Forecasting cannot foresee COVID-19 infection rates peaking or plateauing. During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Joseph Lee McCauley, a physics professor at the…
None of the mutations currently documented in the SARS-CoV-2 virus appear to increase its transmissibility in humans, according to a study led by University College…
Face masks slow spread of COVID-19; types of masks, length of use matter. The use of face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19…
Algorithm outperformed thoracic radiologists in detecting COVID-19 in new study. Algorithm was trained, tested on the largest COVID-era dataset (17,002 X-ray images) Algorithm analyzed X-ray…
TB Vaccine Linked to Lower Risk of Contracting COVID-19 A widely used tuberculosis vaccine is associated with reduced likelihood of contracting COVID-19 (coronavirus), according to…
A new assessment tool developed by Kaiser Permanente researchers and physicians helps guide clinical decisions in emergency departments and urgent care centers. A study published…
Structural insights about a deadly bacterium’s toolbox point to ways to block it. The bacterium that causes the tick-borne disease tularemia is a lean, mean…
New insights into the local transmission of seasonal influenza may be valuable for planning interventions to combat the spread of respiratory diseases within cities, according…
Scientists at Goethe University within the international consortium COVID19-NMR refine previous 2D models. For the first time, an international research alliance has observed the RNA…
Learning how SARS-CoV-2 highjacks host cell machineries will help to develop therapeutic strategies. As the global coronavirus pandemic continues, scientists are not only trying to…
The cell membrane is the cell’s outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease. Cell membranes are just a few…
In response to the critical shortage of nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Radiology at University of South Florida (USF)…
Proven model developed by WashU predicts 20 million infected Americans by late January. Presumptive president-elect Joe Biden has signaled that fighting the COVID-19 pandemic will…
National Poll: Over half of parents say it’s important for children to see extended family and share in holiday rituals but many also want to…
Stopping the replication of SARS-CoV-2 is likely possible thanks to a compound called EBSELEN: a group of researchers from the Politecnico di Milano has communicated…
Study shows test turnaround-time, frequency far more important than sensitivity in curbing spread. Testing half the population weekly with inexpensive, rapid-turnaround COVID-19 tests would drive…
Scientists studying the aerodynamics of infectious disease share steps to curb transmission during indoor activities. Wear a mask. Stay six feet apart. Avoid large gatherings….
Without urgent action superbugs will kill 22,000 Australians a year by 2040 A comprehensive national database is needed to capture infection rates and arrest the…
