How Is COVID-19 Changing Americans' Online Shopping Habits?

Show summary Open resource [html] (open full abstract)
From the Document: "Online shopping was increasing gradually even before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began. With stay-at-home orders in place around the country, a huge increase in people ordering everything from groceries to clothing to household supplies online might be expected. Although shopping habits are complex and the demand for certain goods shifted with the pandemic, the inability to shop in person and the high percentage of American households with access to the internet would suggest a major growth opportunity for online retailers. And yet, according to a recent RAND American Life Panel (ALP) survey of more than 2,000 Americans who were selected to represent all demographic groups, almost two-thirds of the respondents have not changed their online shopping habits since the pandemic began. About one-quarter are shopping online more, but 13 percent are actually shopping online less."

Framework for Assessing Models of the COVID-19 Pandemic to Inform Policymaking in Virginia

Show summary Open resource [html] (open full abstract)
From the Summary: "As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved, we have relied on models to predict the severity of the pandemic, when the pandemic might peak, and what might be done to avoid the worst-case scenario. Modelers have been rushing to respond, but not all models are suitable to inform policy. To make informed decisions, policymakers should have some notion of the variety of models available, the suitability of the model types, and areas of uncertainty for the models. This report describes a framework for assessing the suitability of models for addressing policy-relevant questions and applies the framework to the COVID-19 pandemic in Virginia. This report builds on Gambhir et al., 2015, and Manheim et al., 2016, to develop a specific analytic framework for assessing the suitability of models for use in the COVID-19 pandemic in the state of Virginia. Although those studies considered generic infectious diseases, we are focused on COVID-19. We focus on two phases of the pandemic: the early stage and the late stage."

Managing Infectious Medical Waste During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Document: "During the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] outbreak in Hubei Province, People's Republic of China (PRC), infectious medical waste increased by 600% from 40 tons per day to 240 tons per day. This quickly overwhelmed existing medical transport and disposal infrastructure around hospitals. Other countries will face similar challenges. It is critical that additional waste management systems are put in place to help reduce the further spread of COVID-19 and the emergence of other diseases. To support its developing member countries, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has compiled the following list of considerations and recommendations to enable governments to rapidly respond to these unprecedented challenges."

Preventing the Next Pandemic: Zoonotic Diseases and How to Break the Chain of Transmission

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Introduction: "This report is one of the first that specifically focuses on the environmental side of the zoonotic dimension of disease outbreaks during the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. It tries to fill a critical knowledge gap and provide policymakers with a better understanding of the context and nature of potential future zoonotic disease outbreaks. It examines the root causes of the COVID-19 pandemic and other 'zoonoses,' which the World Health Organization defines as human diseases or infections that are naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. The report also looks at where zoonoses come from and how we can reduce the likelihood of their occurrence. The report explores the role of animals, and in particular non-domestic animals, in emerging infectious human diseases. This is essential for our global efforts to improve our response preparedness because the frequency of spillover of pathogenic organisms jumping from animals to humans has been increasing considerably, due to the growing magnitude of our unsustainable natural resource use in today's world."

Group Testing in a Pandemic: The Role of Frequent Testing, Correlated Risk, and Machine Learning

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Abstract: "Group testing increases efficiency by pooling patient specimens and clearing the entire group with one negative test. Optimal grouping strategy is well studied in one-off testing scenarios with reasonably well-known prevalence rates and no correlations in risk. We discuss how the strategy changes in a pandemic environment with repeated testing, rapid local infection spread, and highly uncertain risk. First, repeated testing mechanically lowers prevalence at the time of the next test. This increases testing efficiency, such that increasing frequency by x times only increases expected tests by around √x rather than x. However, this calculation omits a further benefit of frequent testing: infected people are quickly removed from the population, which lowers prevalence and generates further efficiency. Accounting for this decline in intra-group spread, we show that increasing frequency can paradoxically reduce the total testing cost. Second, we show that group size and efficiency increases with intra-group risk correlation, which is expected in natural test groupings based on proximity. Third, because optimal groupings depend on uncertain risk and correlation, we show how better estimates from machine learning can drive large efficiency gains. We conclude that frequent group testing, aided by machine learning, is a promising and inexpensive surveillance strategy."

