On December 27, 2021 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced changes to their guidance for individuals who are exposed to or test positive for COVID-19. The revised recommendations have prompted widespread discussion of both the scientific rationale and communication strategy, including criticism from the American Medical Association. In this survey study, we assessed understanding of and trust in the CDC's initial public statement about the new guidance among US adults.

“…Seismic fault zones often span multiple cities and even provinces, and differences in magnitude and focal depth of earthquakes mean that potential economic losses and social trauma are extremely difficult to estimate [4,5]. e complexity and interconnectivity of crises caused by earthquakes these days are increasing, so the degree of coordination between government and social entities has a direct bearing on the effectiveness of earthquake crisis management [55,56]. Follow-up research can explore the diverse ways social entities can participate in governance from the perspective of disaster management at multiple scales, including clarifying rights and responsibilities, strengthening policies and regulations, and optimizing the development environment of social entities, to build empirical and efficient mechanisms for coordinating and governing diverse entities during regional public crises.…”

Assessing seismic risk is an essential element of urban risk management and urban spatial security work. In response to the issues posed by the complexity and openness of urban systems, the nonlinearity of driving factors, and sudden changes in geological processes that affect urban seismic research, this paper is based on a variety of intelligent algorithms to develop a hybrid intelligent model that integrates probability and vulnerability to evaluate and quantify the difference in the urban spatial units distribution of earthquake risk. We applied this model to Hefei, one of the few superlarge provincial capital cities on the “Tancheng-Lujiang” fault zone, one of the four major earthquake zones in China, which suffers frequent earthquakes. Our method combined the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and backpropagation neural network methods (BP) to automatically calculate rules from inputted data on known seismic events and predict the probability of seismic events in unknown areas. Then, based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), spatial appraisal and valuation of environment and ecosystems method (SAVEE), and EMYCIN model, an urban seismic vulnerability was evaluated from the four perspectives of buildings, risk of secondary disasters, socioeconomic conditions, and urban emergency response capabilities. In the next step, the overall urban seismic risk was obtained by standardizing and superimposing seismic probability and vulnerability. Using the hybrid intelligent model, earthquake probability, seismic vulnerability, and overall seismic risk were obtained for Hefei, and the spatial characteristics of its overall seismic risk were examined. This study concludes that areas with very high, high, low, and very low earthquake risk in Hefei account for 8.10%, 31.90%, 40.94%, and 19.06% of its total area, respectively. Areas with very high earthquake risk are concentrated in the old city, the government affairs district, Science City, and Xinzhan District. This study concludes that government authorities of Hefei should target earthquake safety measures consisting of basic earthquake mitigation measures and pre- and postearthquake emergency measures. In the face of regional disasters such as earthquakes, coordinating and governing should be strengthened between cities and regions.
