Hi everyone!

I’m an intern working on a pandemic preparedness plan for a private practice with three locations, and I’d love to hear about your experiences when workplaces began returning to in-person work after restrictions were lifted.

A few questions:
Were you pressured to return before you felt safe or comfortable?
What did your employer do that made you feel supported? What could they have done better?
Were remote work, accommodations, or FMLA leave options available?
Did anyone feel forced to leave their job because they weren’t comfortable returning?
Looking back, what policies or practices would you recommend for handling a similar situation in the future?

Both positive and negative experiences are welcome!
Thanks for sharing! Your insights will help inform recommendations for supporting staff during future public health emergencies.

Quick clarification: I recognize that the pandemic is still ongoing and that COVID cases continue to flare up in different places. My questions are specifically about the period after mandates and restrictions were lifted and workplaces began returning to in-person operations.

I created a documentary highlighting how communities came together during all the disaster of 2020 and I've considered making a sequel that covers 2021. www.GlobalPanic.World

A simple app that generates SARS Cov2 genomes given some environmental conditions. It also generates other genomes like Dengue Virus, Hepatitis B Virus and the Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes from the influenza virus.

Hi

Here's a small SARSCov2 susceptibility/prevalence calculator, it uses a series of environmental features to make the forecast. Sources and other resources are listed inside the cite.

I know it's possible to manipulate genes using electricity. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a44714690/scientists-control-human-genes-with-electricity/ I think given the compounding threats of infectious diseases and the climate crisis that this could be crucial for our long term survival. Imagine if your own body could manufacture vaccines and or medication. Imagine if getting a vaccine was as simple as downloading a software patch.

Hi everyone! We are a medical education provider for healthcare professionals and patients, looking to create an educational program about COVID-19 for healthcare providers such as doctors and nurses. These educational programs are important to educate providers with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify, diagnose and treat people with COVID-19.

We would like to ask some questions about you and your experience of COVID-19 care. This information will help us plan this upcoming free educational program for healthcare providers.

The information you provide will be kept entirely confidential and will never be traced back to you as an individual. This information will be used for statistical and research purposes only, not for any financial use, and will be stored securely. Demographic questions help us better ensure we are reaching people from all age groups, genders, and regions. However, if there are any questions you do not wish to answer, you can move on to the next question. If answering as a caregiver or relative, please answer regarding the person you care for.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi, my name is Octavio and I have been working for some time on a variety of methods to analyze SARS Cov2 sequences. Mainly the application of deep learning and the design of different data structures. You can find a summary of the different analyses and a preprint here.

Methods models and data have been published in Kaggle and GitHub.

Currently, I'm looking to expand my computational capabilities to increase the performance of the techniques but funding continues to be an issue.

To obtain some funds I'm posting on substack a series where I explain how these methods work and the possible applications. Posts are open but comments are closed to paid subscribers. Hope you can check it out and subscribe :)

Hi everyone, I'm currently completing my thesis for my BSc in Psychology. My research is looking into presence and engagement levels of students with experience in online learning (as COVID postponed the amount of face-to-face, traditional learning that was taking place).

I'm really in need of some more participants so anyone over the age of 18, with experience in online learning environments is very welcome to take part. Here's the link: https://forms.office.com/r/RLfuvP0Txw

Should take up approx. 7 minutes of your time.

Thank you to everyone who participates, it is much appreciated.

Hi folks.

I’m an anthropologist who studies paradigm shifts. For the past two years I’ve been interviewing folks around the world about their pandemic experiences. We are wrapping up interviews on March 23 so writing and document compiling can begin. I’d like to personally invite you to sign up to contribute an interview during our final month. You’re welcome to interview anonymously and we are very serious about protecting identity. Feel free to PM me with questions or custom time slots for your time zone. Thanks so much. https://storiesofcovid.co
