“…Uncertainty about economic conditions brought on by COVID-19, mental health burden, fear of infection, and high mortality rate from COVID-19 are negatively impacting future birth rates [19]. It is also of important note that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an upsurge of economic and future uncertainty in China [20], and this may also impact participants' decision to have children. As evident in China, new births plunged to their lowest in almost six decades in the year 2020 amid the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic [21].…”

Background This study aimed to assess the fertility intentions of young people after the announcement of the three–child policy in China and to determine whether knowledge about reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) services or support, childbearing- and childbirth-related anxiety, and parenthood–related anxiety influence fertility intentions. Methods A cross-sectional Internet-based survey was conducted on a nationwide sample of young people aged 18 to 28 years old in education institutions. Factors associated with fertility intentions were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results Only 4.2% of males and 1.7% of females intended to have three children or more. On the whole, the majority (40.3%) reported the intention to have two children. The mean and standard deviation (SD) for the total knowledge RMNCH support and/or services knowledge score was 9.5 (SD ± 8.9), out of a possible score of 39. The median and interquartile range (IQR) of childbearing– and childbirth-related anxiety score was 8.0 (IQR = 6.0–9.0), out of a possible score of 10. The median and IQR of parenthood–related anxiety score among the males was 6.0 (IQR = 4.0–9.0) and for females was 7.0 (IQR = 5.0–9.0). Results from PLS-SEM revealed that a higher level of knowledge of RMNCH support and/or services is significantly associated with higher fertility intentions. Both childbearing- and childbirth-related anxiety and parenthood–related anxiety were inversely associated with fertility intentions. Conclusion Raising awareness about RMNCH supportive measures and easing birth- and parenting anxiety are imperative to enhance birth rates. Future policies should pay more attention to these determinants to achieve their intended goal of boosting population growth.

“…The rapid sharing of academic and scientific information concerning COVID-19 and the subsequent condition of long COVID has been an effective way to reduce public alarm and provide real time guidance for clinicians managing patients. It has also enabled policy makers to propose future developments and evaluate the possible effectiveness of various interventions [ 25 ]. Over 6000 papers have been published on long COVID since the beginning of the pandemic; however, there are still many unanswered questions regarding its prevalence, frequency, predisposing risk factors, treatment, and rehabilitation [ 8 ].…”

Most Common Long COVID Physical Symptoms in Working Age Adults Who Experienced Mild COVID-19 Infection: A Scoping Review

et al. 2022

Background: One-third of patients who recover from COVID-19 present with long COVID. Their symptoms are broad, affecting their physical functioning and, ultimately, their quality of life. Many of those individuals who develop long COVID, possibly from a mild COVID-19 infection, are in the 18–65 age group. This prolongation of malaise directly influences national workforce economies. Objectives: To summarise the commonly reported physical symptoms of long COVID in order to inform potential adjustments in healthcare for the employable population. Methods: The Embase, CINAHL, Medline, SCOPUS, and WHO COVID-19 databases were searched. The study selection process was based on the PRISMA guidelines. The extracted data were synthesised and presented narratively. Results: 7403 studies were accessed, comprising 60 cohort studies and 10 case series/studies, representing 289,213 patients who met our criteria. The most frequently reported physical symptoms were fatigue (92%), shortness of breath (SOB) (81.8%), muscle pain (43.6%), and joint pain (34.5%). Conclusions: The range of reported physical symptoms was broad and varied; the main ones being fatigue, breathlessness/SOB, and pain. Similarities observed between long COVID and other post-acute infection syndromes may help formulate protocols to manage and promote recovery for long COVID patients. Inconsistencies were evident, particularly with a lack of adherence to the standardised definitions of long COVID.

“…Song et al found the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has increased uncertainties in economic policy (EPU). Studying how EPU changes over time has important implications for how the central bank implements monetary policy [1]. This result shows the impact of monetary policy on the output gap and inflation gap.…”

At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in a big way and soon spread across the world. Among other things, another pressing concern for the entire society is how the outbreak will affect the national economy. One of the main areas of study in today's society is how the epidemic will affect the economy. Researchers have investigated the significant impact of the Chinese economy on the New Crown epidemic, yet current explanations of the impact are rather scattered. Therefore, the effect of the epidemic on China's real economy serves as the study's central focus. In this paper, GDP data is collected and analyzed in a comparative manner. The results show that the real economy was severely affected by the decline in GDP due to the epidemic. At the same time, the article discusses fiscal and monetary policies and analyses how solutions can help people and businesses.
