Title A name given to the resource Why airborne transmission hasn't been conclusive in case of COVID-19? An atmospheric science perspective. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kirpa Ram, Roseline C Thakur, Dharmendra Kumar Singh, Kimitaka Kawamura, Akito Shimouchi, Yoshika Sekine, Hidekazu Nishimura, Sunit K Singh, Chandra Mouli Pavuluri, R S Singh, S N Tripathi Description An account of the resource Airborne transmission is one of the routes for the spread of COVID-19 which is caused by inhalation of smaller droplets1 containing SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., either virus-laden particulate matter: PM and/or droplet nuclei) in an indoor environment. Notably, a significant fraction of the small droplets, along with respiratory droplets, is produced by both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals during expiratory events such as breathing, sneezing, coughing and speaking. When these small droplets are exposed to the ambient environment, they may interact with PM and may remain suspended in the atmosphere even for several hours. Therefore, it is important to know the fate of these droplets and processes (e.g., physical and chemical) in the atmosphere to better understand airborne transmission. Therefore, we reviewed existing literature focussed on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the spread of COVID-19 and present an environmental perspective on why airborne transmission hasn't been very conclusive so far. In addition, we discuss various environmental factors (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc.) and sampling difficulties, which affect the conclusions of the studies focussed on airborne transmission. One of the reasons for reduced emphasis on airborne transmission could be that the smaller droplets have less number of viruses as compared to larger droplets. Further, smaller droplets can evaporate faster, exposing SARS-CoV-2 within the small droplets to the environment, whose viability may further reduce. For example, these small droplets containing SARS-CoV-2 might also physically combine with or attach to pre-existing PM so that their behaviour and fate may be governed by PM composition. Thus, the measurement of their infectivity and viability is highly uncertain due to a lack of robust sampling system to separately collect virions in the atmosphere. We believe that the present review will help to minimize the gap in our understanding of the current pandemic and develop a robust epidemiological method for mortality assessment.

Title A name given to the resource Why communities must be at the centre of the Coronavirus disease 2019 response: Lessons from Ebola and human immunodeficiency virus in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Oliver Johnson, Tinashe Goronga Description An account of the resource As the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread globally, with no effective treatment or vaccine yet available, governments in many countries have put in place social interventions to control the outbreak. The various lockdown measures may have devastating impacts on economies and livelihoods. This approach risks undermining public trust in government responses and therefore undermines efforts to promote behaviour change, which is key to the success of social interventions. Important lessons can be drawn from past Ebola outbreaks and the human immunodeficiency virus pandemic on how communities should be central to COVID-19 responses. Communities are complex and only their members can inform public health experts about their lived realities, the community’s understanding of the outbreak and what will work locally to reduce transmission. The public should be encouraged to take positive actions to ensure their own health and well-being, rather than made to feel powerless. Communities should be supported to develop their own response plans, community leaders should be recognised as vital assets, community representatives should have equal inclusion in strategic meetings and greater empathy should be built into decision-making processes.

Title A name given to the resource Why COVID-19? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Elnaz Vahidi, Mohammad Jalili Description An account of the resource COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), an enveloped positive stranded RNA virus and the third member of the family Coronaviridae which has emerged as a zoonotic infection. The predecessor of this new pathogen caused the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012. Although corona viruses have been known since 1960’s, their familiar species were human pathogens and caused common cold and seasonal flu. SARS-CoV-2 is easily transmitted via respiratory secretions of an infected person, with a reproductive number (the average number of cases to which a single infected person will transmit the virus) of 1.4-2.5. Covid-19 has been estimated to have a case fatality rate of around 3%. As of today, asymptomatic transmission is assumed to be possible during the incubation period, which usually ranges from 2-14 days. The source of infection, animal host, and reservoir are currently unknown. In late December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was reported from Wuhan city, China. The disease soon spread outside China borders and became rapidly prevalent all around the world. The pandemic announcement was officially made by World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. Today COVID-19 has affected more than 212 countries and has made billions of people to be quarantined in their houses. Up to now, almost 1500000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported globally and the death toll has been declared to be 86000. In Iran, we are also facing this unprecedented global public health emergency, with about 65000 confirmed cases and 3993 deaths. This pandemic is beyond an expanding contagious disease and has influenced different features of life. Its enormous social, political, and specifically economic impacts all around the world are undeniable. In low- and middle-income countries this can potentially lead to a huge spike in poverty and collapse. Many vulnerable families have lost their income and access to the essential needs. Education systems have collapsed in many regions. The long-term effect of this global crisis has reduced economic growth even in developed countries. Economic effects of COVID-19 are estimated with dramatic variations. Orlik et al in Bloomberg hypothesized this cost to be $2.7 trillion. The political consequences are even harder to predict but quite significant and devastating, like the heated discussion, criticism and accusation flowing between the leaders of different countries. Since the pandemic is not yet over, the global influence will carry on to happen and make situation even more complicated. While the outbreak is evolving rapidly, health care systems across the world are actively fighting against the new virus. They have encountered many new challenges. Public health measures (such as active case finding, prompt isolation of cases and contacts tracing) to contain the spread of the disease in the society as well as provision of care for the unpredictably high number of people who are infected with the virus have stretched the healthcare system beyond its capacity. At the same time, protecting health care providers’ safety, which often requires provision of sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment, has definitely challenged the system. Societal demand for discovery of a definitive treatment and vaccine has also added to the complexity of the situation that the health care systems are facing. Studies about COVID-19 are increasingly being performed and published; many of them have not yet been fully reviewed and criticized by the academic community. Practitioners often find it difficult to find, appraise and apply the information they need amid the turbulence of their clinical practice. Furthermore, there are still many questions to be answered. The most efficient method for personal protection, methods of viral transmission, most accurate diagnostic approaches, and effective treatment options are yet to be determined. This special issue of the Advanced Journal of Emergency Medicine plans to specifically focus on COVID-19 by gathering the relevant scientific information available. We hope that by publishing high quality papers, this journal can provide its readers with further required information. Appropriate management of patients suffering COVID-19 as well as controlling this pandemic are our ultimate aspirations. We encourage further researches in this field by all scientists and physicians all across the world to be able to eradicate COVID-19 as soon as possible.

