Decisions to shutdown economic activities to control the spread of COVID-19 early in the pandemic remain controversial, with negative impacts including high rates of unemployment. Here we present a counterfactual scenario for the state of California in which the economy remained open and active during the pandemic’s first year. The exercise provides a baseline against which to compare actual levels of job losses. We developed an economic-epidemiological mathematical model to simulate outbreaks of COVID-19 in ten large Californian socio-economic areas. Results show that job losses are an unavoidable consequence of the pandemic, because even in an open economy, debilitating illness and death among workers drive economic downturns. Although job losses in the counterfactual scenario were predicted to be less than those actually experienced, the cost would have been the additional death or disablement of tens of thousands of workers. Furthermore, whereas an open economy would have favoured populous, services-oriented coastal areas in terms of employment, the opposite would have been true of smaller inland areas and those with relatively larger agricultural sectors. Thus, in addition to the greater cost in lives, the benefits of maintaining economic activity would have been unequally distributed, exacerbating other realized social inequities of the disease’s impact.

Almost one quarter of all businesses have temporarily closed or paused trading due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the United Kingdom as of April 2020.

Objectives: Youth with chronic pain often struggle to function in multiple domains due to pain and associated psychosocial distress. In 2020, schools and businesses shut down and people were encouraged to remain at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, eliminating or reducing stress due to functional difficulties. This study assessed whether pain and associated psychosocial outcomes improved in youth with chronic pain during the shutdown, compared with before the pandemic.Methods: Patients who completed clinical outcome measures during a multidisciplinary evaluation before the pandemic were readministered the same measures (PROMIS Anxiety, Depression, Sleep Disturbance, PCS, PedsQL) during the shutdown. At follow-up, patients also completed measures of adjustment to COVID-19 and their parents completed a measure of pandemic effects.Results: Participants included 47 patients ages 8–18 and a parent/guardian. The pandemic impacted families in both positive (e.g., more quality time with family) and negative ways (e.g., social isolation, disruption in care). Pain intensity and pain catastrophizing significantly decreased during the shutdown (ps

The effects of government interventions on COVID-19 infection rate.

The global effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) largely depends on the support of every citizen to comply with societal regulations (e.g., school closure) and personal precautions (e.g., wearing a facemask). In an online study with participants from three societies (United States, China, and Japan; Ns = 122, 215, 191, respectively), we examined people’s acceptance of societal and personal preventive measures and their reasons. Drawing on social domain theory, we distinguished among moral, societal, personal, and prudential considerations as potential reasons. In the present study, participants indicated their acceptance of different societal and personal preventive measures and then endorsed the reasons (considerations) they believed to be most important to their acceptance of these measures. Also, they completed scales measuring perceived vulnerability to disease and sense of control. They were also asked to identify societal regulations already implemented by the government of their home country. Finally, using two items, we assessed participants’ subjective evaluation of the controllability of the pandemic (through societal regulations) and the preventability of COVID-19 (through personal precautions). Please see the "measures" document for the full list of items used in this study, and the "data" file for the original data of the study. We found that participants from the United States indicated the highest acceptance of personal preventive measures (e.g., handwashing, wearing facemasks), whereas participants from China indicated the highest acceptance of societal preventive measures (e.g., closing borders, shutting down non-essential businesses). Moral considerations predicted higher acceptance of societal preventive measures, whereas personal considerations predicted lower acceptance of both societal and personal preventive measures. Chinese participants, compared with American and Japanese participants, exhibited a stronger link between societal considerations and higher acceptance of societal preventive measures.

The pharmaceutical industry was the least affected by closures. On average, French companies were closed for 57 days in France.

The COVID-19 outbreak led governmental officials to close many businesses and schools, including colleges and universities. Thus, the ability to resume normal campus operation required adoption of safety measures to monitor and respond to COVID-19. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of wastewater-based epidemiology as a surveillance method in monitoring COVID-19 on a college campus. The use of wastewater monitoring as part of a surveillance program to control COVID-19 outbreaks at East Carolina University was evaluated. During the Spring and Fall 2021 semesters, wastewater samples (N = 830) were collected every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from the sewer pipes exiting the dormitories on campus. Samples were analyzed for SARS-CoV-2 and viral quantification was determined using qRT-PCR. During the Spring 2021 semester, there was a significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 virus copies in wastewater when comparing dorms with the highest number student cases of COVID-19 and those with the lowest number of student cases, (p = 0.002). Additionally, during the Fall 2021 semester it was observed that when weekly virus concentrations exceeded 20 copies per ml, there were new confirmed COVID-19 cases 85% of the time during the following week. Increases in wastewater viral concentration spurred COVID-19 swab testing for students residing in dormitories, aiding university officials in effectively applying COVID testing policies. This study showed wastewater-based epidemiology can be a cost-effective surveillance tool to guide other surveilling methods (e.g., contact tracing, nasal/salvia testing, etc.) to identify and isolate afflicted individuals to reduce the spread of pathogens and potential outbreaks within a community.

Revenue in Europe’s Convention and Trade Show Organisations industry is anticipated to drop at a compound annual rate of 7.2% to €30.4 billion over the five years through 2024. The sink in revenue over the period is predominantly due to the significant damage the COVID-19 outbreak inflicted on the sector, as convention and trade show organisations were shut down temporarily or operated at limited capacity. The industry has weathered unfavourable economic headwinds since the COVID-19 outbreak, as inflationary pressures hit the Eurozone, limiting significant investment into new projects, compounded by lacklustre business sentiment. As a result, convention and trade show organisations' revenue is set to decline by 1.5% in 2024. The industry's key clientele is the commercial enterprises whose participation in events like trade shows and conventions mainly depends on their economic outlook. Private individuals are more likely to attend events during a positive consumer climate. This directly influences the appeal for companies to showcase themselves as exhibitors at trade shows. Inflationary pressures are set to ease over 2024, with promising signs in the latter end of 2023 strengthening business and consumer sentiment to the benefit of the industry. Revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.2% over the five years through 2029 to €37,1 billion. The industry is set to benefit from Europe’s improving economy in the coming years as markets stabilise and clients begin to expand investment, requiring the services of convention and trade show organisations. The industry’s growth will be squeezed by growth in telecommunications and digitalisation after consumers were forced onto online teleconferencing amid COVID-19 disruptions to travel. Continued growth in online substitutes to the industry will prove detrimental to the industry, with convention and trade show organisations adapting by implementing their own digitalisation efforts.
