© 2020 by the authors. Coronaviruses are viral infections that have a significant ability to impact human health. Coronaviruses have produced two pandemics and one epidemic in the last two decades. The current pandemic has created a worldwide catastrophe threatening the lives of over 15 million as of July 2020. Current research efforts have been focused on producing a vaccine or repurposing current drug compounds to develop a therapeutic. There is, however, a need to study the active site preferences of relevant targets, such as the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro), to determine ways to optimize these drug compounds. The …

© 2020, Southern Criminal Justice Association. During pandemics, like COVID-19, law enforcement agencies are responsible for working with government and public health officials to contain spread, serve the local community, and maintain public order. Given the person-to-person spread of COVID-19 through respiratory droplets, law enforcement officers are also at a heightened risk of exposure due to their close contact with members of the public. To protect officers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other agencies have made numerous recommendations for law enforcement agencies to protect officers and the public. Departments around the country have responded to the …

© Pharmacy of Colleges of Association American 2020. The onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has added a new layer of complexity to an already difficult period for academic pharmacy. The need to follow social-distancing guidelines has resulted in rapid adoption of technology-enabled communication strategies. While these technologies provide unprecedented ways in which we can connect as an academic community, we must consider their effectiveness in not only promoting exchange of information, but also creating inspiration within the community and supporting the level of interdependence required to tackle the difficult challenges that lie ahead. As the connecting body within …

Health Risks For Covid-19 In Mississippi Counties, Jamiko Deleveaux, Vanessa Parks
Population Briefs
Evidence suggests that individuals with preexisting health concerns may be more susceptible to becoming seriously ill from the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Such co-morbidities include existing respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and immune function. A recent report found that Mississippi and many other southern states had among the highest rates of pre-existing conditions that could contribute to COVID19 complications. Within Mississippi, health outcomes vary spatially. To anticipate where there may be the greatest potential for Mississippians to become seriously ill from COVID-19, we developed a health risk index for each county.
The Critical Role Of Social Capital During The Covid-19 Pandemic: Lessons From Disaster Research, Vanessa Parks
The Critical Role Of Social Capital During The Covid-19 Pandemic: Lessons From Disaster Research, Vanessa Parks
Population Briefs
The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike any experience humanity has endured. While the pandemic is certainly biological in nature, through the transmission of the novel coronavirus, the experience of the pandemic is inherently social. Researchers may not yet conceptualize pandemics as disasters, but we are beginning to see evidence that they are playing out in some similar ways (widespread social disruption, job loss in particular industries, economic hardship, and illness and death). Disaster researchers emphasize the importance of what is known as social capital, or, the resources (social, economic, emotional) accrued through ones’ social ties.

However, instead of discouraging them, these events have in many ways strengthened the resilience of the …
