Study: Life expectancy gaps between Black and white Americans have narrowed by nearly 50% in three decades

Persistent gaps in life expectancy between Black and white Americans have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, this gap has narrowed by nearly 50% in three decades, largely due to improvements among Black Americans, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Greater viral load of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern increases transmission potential

By quantifying the probability of infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in accordance with its viral load after a high-risk contact, researchers from France, Spain, and the United Kingdom show a substantial correlation of transmission probability and viral load increase in variants of concern.

Researchers model impact of changes in contact rate patterns on COVID-19 incidence in US

Researchers in the United States have studied changes in contact rate patterns in the United States over the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and modeled the impact that these changes have had on the incidence of cases across different age groups.

Study explores the willingness of children and adolescents to have COVID-19 vaccination

36% of 9-year-olds and 51% of 13-year-olds say they are willing to have a COVID-19 vaccination compared to 78% of 17-year-olds, finds a major study co-led by UCL, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

Machine learning may predict zoonotic potential of viral genomes

Most emerging infectious diseases of humans (like COVID-19) are zoonotic – caused by viruses originating from other animal species. Identifying high-risk viruses earlier can improve research and surveillance priorities.

Research uncovers exclusion of people with disabilities from COVID-19 planning and relief efforts

Three new publications by Inclusive Futures have revealed how people with disabilities were not only disproportionately and 'catastrophically' excluded from COVID-19 pandemic planning and relief efforts, but that representative disability groups were vital in aiding those left behind by the systems that are supposed to support them.
