“…This fear was mirrored by their parents. The call of duty will be above all fears as said by 74.8% (N = 220) students similar to study by Thomas H et al [16]. Working in the hospital would ease the stress felt by the frontline doctors and according to 50.7% (N = 149) while 37.4% (N = 110) were not sure similar to articles by David et al [3] and Howard et al [17].…”

Background: The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has upended medical education. This pandemic has risen uncertainty over the start of the normal routine of studies in medical universities. Amidst the worldwide shortage of doctors, there is widespread dilemma and disagreement regarding the role of the medical students during this pandemic. Medical education is suspended and the students are barred from being direct medical providers unless there is a critical need for the additional healthcare workforce. Considering these facts we have done a survey amongst medical students of pre-final and final year to know and evaluate their opinion and outlook regarding their involvement in the hospital work at the time of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. Materials and Method: This is a cross-sectional study among the clinic going medical students of Government Doon Medical College Dehradun, India. It is used to know their opinion regarding their voluntary initiative to actively participate and usefulness in the hospital works while going through their classes and hospital postings. We have circulated a questionnaire among 385 medical students to know their mindset and formulate a plan to include them in the future clinical hospital works in case the pandemic situation worsens.Statistical analysis is performed using SPSS version 25. Chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between the two variables. A two-tailed p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 294 respondents 62.2% had a high motivation to work in the hospital. This was synergized by the worldwide appreciation of doctors according to 88.8% of students. A sense of duty towards the patients was clear by the responses which surpassed the fear of the disease and the belief of being a better doctor (94.2%). Conclusion: The majority of medical students were highly motivated to be a part of the hospital workforce and help to fight this apocalyptic pandemic.

“…4 This pandemic not only shifted the medical practice of PM&R but also had a great impact on medical education. 5 Fellows and residents faced alterations in their schedules and routines as many were redeployed to other services to work with COVID-19 positive patients in the emergency department, intensive care unit, or other medical unit. 3 In an effort to not slow education, didactics and other learning opportunities moved to the virtual realm.…”

“…Over nine hundred thousand Americans are confirmed to have contracted SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as of April 25th, 2020 [1]. Efforts to stem the spread of the disease have resulted in unprecedented societal disruptions [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. These efforts have largely taken the form of mandated or recommended social distancing measures by state and local governments.…”

Social distancing measures, with varying degrees of restriction, have been imposed around the world in order to stem the spread of COVID-19. In this work we analyze the effect of current social distancing measures in the United States. We quantify the reduction in doubling rate, by state, that is associated with social distancing. We find that social distancing is associated with a statistically-significant reduction in the doubling rate for all but three states. At the same time, we do not find significant evidence that social distancing has resulted in a reduction in the number of daily confirmed cases. Instead, social distancing has merely stabilized the spread of the disease. We provide an illustration of our findings for each state, including point estimates of the effective reproduction number, R, both with and without social distancing. We also discuss the policy implications of our findings.
