The path to the next normal Leading with resolve through the coronavirus pandemic May 2020 Introduction On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization formally declared COVID-19 a pandemic, underscoring the precipitous global uncertainty that had plunged lives and livelihoods into a still-unfolding crisis. Just two months later, daily reports of outbreaks—and of waxing and waning infection and mortality rates— continue to heighten anxiety, stir grief, and cast into question the contours of our collective social and economic future. Never in modern history have countries had to ask citizens around the world to stay home, curb travel, and maintain physical distance to preserve the health of families, colleagues, neighbors, and friends. And never have we seen job loss spike so fast, nor the threat of economic distress loom so large. In this unprecedented reality, we are also witnessing the beginnings of a dramatic restructuring of the social and economic order—the emergence of a new era that we view as the “next normal.” Dialogue and debate have only just begun on the shape this next normal will take.

  • The COVID-19 Wicked Problem in Public Health Ethics: Conflicting
    COMMENT https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-021-00839-1 OPEN The COVID-19 wicked problem in public health ethics: conflicting evidence, or incommensurable values? ✉ Federica Angeli 1 , Silvia Camporesi 2 & Giorgia Dal Fabbro3 While the world was facing a rapidly progressing COVID-19 second wave, a policy paradox emerged. On the one side, much more was known by Autumn 1234567890():,; 2020 about the mechanisms underpinning the spread and lethality of Sars-CoV- 2. On the other side, how such knowledge should be translated by policymakers into containment measures appeared to be much more controversial and debated than during the first wave in Spring. Value-laden, conflicting views in the scientific community emerged about both problem definition and subsequent solutions surrounding the epidemiological emergency, which underlined that the COVID-19 global crisis had evolved towards a full-fledged policy “wicked pro- blem”. With the aim to make sense of the seemingly paradoxical scientific dis- agreement around COVID-19 public health policies, we offer an ethical analysis of the scientific views encapsulated in the Great Barrington Declaration and of the John Snow Memorandum, two scientific petitions that appeared in October 2020. We show that how evidence is interpreted and translated into polar opposite advice with respect to COVID-19 containment policies depends on a different ethical compass that leads to different prioritization decisions of ethical values and societal goals. We then highlight the need for a situated approach to public health policy, which recognizes that policies are necessarily value-laden, and need to be sensitive to context-specific and historic socio-cultural and socio- economic nuances.

Read Full License INTRODUCTION Twitter can be utilized as a tool in Medical Education because it may serve as a learning tool and a mode of sharing critical medical updates and scientific communication. Medical Humanities scholars may utilize the social media site to situate knowledge on the novel COVID-19, also known as coronavirus. Presently, several world leaders utilize Twitter.com to communicate scientific findings as well as their own views of COVID-19. Brandt and Botelho (2020) argue that COVID-19 can be described as the "perfect storm" because of its unpredictability. COVID-19 affected the entire world from its onset in December 2019. COVID-19 has marked itself as an unpredictable virus and was initially difficult to track. Brandt and Botelho (2020) argue that COVID-19 is overly described as unpredictable because of the "rare combination of adverse meteorological factors". Whilst COVID-19 itself as a pandemic is unpredictable, some of the ways that the government is handling the situation was also very unclear. Thus, this research was pursued to follow the government's stance on the development of COVID-19 and the policies and procedures that they would follow and employ to assert control over the situation.

Materials and methods An online survey collected demographic data, levels of psychological distress (GP-CORE) and experiences from UK dentists during the ‘ational lockdown’ period of the pandemic. Statistical and thematic analyses were performed and data compared with previous research. Results Psychological distress was lower in UK dentists during the national lockdown period when compared to previous research using the same measure. GDPs, those in England and those with mixed commitment reported the highest levels of psychological distress. Most dentists had been afected by the pandemic. Some who were remotely working during this time valued the time away from the profession, relishing the absence of regulatory and contractual stressors, and used lockdown as an opportunity to re-evaluate their lives and careers.
