By Tarun Sai LomteNov 29 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , researchers reported that pandemic fatigue impeded the mitigation of the coronavirus disease 2019 in Hong Kong.
Pandemic fatigue is a response to the protracted health crisis due to the interplay of social and cultural factors and is typically referred to as psychological fatigue involving mental and physical exhaustion. COVID-19 pandemic fatigue has resulted in less motivation and compliance to protective behaviors.
The participants’ chain reactions were analyzed using a coupled disease-behavior framework of risk perceptions, protective behaviors, COVID-19 transmission, and public case reports . A 1.7% and 6.3% increase in the proportion of adults avoiding social gatherings per day would have reduced the size of the fourth COVID-19 wave by 14% and 39%, respectively.

Alterations of the fecal microbiota in relation to acute COVID-19 infection and recovery - Molecular BiomedicinePeople with acute COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 infection experience a range of symptoms, but major factors contributing to severe clinical outcomes remain to be understood. Emerging evidence suggests associations between the gut microbiome and the severity and progression of COVID-19. To better understand the host-microbiota interactions in acute COVID-19, we characterized the intestinal microbiome of patients with active SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to recovered patients and uninfected healthy controls. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples collected between May 2020 and January 2021 from 20 COVID-19-positive patients, 20 COVID-19-recovered subjects and 20 healthy controls. COVID-19-positive patients had altered microbiome community characteristics compared to the recovered and control subjects, as assessed by both α- and β-diversity differences. In COVID-19-positive patients, we observed depletion of Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Lachnospiraceae, as well as decreased relative abundances of the genera Faecalibacterium, Adlercreutzia, and the Eubacterium brachy group. The enrichment of Prevotellaceae with COVID-19 infection continued after viral clearance; antibiotic use induced further gut microbiota perturbations in COVID-19-positive patients. In conclusion, we present evidence that acute COVID-19 induces gut microbiota dysbiosis with depletion of particular populations of commensal bacteria, a phenomenon heightened by antibiotic exposure, but the general effects do not persist post-recovery.
