, the President requested authorities to mobilize our domestic industry to increase production of military equipment and much needed supplies. Since then, its authorities have been expanded to include a number of purposes, including emergency preparedness and response. [...] [T]oday's hearing will serve as an opportunity to examine the DPA and its main authorities, including those provisions in the law that establish a preference for small firms. Additionally, we hope to discuss potential legislative measures to strengthen the DPA for small businesses. Finally, we wish to hear more about the challenges that small businesses are facing due to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and how leveraging Title III authorities could provide substantial relief." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Ian Patterson, David Black, Mary Lockhart, and Traci Tapani.

Living in Boston During COVID-19: Fear and Ambivalence
From the Executive Summary: "In the Summer of 2020, the Boston Area Research Initiative (BARI) at Northeastern University, the Center for Survey Research (CSR) at University of Massachusetts Boston, and the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) conducted a survey that captures the experiences of 1626 Bostonians during the first months of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, including: their ability and tendency to follow social distancing recommendations; attitudes towards regulations; and the economic and personal impacts of the pandemic. The survey provides unique insights into how these factors varied across the populations and neighborhoods of a single city--something not currently available from any other source, in Boston or otherwise. In this second report, we describe what we see as contrasting themes of fear and ambivalence among Bostonians. On the one hand, there appears to be broad consensus that the virus is dangerous, that social distancing guidelines are important, that masks should be worn and high-risk activities avoided, and that asymptomatic spread is a concern. However, there was much deviation from this consensus, and these views varied substantially by neighborhood, race, and income. This variation can help us to understand the vulnerabilities that different communities face as cases surge this winter."

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) [Fact Sheet]
From the Document: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak of novel coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and continues to expand. As news spread, military health officials say that an informed, common sense approach minimizes the chances of getting sick. Anyone contracting a respiratory illness shouldn't assume novel coronavirus; it is far more likely to be a more common malady. In fact, influenza is far more commonplace. However, patients who traveled to China in the past 14 days with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, should seek medical care right away. Because novel coronavirus is new, there is as yet no immunization nor specific treatment. Care providers are instead treating the symptoms--acetaminophen to reduce fever, lozenges and other treatments to soothe sore throats, and, for severe cases, ventilators to help patients breathe."

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
From the Overview: "This webpage provides information for workers and employers about the evolving coronavirus outbreak first identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The information includes links to interim guidance and other resources for preventing exposures to, and infections with, 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Chinese authorities identified the new coronavirus, which has resulted in confirmed human infections in China and exported cases outside of China, including in the United States, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. China also has reported spread of the virus from infected patients to healthcare workers. There is no evidence of ongoing transmission of 2019-nCoV in the United States at this time. Without sustained human-to-human transmission, most American workers are not at significant risk of infection. However, workers involved in airline operations (including cabin crewmembers), healthcare (including clinical laboratory personnel), and border protection may have exposure to travelers infected with the virus in China or other affected areas. Business travelers from the United States who visit areas abroad where the virus is spreading may also be at some risk of exposure."

Crisis and Loss of Control: German-Language Digital Extremism in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic
From the Overview: "This report analyses the networks and narratives of German-speaking right-wing extremist, left-wing extremist and Islamist extremist actors on mainstream and alternative social media platforms and extremist websites in the context of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. Our results show that extremists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been able to increase their reach since the introduction of the lockdown measures. However, this growth is not evenly distributed across the different ideologies and platforms. During the crisis, right-wing extremists gained more followers than left-wing extremists and Islamists. The channels of far-right conspiracy theorists grew disproportionately on alternative platforms such as Telegram, especially in the two months immediately following the introduction of the lockdown measures. The report shows that extremists interpret the COVID-19 pandemic along pre-existing ideological lines, and draw upon previous narratives and scapegoats and link these to the current crisis. Right-wing extremists use the crisis to mobilise against minorities and the government, left-wing extremists place the pandemic in an economic and anti-capitalist context, and Islamist extremists interpret the crisis primarily along religious lines."

Strategic Vision for Biological Threat Reduction: The U.S. Department of Defense and Beyond
From the Webpage Description: "The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was asked to articulate a 5-year strategic vision for international health security programs and provide findings and recommendations on how to optimize the impact of the Department of Defense (DOD) Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) in fulfilling its biosafety and biosecurity mission. Because BTRP is just one of several U.S. government programs conducting international health security engagement, both the strategic vision and the success of the program rely on coordinating actions with the U.S. government as a whole and with its international partners. This report provides several recommendations for optimizing BTRP success in its current mission and the wider-looking strategic vision it proposes."
