This study is aimed at investigating the performance of Gold-backed cryptocurrencies during the COVID-19 crisis and in particular, during the bear market of 2020. Analysis is conducted on the daily returns of PAX Gold from 2 October 2019 to 28 September 2020 using the ARMA-GARCH model. The results are compared with those of Paxos Standard (PAX) and Gold during the same period. The results show the mean returns of the three financial instruments increase during crisis periods but the increase is insignificant. PAX Gold experiences increased volatility during the COVID-19 crisis and the bear market but the increase is insignificant.

Since December 2019, the global dissemination of a novel coronavirus has precipitated a notable public health crisis, prompting considerable interest and scrutiny from governmental and scholarly entities. Substantial research efforts have been dedicated to exploring diverse facets of this novel coronavirus, encompassing its pathogenesis, transmission dynamics, and therapeutic interventions. Recent findings suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs) exert a pivotal influence on modulating viral infectivity and immune defense mechanisms.

The COVID-19 pandemic is highly contagious, with symptoms such as myalgia, cough, fever, and weakness, posing a greater risk to older adults and individuals with chronic conditions. Effective management requires meaningful community involvement to reduce health inequalities and ensure people-centered health care. Engaging local voices, including leaders, health care professionals, and vulnerable populations, enhances decision-making, transparent communication, and resource mobilization.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused an unprecedented global public health crisis and continues to pose grave threats to human health. The efficacy of current vaccines and therapeutics is likely limited for future emerging strains due to the highly mutative nature of the virus, underscoring an urgent need for the development of new, potent antiviral agents. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a series of novel 2'-deoxy-2'-spirooxetane-7-deazapurine nucleoside analogs as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 replication.

Background: (1)Due to the mental health crisis that has spiraled since the onset of COVID-19, particularly among the nation's youth, the purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a novel, school-based mental health intervention for high school students (ages 15-17 years). This project's main aim was to determine which intervention modality was more effective with students across two school districts with varying degrees of rurality (in-person delivery vs. remote delivery).
