Understanding coronavirus
\"Since the identification of the first cases of the coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been a significant amount of confusion regarding the origin and spread of the so-called 'coronavirus', officially named SARS-CoV-2, and the cause of the disease COVID-19. Conflicting messages from the media and officials across different countries and organizations, the abundance of disparate sources of information, unfounded conspiracy theories on the origins of the newly emerging virus and the inconsistent public health measures across different countries, have all served to increase the level of anxiety in the population. Where did the virus come from? How is it transmitted? How does it cause disease? Is it like flu? What is a pandemic? What can we do to stop its spread? Written by a leading expert, this concise and accessible introduction provides answers to the most common questions surrounding coronavirus for a general audience\"-- Provided by publisher.

COVID-19 salgınının diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stresin değerlendirilmesi
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yeni tip korona virüs hastalığının (COVID-19) diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stres düzeyini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: TC Sağlık Bakanlığı ve klinik araştırmalar etik kurulundan alınan izin sonrası online formlar aracılığı ile anket oluşturuldu. Ülkemizde yaşayan özel ve/veya kamu kurumlarında diş hekimi olarak çalışan, 25-55 yaş arası kişiler çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılara; sosyodemografik ve klinik değerlendirme formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ) ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan gelecek ile ilgili kaygı düzeyini değerlendiren gelecek kaygısı formu uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 228 diş hekimi dahil edildi. 118 kişi (%52) kadın ve 110 kişi (%48) erkek idi. Katılımcılardan 161 kişi (%70) evli iken 53 kişi (%23,24) bekardı. Bu kişilerden 77 kişi (%33,77) 25-35 yaş aralığında, 74 kişi (%32,4) 35-45 yaş aralığında idi. ASÖ’den aldıkları puan 40,92±8,68 iken, gelecek kaygısının değerlendirildiği formdan 114,18±33,19 hesap edildi. Sonuç: Bulgularımız diş hekimlerinde Covid-19’a bağlı yüksek stres düzeyini ve toplumsal gelecek kaygısını işaret etmektedir. Bu nedenle, salgın sürecinde diş hekimlerinin stres düzeylerini ve kaygılarını azaltacak önlemlerin alınması önerilmektedir.

Covid-19 enfeksiyonu tanısı ile yoğun bakımda takip edilen kritik hastaların retrospektif değerlendirilmesi: tek merkez deneyimi
Giriş: 11 Mart tarihinde, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından ilan edilen COVİD-19 salgını sonrası, Mart’ın ikinci haftasından itibaren ülkemizde olgular bildirilmiştir. COVİD-19 olgularının %5’inde hastalığın seyri sırasında yoğun bakıma ünitesine (YBÜ) yatış ihtiyacı gelişmektedir. Bu çalışma ile YBÜ’de izlediğimiz kritik durumdaki COVİD-19 hastalarının klinik özelliklerinin tanınması, takip ve tedavisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmada; Mart-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında, COVİD-19 enfeksiyonu tanısı alan 180 hastanın, Dahiliye YBÜ’ye kabul edilen 18 (%12,2) hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: YBÜ'ye kabul edilen 18 hastadan 13'ünün (%72,2) invaziv solunum desteğine ihtiyacı vardı. Geri kalan hastalara (5 hasta, %27,8) non-invaziv ventilasyon tedavisi uygulandı. Hastaların 16'sında (%88,9) en az bir komorbiditeye rastlandı. Yoğun bakım ünitesine yatan hastaların, 28 günlük mortalitesi %55,6 iken hastane mortalitesi %61,1 idi. 60 günlük mortalite ise %66,7 olarak bulundu. Tartışma: YBÜ’ye kabul oranımız ve ölüm oranlarımız Çin, Amerika ve İtalya’dan bildirilen çalışmalara göre daha yüksek bulunmuş ve bunun muhtemel sebeplerinin hastaların ciddiyeti, invaziv mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı olduğu düşünülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonuçlarına göre COVİD-19 kritik seyirli hastaların risk faktörleri, takip ve tedavisinde kullandığımız yöntemler ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sonuçların gelecekteki takip ve tedavi yöntemlerine katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmekle birlikte yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Parenting During COVID‐19: A Study of Parents' Experiences Across Gender and Income Levels
Objective
This study describes parenting experiences at the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic and examines differences across parent gender and family income level.
Background
The COVID‐19 pandemic had unprecedented impacts on families. Many parents faced employment changes, including job loss, reduced pay, and working remotely, while simultaneously experiencing increased childcare responsibilities due to school and childcare closures. Research is needed to document the ongoing impact of these changes on parents and families.
Method
An online convenience sample of parents (N = 1,009) reported on their parenting experiences during the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic (April 2020) in an online survey.
Results
Parents reported high levels of depression, anxiety, and parental burnout. Further, many parents reported increased negative emotions, such as anger and worry, while simultaneously feeling closer to their children and offering more comfort and soothing. Differences across gender and income levels are presented.
Conclusion
These results align with other emerging findings of increased impacts to mental health and well‐being for parents and children and document the disproportionate effects on women and low‐income families.
Implications
Implications include needing additional support (e.g., financial, caregiving) for parents and families as we continue to face the impacts and consequences of COVID‐19.

