IQVIA Joins FDA to Advance COVID-19 Understanding at Community Level through COVID Active Research Experience (CARE) Project

October 13, 2020

IQVIA™ (NYSE: IQV), in scientific partnership with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, will provide agile analytics from IQVIA’s CARE Project COVID-19 registry to support better understanding of how people in the community are affected by exposure to the coronavirus. IQVIA’s research will show what symptoms individuals experience, the length and severity and whether any medications or vitamin supplements they are taking affect the severity of their coronavirus symptoms.

The CARE Project is open to U.S. based residents who think they may have been exposed to the coronavirus, regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with COVID-19, including people who have continued with everyday life and may have been exposed. The project was established to advance understanding of COVID-19 as experienced in community settings.

The registry was launched in April 2020 and can be accessed at www.helpstopcovid19.com. Over three months, registrants are periodically asked to provide information

It was more than a year ago when the Campus Council on Community and Diversity chose the topic of “mental health” as the theme for the 2020-21 Campus Community Book Project.

The council at that time had no way of knowing about the pandemic that would arrive in March 2020, making the “mental health” theme all the more important.

UC Davis curtailed operations (except for health care), and many employees started working from home. Students switched to remote learning. Many employees continue to work remotely, balancing their job and child care responsibilities (including being their children’s schoolteachers). Then came the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the resulting protests. Then came the wildfires, some of the biggest the state has ever seen, with many UC Davis affiliates having to evacuate and some losing their homes.

And, through it all, people have been worried about

In addition to the steroids, Mr. Trump has received an experimental antibody cocktail and is in the midst of a five-day course of remdesivir, an antiviral drug. The White House has a medical unit capable of responding to a president’s health troubles but not with the sophisticated equipment available at Walter Reed.

Mr. Trump, who historically hates hospitals and anything related to illness, has been hankering to get released, according to two people close to him, and some aides expressed fear that he would pressure Dr. Conley into releasing him by claiming to feel better than he actually does. But advisers were also troubled by the doctors’ prediction that they might release him on Monday because if they do not, it would signal that the president is not doing as well as indicated. They also worried that a premature return could lead to a second trip to the hospital if

Sonora, CA — Calaveras County has received a sizeable donation to help continue its program that assists homeless residents during the time of COVID-19.

In addition to sheltering homeless residents who are exposed, or at high risk, for coronavirus, the county-operated program offers clients housing-focused case management. It helps them identify the barriers they face and create a plan to achieve housing stability.

Dignity Health is donating a $282,000 grant to the program to allow it to continue for at least six more months.

“In Calaveras County, we’ve seen remarkable success in protecting the capacity of our local healthcare system by helping people experiencing homelessness to care for themselves, thus reducing unnecessary hospitalizations,” said Doug Archer, Mark Twain Medical Center president and CEO.

“We know that social distancing is an effective prevention measure, but this isn’t always possible for people who don’t have
