SARS-CoV-2 was rapidly transmitted globally, disrupting structures and systems; and causing millions of deaths. Globally, there were 278.7M COVID-19 cases and 5.39M attributable deaths by December 2021 [2], 21 months after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic [3].

Vaccine-induced and hybrid immunity to SARS-CoV-2 after three or four doses of BNT162b2 - results from 22 months follow-up of a healthcare workers cohort, Israel, 2020-2022
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has killed at least seven million worldwide since its emergence in China in late 2019 [1] and became the most significant global health crisis since the 1918 influenza pandemic [2]. In order to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions such as protective equipment and social distancing as well as the rapid development and mass implementation COVID-19 vaccines, have been rolled out to prevent death, reduce the spread and severity of disease, and protect healthcare systems from becoming overwhelmed [2].

Cost-effectiveness of remdesivir for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19: a systematic review
ConclusionsBased on the results of the present study, remdesivir appears to be cost-effective in comparison with the standard of care in China, Turkey, and South Africa. Studies conducted in the United States show conflicting results, and combining remdesivir with baricitinib is cost-effective compared with remdesivir alone. However, the cost-effectiveness of remdesivir in low-income countries remains unknown. Thus, more studies in different countries are required to determine the cost-effectiveness of this drug.

Reduction in COVID-19 related resource loss and decline in prevalence of probable depression in Chinese adults: an application of the Conservation of Resource Theory
ConclusionsThe lessening of the resource losses might have fully accounted for the significant decline in probable depression from Month 3 to 15 since the first COVID-19 outbreak in Hong Kong, China. The level of depression might have increased during the first phase of the pandemic, but might decline in the later phases if resources losses could be lessened. All stakeholders should hence work together to minimize individuals ’ COVID-19-related resource losses to prevent depression in the general population, as COVID-19 might be lasting.

Trop Med Infect Dis. 2023 Feb 8;8(2):107. doi: 10.3390/tropicalmed8020107.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first isolated in Wuhan, China, is currently a pandemic. At the beginning of the pandemic, pulmonary issues were the most discussed and studied. However, now 3 years later, the role of the dermatologist has become increasingly central. Often the diversity in the presentation of these manifestations has made it difficult for the dermatologist to recognize them. In addition to the common symptoms involving fever, cough, dyspnea, and hypo...
