“…Mean viewership per day of all included videos was 303,133.7 (SD = 640,382.7,range = 14,289,113). Of our included videos, the earliest video was posted on January 21, 2020, which was before the WHO declared COVID-19 as a 'public health emergency of international concern' in January 30, 2020, and before the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020 (Gostin et al, 2020).…”

Media coverage on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been extensive, yet large gaps remain in our understanding of the role of social media platforms during worldwide health crisis. The purpose of this study was to assess the most viewed YouTube videos on COVID-19 for medical content. We coded video characteristics, source, and medical content of the 113 most-widely viewed videos about COVID-19. Seventynine (69.9%) videos were classified as useful, and 10 (8.8%) videos were classified as misleading. Independent users were more likely to post misleading videos than useful videos (60.0% vs 21.5%, P = 0.009). News agencies were more likely to post useful videos than misleading videos (72.2% vs 40.0%, P = 0.039). Useful videos were more likely to present any information on prevalence or incidence (79.7% vs 20.0%, P < 0.001), as well as information on outcomes or prognosis (84.8% vs 30.0%, P < 0.001) compared to misleading videos. The World Health Organization contributed one useful video (1.3%), while no videos from the Center for Disease Control were included. Although YouTube generally is a useful source of medical information on the COVID-19 pandemic, increased efforts to disseminate accurate information from reputable sources is desired to help mitigate disease spread and decrease unnecessary panic in the general population.

“…For the first time after decades, the progressive scarcity of devices, equipment and resources has raised also in highincome countries the problem of resource allocation and prioritisation. The latter could expose a part of the population, probably the most disadvantaged individuals, to further difficulties in accessing healthcare services [17].…”

The Inadequacy of Regulatory Frameworks in Time of Crisis and in Low-Resource Settings: Personal Protective Equipment and COVID-19

et al. 2020

COVID-19 pandemic is plaguing the world and representing the most significant stress test for many national healthcare systems and services, since their foundation. The supply-chain disruption and the unprecedented request for intensive care unit (ICU) beds have created in Europe conditions typical of low-resources settings. This generated a remarkable race to find solutions for the prevention, treatment and management of this disease which is involving a large amount of people. Every day, new Do-It-Yourself (DIY) solutions regarding personal protective equipment and medical devices populate social media feeds. Many companies (e.g., automotive or textile) are converting their traditional production to manufacture the most needed equipment (e.g., respirators, face shields, ventilators etc.). In this chaotic scenario, policy makers, international and national standards bodies, along with the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientific societies are making a joint effort to increase global awareness and knowledge about the importance of respecting the relevant requirements to guarantee appropriate quality and safety for patients and healthcare workers. Nonetheless, ordinary procedures for testing and certification are currently questioned and empowered with fast-track pathways in order to speed-up the deployment of new solutions for COVID-19. This paper shares critical reflections on the current regulatory framework for the certification of personal protective equipment. We hope that these reflections may help readers in navigating the framework of regulations, norms and international standards relevant for key personal protective equipment, sharing a subset of tests that should be deemed essential even in a period of crisis.

“…Entretanto, na literatura, outros fatores que podem agravar o quadro clinico da COVID-19 que serão discutidos neste trabalho são apresentados, como: disfunções de outros órgãos, pós-cirúrgicos, câncer, dentre outras. (Gostin et al, 2020) O tratamento do SARS-Cov-2, outro nome empregado a doença causada pelo vírus, possui poucos métodos efetivos de intervenção. A cloroquina e seu derivado, a Hidroxicloroquina, promovem uma ampla discussão mundial sobre sua utilização, porém ainda não possuem resultados comprovados em estudos mais criteriosos, além de ser comprovada sua influência com complicações cardíacas.…”

O novo coronavírus surgiu na China no fim de 2019 e já em março de 2020 era considerado uma pandemia infectando milhões de pessoas com seu alto poder de transmissibilidade. Por conta disso, a saúde de muitas pessoas que são mais frágeis por condições pré-existentes pode também estarem mais suscetíveis a maiores consequências. O objetivo deste estudo é reunir outras pesquisas que descrevem quais pessoas estão mais sujeitas a COVID-19 e suas complicações nas vidas das mesmas. O presente estudo é embasado nas normas de uma revisão bibliográfica e foi realizado através de pesquisas nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Web of Science e ScienceDirect, utilizando as palavras chaves na língua inglesa e portuguesa. Dos 1994 resultados encontrados apenas 17 se adequaram aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os resultados encontrados conceberam a resposta para o objetivo, descrevendo a situação de vulnerabilidade individual através da classificação de grupo de riscos contendo pessoas de faixa etária elevada, complicações cardiovasculares gerais, diabetes, hipertensão, disfunções renais, problemas hepáticos, pacientes com algum tipo de câncer, pós-operatórios, obesidade e pessoas mais frágeis momentaneamente que merecem um pouco mais de atenção como grávidas, recém-nascidos e crianças. Destarte, conclui-se que as pessoas que se enquadram em alguma ou mais de uma dessas categorias merecem um cuidado e apoio redobrado tanto para tratar de suas fragilidades inerentes quanto para superar a pandemia causada pelo SARS-Cov-2.