Transatlantic Trends 2020: Transatlantic Opinion on Global Challenges Before and After COVID-19

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Foreword: "2020 has been marked by an unprecedented series of political, economic, and societal shocks that have tested the resilience of the transatlantic relationship. From the coronavirus pandemic and its global implications, to regional issues such as the risk of military escalation with Iran, to purely transatlantic matters like the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany, the United States and Europe have experienced a multiplicity of crises that challenge the terms of the transatlantic partnership. [...] The transatlantic community can play an essential role in meeting these challenges, but for us to work in common purpose, we need to understand how those challenges look to our respective societies. [...] This edition of Transatlantic Trends includes the results of surveys conducted in the U.S., France, and Germany, first in January 2020 and then again in May, in order to gauge the Foreword impact of the pandemic on the public perceptions of different foreign policy issues. [...] Divided into five chapters, Transatlantic Trends provides a detailed picture of transatlantic public opinion on core and contemporary issues: the transatlantic relationship, international security and defense, international trade, relations with China, and digital issues."

This is the March 5, 2020 hearing titled "Coronaviruses: Understanding the Spread of Infectious Diseases and Mobilizing Innovative Solutions," held before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. From the opening statement of Ami Bera: "Good morning, and welcome today's hearing on 'Coronavirus: Understanding the Spread of the Infectious Disease, and Mobilizing Innovative Solutions'. I'll recognize myself for an opening statement, and then I'll recognize the Ranking Member for his opening statement, then we'll introduce the witnesses. Again, thank you for being here. Obviously, this is an incredibly timely topic. COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is not the first pandemic we're going to ever deal with, and it certainly is not going to be the last one, but it is incredibly important that we come together as a nation, and as a planet, to get ahead of this, address it, and, you know, come up with the treatment for it. If we think about, you know, the basis of global health security, it's a three-pronged approach, containment, mitigation, and then treatment."

From the Preface: "The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 will reverberate long into the future. International travel is banned and borders are closed. Many of the social interactions that we all enjoy remain on pause. Governments have deliberately shut down whole sections of their economies and a prolonged global economic downturn seems certain. This is a global crisis, but we have all turned inwards, not outwards. No one has looked to the United Nations headquarters in New York for solutions -- or for hope. Instead, we have all fallen back on the nationstate. We have tuned in to speeches by our own national leaders."

Preserving Electoral Integrity During an Infodemic

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Introduction: "As election authorities work to conduct elections safely during the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, their efforts may be undermined if the information space around elections is inadequately defended. Viral misinformation, disinformation campaigns directed by anti-democratic and opportunistic actors and the amplification and weaponization of hate speech create immediate and long-term electoral integrity challenges for democracies. Changes to election procedures due to COVID-19 in particular may provide fertile ground for information manipulation that can disenfranchise or endanger voters. As challenges multiply, authoritarian actors looking to capitalize on the confusion will continue to push narratives to undermine confidence in democratic institutions and processes. This paper will focus on how viral misinformation, hate speech and disinformation-laced influence operations by domestic and foreign actors impact the information environment around COVID-19, with implications for electoral integrity, trust in democracy and the protection of fundamental human rights, including political rights."

Legal Considerations When Delaying or Adapting Elections

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Introduction: "Periodic elections underpin the legitimacy of governments and ensure that power can be preserved or transferred based explicitly on the will of the governed. This foundational principle for democratic systems of governance is being challenged by the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. At the time of writing, the primary response of 57 countries and five territories to the pandemic has been to postpone elections, some indefinitely. Such election postponements may not be clearly provided for or even contemplated in the law, making the decision to delay or cancel an election complex. These decisions are also usually beset with political controversy; this does not argue for a political solution to a legal problem, but it does require a consideration of the political and social context and reinforces the importance of transparency and consultation."

