When can we stop wearing masks? Agent-based modeling to identify when vaccine coverage makes nonpharmaceutical interventions for reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections redundant in indoor gatherings

Farthing, T. S., & Lanzas, C. (2021, April 27). (Vol. 4). Vol. 4.

By: T. Farthing n  & C. Lanzas n 

topics (OpenAlex): COVID-19 epidemiological studies; Infection Control and Ventilation; COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts
TL;DR: It is found that nonpharmaceutical interventions will often reduce secondary attack rates, especially during brief interactions, and therefore there is no definitive vaccination coverage level that makes nonpharaceutical interventions completely redundant, and the reduction effect on absolute SARS-CoV-2 infection risk conferred by nonphARMaceutical interventions is likely proportional to COVID-19 prevalence.

By: T. Farthing n , D. Dawson  n, M. Sanderson* & C. Lanzas n 

author keywords: animal behavior; biotelemetry; contact network; global positioning system; movement ecology; R package; radio telemetry; real-time location
topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation; Human-Animal Interaction Studies
TL;DR: Using the methods described herein and the associated R package, called contact, researchers can derive polygons from RTLS points and it is shown that these polygons are highly versatile for contact network creation and can be used to answer a wide variety of epidemiological, ethological, and sociological research questions.

topics (OpenAlex): Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies; Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics; Rangeland and Wildlife Management
TL;DR: The findings were generally consistent with previous research indicating herbicide use induces few-to-no long-term shifts in soil microbial communities, but the necessity for microbiological field-study designs to include multiple locations is highlighted. (via Semantic Scholar)
