The raging COVID-19 pandemic has been a great source of anxiety, distress, and stress among the population. Along with mandates for social distancing and infection control measures, the growing importance of managing and cultivating good mental well-being practices cannot be disregarded. The purpose of this commentary is to outline and discuss some research-proven positive well-being and stress reduction strategies to instill healthy coping mechanisms among individuals and community members. The authors anticipate that usage of these strategies at the individual and the community level should greatly benefit the mental well-being not only in the current COVID-19 pandemic but also in any future epidemics at the national level.

Background SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing shows the prevalence of COVID-19 disease in different communities and has epidemiological significance. Methods SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG were tested in 319 patients, staff and visitors of a primary care clinic in Las Vegas, NV on a continuous as-requested basis. Results Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was 3.76% in a primary care office in Las Vegas, NV. Positivity of IgM was 0.31% and IgG 3.44%. The most common symptoms reported amongst those who tested positive were cough, shortness of breath and loss of smell and taste. The most common comorbidities included hypertension, chronic lung disease, seasonal allergies, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in that order. Conclusion Prevalence was 2.3% in Washoe County, NV in June 2020 and 3.76% in Clark County, NV in April-June 2020. This has important implications for heavily populated urban areas.

Spezifität zugelassener Antikörpertests zwischen 84,90 % bzw.…”