Safeguarding Health and Elections

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Introduction: "Elections usually involve large, nationwide gatherings, not only on Election Day but also, for example, during campaign rallies and voter registration drives. These events increase human-to-human contact and the risks of direct and indirect disease transmission. Few election management bodies (EMBs) have comprehensive plans in place to manage these activities amid widespread disease outbreaks, leading to insufficient time, resources and information to make necessary adjustments and hold election events safely when public health crises suddenly materialize. This has proven to be the case with COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, which has, to this date, forced the postponement of national and subnational elections in nearly 60 countries and territories. Several EMBs that did decide to move forward with elections amid the crisis largely failed to address public concerns about health, leading to low voter turnouts, credibility issues, poll worker dropouts and even the infection of some electoral officials."

What's the Cure? Misinformation and Platform Responses in the Era of COVID-19

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the Executive Summary: "Social media companies have occupied particularly critical roles in the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. Whether in disseminating information or providing new entertainment options while billions of individuals are social distancing, the largest platforms have been stepping up in both predictable and novel ways. There are dozens of technology companies that could be analyzed in the scope of this report. However, because resource constraints inform the range of content moderation options available to smaller companies, this report instead focuses primarily on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube and their steps to combat coronavirus-related abuse on their platforms. As the pandemic pushes more users to online spaces, a concurrent infodemic is pushing waves of false content to those same platforms. The dramatic rise in posts about miracle cures, virus conspiracy theories, and fake reports of draconian government action have led platforms to adopt new products and policies to combat misinformation. These interventions represent a substantial new assumption of responsibility for the accuracy of the content on their sites."

From the Document: "This submission outlines New Mexico's testing accomplishments and plans for May and June 2020 and will be updated to incorporate additional plans for July-December 2020. In order to perform surveillance and epidemiologic analyses aimed at decreasing the incidence and prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] infection in New Mexico and informing ongoing response efforts, New Mexico has developed a testing plan that will: (1) build a sustainable testing capability for both nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) and serum antibody testing (antibody testing); (2) implement robust testing and surveillance in diverse urban, rural and tribal communities that prioritize New Mexico populations most vulnerable to COVID19 [coronavirus disease 2019]; and (3) monitor the disease trajectory and provide data and modeling to provide ongoing data and feedback to enable New Mexico to contain the virus until a vaccine is widely distributed. New Mexico's testing plan is tied directly to the state's work to dramatically increase its case investigation, contact tracing and containment capabilities. Effective early identification of cases on a population basis will allow New Mexico to further open our economy and society while protecting the population from the threat of continuing expansion of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

From the Document: "North Carolina's coordinated testing action plan is a data-driven approach that (1) supports individuals with suspected disease (2) supports proactive management of populations at high risk for infection, and (3) promotes health equity for historically marginalized populations. For May and June, our coordinated testing strategy aim to test at least 2% of North Carolina's population (~210,000 per month) through testing anyone with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and close contacts of known positive cases, regardless of symptoms. As we continue to increase testing for subsequent months, North Carolina will implement a 'bottom-up' approach that uses an estimated daily testing threshold which factors (1) testing estimates by calculating the approximate size of testing cohorts of interest in prioritized populations (2) associated risk, and (3) frequency of testing. As we refine our strategy, additional federal financial and resource support are needed to achieve our increased testing goals."

From the Document: "Testing is a key component for Iowa's plan to recover from the pandemic. Iowa has strived to increase testing capacity since the pandemic arrived here in February 2020. Supply shortages from multiple manufacturers has forced the lab to be able to test for SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] on multiple platforms. The State Hygienic Laboratory (SHL) provides approximately 50% of all the testing performed in Iowa. At this point approximately, 1 in 32 Iowans have been tested and SHL has performed over 45,000 tests. To reach a goal of at least 66,000 tests performed each month by SHL and ramping up to 99,000 tests performed each month, SHL will need to add staff, supplies and equipment and to restructure where testing is performed to meet the needs of Iowa."

It should build and support local capacity to ensure effective and timely public health investigations and ensure that individuals who test positive have the appropriate supports for safe isolation. Particularly as Wisconsin reopens, we anticipate a higher rate of infection and project a demand for more testing. This will allow individuals who are infected and contagious to isolate. Testing is provided free of charge to all individuals. In addition to individuals experiencing any symptom of COVID-19, even mild symptoms, DHS encourages testing for some individuals without symptoms who are prioritized by health departments or clinicians, for any reason, including: public health monitoring, sentinel surveillance, or screening of other asymptomatic individuals according to state and local plans."
