In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers discuss the limits of the US being prepared for coronavirus and the dangers of being unprepared.
Mathematical model incorporated several strategies to help flatten the COVID-19 curve, focusing on scarcity in hospital resources over two years. The models showed current physical distancing can help maintain healthcare capacity and reduce infections. The model also allowed for periodic economic and psychological breaks from social restrictions.
Social preference in isolated zebrafish is caused by stress and anxiety, not observed anti-social patterns.
As many as two in five Americans report concerns about experiencing increased anxiety in the wake of coronavirus. 68% of people feel like everything is out of their control. 38% of Americans report feeling optimistic about the country's recovery, believing we will come out of the pandemic stronger than before.
Over 50% of people surveyed reporting they feel uneasy about returning to in-person interactions, regardless of vaccination status, following covid lockdowns. Researchers share their thoughts on how social isolation and resocialization could impact the brain.
Researchers have analyzed the potential outcomes of public health measures on slowing and suppressing the spread of COVID-19.
Many of us feel obligated to perform acts for loved ones, such as calling more frequently or running an errand for an elderly friend, during this time of social distancing. Researchers report low-level obligations and acts of kindness can help strengthen relationships, while more substantive obligations can put a strain on relationships.
Preliminary results from a new model suggest the COVID-19 lockdown should last for more than six weeks. The advice is based on data which shows it takes countries almost three weeks to see a growth rate staying below 10% and doubling time over seven days. It takes a month to keep the growth rate under control and at 1%, and 45 days to achieve containment.
New coronavirus model finds case spread is concave, meaning the impact of one more infected person diminishes as more people become infected.
The misconception that young people are more immune to COVID-19 is dangerous, and ignoring social distancing measures means the virus is more likely to spread among the young.
Implementing strong physical distancing measures across Europe to suppress the spread of COVID-19 has averted over 100,000 deaths, a new model finds.
Study explores the wide-ranging, negative effects of social isolation on both psychological and physiological well-being.
