    Summer 2017 Regional Development With AEB updates on: #investment climate in Russia, #localisation in the Russian regions, #discovering Krasnodar Region, #St. Petersburg investment legislation, #AEB news, #Committee activities, #member news, and #new members. | Introduction AEB Business Quarterly | Summer 2017 Dear readers, Welcome to the summer issue of the AEB Business Quarterly! The Association of European Businesses represents the interests of foreign investors in Russia and sup- ports foreign companies operating on the Russian market. Far more than 50% of foreign direct invest- ments originate from the European Union, so the country’s investment attractiveness is of vital impor- tance for the AEB. The AEB is focused on engaging with the Russian regions. We have two Regional Committees: the North-Western and the Southern ones with the offices in Saint Petersburg and Krasnodar correspondingly. They actively cooperate with the regional and local authorities and take part in the work of the investment councils of the governments of the Krasnodar and Leningrad regions, and the city of St. Petersburg. On 1 June 2017, the AEB signed an Agreement on Cooperation with Leningrad region within the framework of the St.Petersburg International Forum. The AEB regularly holds presentations of the investment potential of the regions in Moscow. Thus, recently we have hosted several events on the investment potential of the Altai and Sakhalin regions, the North Caucasus and the Chuvash Republic. The Association regularly organises business missions to the Russian regions and meetings with the regional governors, enabling companies to get acquainted with the investment opportunities of the given region as well as the terms of co- operation and development.

After a lively debate Tuesday, May 19, about the risks associated with reopening ahead of the state, the supervisors agreed to hear more from county staff before expanding the second of the state’s four-phase plan to reopen businesses. Supervisors agreed to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 21, to further discuss the matter. “Our small businesses have sat and waited,” Supervisor Robert Lovingood said. “They’ve waited patiently as long as they can. They cannot suffer this economic suppression any longer.” Lovingood and Supervisor Dawn Rowe supported moving forward with the county’s recovery plan, which assesses the risk of the virus’ spread at businesses and offers guidelines for reopening safely. However, the item was not on the agenda, so the board agreed to schedule a special meeting. https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2020/05/19/san-bernardino-county-waiting-for-now-to-expand-stage-2-coronavirus-reopening/[5/20/2020 8:18:00 AM] San Bernardino County waiting, for now, to expand Stage 2 coronavirus reopening – Redlands Daily Facts TOP ARTICLES 1/5 S A By .st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}.st1{fill:#0099FF;} M READ MORE Thousands evacuated as river dams break in central “This is a serious thing we have to do in the right way,” Chairman Curt Hagman said.

    Anonymous Collocation Discovery: Harnessing Privacy to Tame the Coronavirus∗ Ran Canetti† Ari Trachtenberg‡ Mayank Varia§ Boston University April 7, 2020 Abstract Successful containment of the Coronavirus pandemic rests on the ability to quickly and reliably identify those who have been in close proximity to a contagious individual. Existing tools for doing so rely on the collection of exact location information of individuals over lengthy time periods, and combining this information with other personal information. This unprecedented encroachment on individual privacy at national scales has created an outcry and risks rejection of these tools. We propose an alternative: an extremely simple scheme for providing fine-grained and timely alerts to users who have been in the close vicinity of an infected individual. Crucially, this is done while preserving the anonymity of all individuals, and without collecting or storing any personal information or location history. Our approach is based on using short-range communication mechanisms, like Bluetooth, that are available in all modern cell phones. It can be deployed with very little infrastructure, and incurs a relatively low false-positive rate compared to other collocation methods. We also describe a number of extensions and tradeoffs. We believe that the privacy guarantees provided by the scheme will encourage quick and broad voluntary adoption. When combined with sufficient testing capacity and existing best practices from healthcare professionals, we hope that this may significantly reduce the infection rate. To avoid confusion, we stress that this work does not propose any direct medical treatment. arXiv:2003.13670v4 [cs.CY] 3 Apr 2020 Rather, it proposes a way to pool together information from the community in order to help (a) direct medical personnel in how to best allocate and use testing resources, and (b) direct individuals as to when to get tested and self-quarantine.

    Literature Overview October 25, 2020. Many thanks to Peter Reiss! Lipsitch M, Dean N, Understanding COVID-19 efficacy. Science, October 21, 2020. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/10/21/science.abe5938 Commentary about. COVID-19 vaccine efficacy by Marc Lipsitch and Natalie Dean Important questions that will likely remain after first vaccine trials are published and should be addressed: - First, trials are typically not powered to establish subgroup-specific efficacy, yet the performance of the vaccine in high-risk groups affects the success of a direct-protection strategy. - Second, can vaccines prevent infection or reduce contagiousness? This matters for achieving indirect protection.

JAMA, October 21, 2020. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2772186 b Design - This is a prospective, open label RCT to evaluate the effect of early tocilizumab administration vs standard therapy in preventing clinical worsening in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia in Italy. Eligibility criteria - included COVID-19 pneumonia documented by radiologic imaging, partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (Pao2/Fio2) ratio between 200 and 300 mm Hg, and an inflammatory phenotype defined by fever and elevated C- reactive protein. Interventions - Patients in the experimental arm received 2 iv doses of tocilizumab. Patients in the control arm received supportive care following the protocols of each clinical center until clinical worsening and then could receive tocilizumab as a rescue therapy.
