This may be the most overlooked COVID symptom Penn In the News The New York Times This may be the most overlooked COVID symptom Ken Cadwell of the Perelman School of Medicine studies how COVID affects the gut and explains you will feel the illness in other parts of your body and not just your lungs. Avoidable deaths during COVID-19 associated with chronic hospital nurse understaffing Image: iStock/sudok1 Avoidable deaths during COVID-19 associated with chronic hospital nurse understaffing A new first-of-its-kind study from Penn Nursing shows that individuals with COVID-19 were more likely to die in hospitals that were chronically understaffed before the pandemic. Text reminders about COVID-19 boosters are as effective as free rides, new study finds (Image: dusanpetkovic) Text reminders about COVID-19 boosters are as effective as free rides, new study finds In a new megastudy, Katy Milkman of the Wharton School and collaborators at Penn’s Behavior Change for Good Initiative led research on reminders and free rides to and from pharmacies to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates. Knowledge a factor in closing Black-white COVID-19 vaccination gap Image: iStock/SeventyFour Knowledge a factor in closing Black-white COVID-19 vaccination gap New research from the Annenberg Public Policy Center shows that exposure to knowledge about vaccine safety and efficacy from trusted sources can matter. How unflagged, factual content drives vaccine hesitancy Image: iStock/zubada How unflagged, factual content drives vaccine hesitancy A new paper from computational social scientist Duncan Watts examines how factual, vaccine-skeptical content on Facebook has a greater overall effect than “fake news,” discouraging millions from the COVID-19 shot.

Review of COVID death stats finds likely undercount in official numbers Penn In the News Minnesota Public Radio Review of COVID death stats finds likely undercount in official numbers A paper co-authored by Penn researchers found that COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. were likely undercounted in official statistics during the first 30 months of the pandemic. ‘Natural’ deaths likely COVID-19 related Many deaths during the pandemic which were not listed as /COVID-related may have, in fact, been as a result of COVID. In a collaborative study, researchers in the School of Arts & Sciences found that increases in non-COVID excess deaths occurred at the same time or in the month prior to increases in reported COVID-19 deaths in most U.S. counties, indicating that many COVID deaths went uncounted as such.
