“…Restrictions in red states were not as strict as in blue states. Guess et al ( 40 ) found that blue states had significantly higher scores than red states on behavioral/mitigation efforts. These include the duration of lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccination rates.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in providing virtual engagement. Planners and engineers must determine whether cities will see reductions in travel demand, given the increasing use of ICTs. Notably, ICTs facilitate online shopping and working from home (WFH). Generally, online shopping may lead to fewer shopping trips; similarly, WFH may reduce work-related trips. However, more WFH has the potential to generate other non-work trips, including shopping trips. To find answers and explore interdependencies, this study integrates pre-pandemic behavioral data with during-pandemic travel data. In our framework, WFH and online shopping are considered together. By harnessing the pre-pandemic 2017 National Household Travel Survey data, this study jointly analyzes the relationships between shopping trips, online shopping, and WFH with a conditional mixed process model that can address unobserved endogeneity and selection bias. The results suggest that, before the pandemic, online shopping was associated with fewer in-person shopping trips while WFH was associated with more shopping trips. The role of socio-demographic, locational, and travel-related factors is also explored. The during-pandemic data and analysis capture how COVID-19 affected travel behavior. Results show that the relationships among the key variables found in the pre-pandemic data are similar but differ in magnitude from during the pandemic. WFH increased from 12% to 61% during COVID-19, admittedly an unusual situation. In the next “new normal,” planners may improve travel demand models by treating WFH explicitly as an alternative to traveling to work in the trip generation and time of day models.

“…Although much of the political action and many of the governmental policies concerning vaccines have had a positive impact on responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, the challenges emerging with regard to vaccines have had a detrimental impact on the response to the pandemic. For example, in the United States, the public's reaction to government policies enacted to contain the pandemic with respect to vaccines has resulted in a polarization of the different states based upon political ideologies and parties (Clark 2021;Guess et al 2022). Specifically, in the United States, political conservatives are less credulous about the scientific rhetoric that vaccines are safe or even effective, which has resulted in what is called "red Covid" (Leonhardt 2021).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged both medicine and governments as they have strived to confront the pandemic and its consequences. One major challenge is that evidence-based medicine has struggled to provide timely and necessary evidence to guide medical practice and public policy formulation. We propose an extension of evidence-based corona medicine to an organismic systems corona medicine as a multilevel conceptual framework to develop a robust concept-oriented medical system. The proposed organismic systems corona medicine could help to prevent or mitigate future pandemics by transitioning to a bifocal medicine that extends an empirical evidence-based medicine to a theory-oriented organismic systems medicine.