\"This volume presents a comprehensive account of the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the novel coronavirus pandemic, as it happened. Originating in China in late 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the entire world in a matter of 3-4 months. This volume examines the first responses to the pandemic, the contexts of earlier epidemics and the epidemiological basics of infectious diseases. Further, it also discusses patterns in the spread of the disease; the management and containment of infections at the personal, national and global level; effects on trade and commerce; the social and psychological impact on people; disruption and postponement of international events; the role of various international organizations like WHO in the search for solutions; and, the race for a vaccine or the cure. Authored by a medical professional and an economist working on the frontlines, this book gives a nuanced, verified, and fact-checked analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its global response. A one-stop resource on the COVID-19 outbreak, it is an indispensable read for every reader, as well as a holistic work for scholars and researchers of medical sociology, public health, political economy, public policy and governance, sociology of health and medicine, para-medical and medical practitioners.

Associations between persistent symptoms after mild COVID‐19 and long‐term health status, quality of life, and psychological distress
Background
We sought to assess whether persistent COVID‐19 symptoms beyond 6 months (Long‐COVID) among patients with mild COVID‐19 is associated with poorer health status, quality of life, and psychological distress.
Methods
This was a multicenter prospective cohort study that included adult outpatients with acute COVID‐19 from eight sites during 2‐week sampling periods from April 1 and July 28, 2020. Participants were contacted 6–11 months after their first positive SARS‐CoV‐2 to complete a survey, which collected information on the severity of eight COVID‐19 symptoms using a 4‐point scale ranging from 0 (not present) to 3 (severe) at 1 month before COVID‐19 (pre‐illness) and at follow‐up; the difference for each was calculated as an attributable persistent symptom severity score. A total attributable persistent COVID‐19 symptom burden score was calculated by summing the attributable persistent severity scores for all eight symptoms. Outcomes measured at long‐term follow‐up comprised overall health status (EuroQol visual analogue scale), quality of life (EQ‐5D‐5L), and psychological distress (Patient Health Questionnaire‐4). The association between the total attributable persistent COVID‐19 burden score and each outcome was analyzed using multivariable proportional odds regression.
Results
Of the 2092 outpatients with COVID‐19, 436 (21%) responded to the survey. The median (IQR) attributable persistent COVID‐19 symptom burden score was 2 (0, 4); higher scores were associated with lower overall health status (aOR 0.63; 95% CI: 0.57–0.69), lower quality of life (aOR: 0.65; 95%CI: 0.59–0.72), and higher psychological distress (aOR: 1.40; 95%CI, 1.28–1.54) after adjusting for age, race, ethnicity, education, and income.
Conclusions
In participants with mild acute COVID‐19, the burden of persistent symptoms was significantly associated with poorer long‐term health status, poorer quality of life, and psychological distress.