Title A name given to the resource Why do ecologists aim to get positive results? Once again, negative results are necessary for better knowledge accumulation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource A. Martínez–Abraín Description An account of the resource ¿Por qué los ecólogos desean obtener resultados positivos? Una vez más, los resultados negativos son necesarios para mejorar la acumulación de conocimientoEl contraste de hipótesis se emplea habitualmente en ecología y biología de la conservación como una herramienta para contrastar los valores de los parámetros de poblaciones estadísticas con las hipótesis nulas. Esta herramienta fue inventada por biólogos de laboratorio y estadísticos para tratar datos experimentales para los que se conocía de antemano la magnitud de los efectos biológicamente relevantes. Esto hace que a menudo en ecología no sea adecuado utilizar esta herramienta porque los ecólogos de campo generalmente trabajamos con datos observacionales y rara vez conocemos la magnitud de los efectos que son biológicamente relevantes. Ello nos impide usar el contraste de hipótesis adecuadamente, es decir, plantear hipótesis nulas que contengan información y emplear pruebas de potencia a priori para calcular los tamaños de muestra necesarios, y nos fuerza a emplear hipótesis nulas de efectos iguales a cero que son de poca utilidad para los ecólogos de campo porque sabemos por adelantado que en la naturaleza los efectos siempre son distintos de cero. Por esto los ecólogos siempre desean encontrar resultados positivos (estadísticamente significativos), porque los negativos siempre proceden de una falta de potencia para detectar efectos pequeños, que por lo general son biológicamente irrelevantes. A pesar de ello, los resultados negativos deberían publicarse porque son importantes en el contexto de los metanálisis (que analizan la incertidumbre al ponderar distintos estudios en función del tamaño de muestra) para permitir una adecuada toma de decisiones. El uso del contraste múltiple de hipótesis y la estadística bayesiana acaba con esta dicotomía, y nos sitúa en un contexto más realista en el que existe una escala de grises.

Title A name given to the resource Why Italy First? Health, Geographical and Planning Aspects of the COVID-19 Outbreak Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Beniamino Murgante, Giuseppe Borruso, Ginevra Balletto, Paolo Castiglia, Marco Dettori Description An account of the resource COVID-19 hit Italy in February 2020 after its outbreak in China at the beginning of January. Why was Italy first among the Western countries? What are the conditions that made Italy more vulnerable and the first target of this disease? What characteristics and diffusion patterns could be highlighted and hypothesized from its outbreak to the end of March 2020, after containment measures, including a national lockdown, were introduced? In this paper, we try to provide some answers to these questions, analyzing the issue from medical, geographical and planning points of view. With reference to the Italian case, we observed the phenomenon in terms of the spatial diffusion process and by observing the relation between the epidemic and various environmental elements. In particular, we started from a hypothesis of the comparable economic, geographical, climatic and environmental conditions of the areas of Wuhan (in the Hubei Province in China, where the epidemic broke out) and the Po Valley area (in Italy) where most cases and deaths were registered. Via an ecological approach, we compared the spatial distribution and pattern of COVID-19-related mortality in Italy with several geographical, environmental and socio-economic variables at a Provincial level, analyzing them by means of spatial analytical techniques such as LISA (Local Indicators of Spatial Association). Possible evidence arose relating to COVID-19 cases and Nitrogen-related pollutants and land take, particularly in the Po Valley area.
