The purpose of this research study is to find out if CCP is safe and to determine the safest and most effective level of anti-viral antibody when given to people admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Participants enrolled on this study will be transfused with 2 units of CCP through an IV. These units will be given one at a time 4 to 24 hours apart. Participants will be randomized to receive either 2 units with standard antibody levels as recommended by the FDA or 2 units with an antibody level higher than that recommended by the FDA. This study is experimental and CCP is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19. The CCP is collected per FDA guidelines from persons recovered from COVID-19 infection. The plasma contains antibodies and possibly other properties that inhibit the virus. The investigators do not know if the level of antibodies present in the CCP will make a difference in how the participant's body is able to fight the infection and hope to learn that in this study.

The aim of the study is to identify what sender/signal combinations are most persuasive in encouraging low socioeconomic males living in the U.S. to take-up seasonal flu vaccination. The investigators plan to recruit male subjects and randomly assign them to four persuasion treatments: three of which vary dimensions of the sender of a medical recommendation (racial concordance and authority treatments) and one which varies the signal (standard vs. empathetic). Specifically, the investigators will show subjects videos of either Black or white actors/actresses providing scripted information on the flu vaccination. The investigators will randomize the race of the sender and if the subject is Black, also randomize the authority of the sender, with the actor portraying either a doctor or a layperson. In addition, the investigators will vary the script used in the experiment between one that acknowledges past injustices (indicated as an empathetic script hereafter) and one that does not (indicated as a standard script hereafter). The investigators will provide subjects a free flu shot coupon and elicit the price at which subjects would be willing to give up this coupon for a cash reward. Lastly, in light of the relevance of vaccination take-up in combating COVID-19 pandemic, the investigators will assess demand for information about a COVID-19 vaccine, with subjects invited to receive results of a safety and efficacy review from a trusted or standard source. The design requires the collection of baseline and endline surveys combined with administrative data from pharmacies about coupon redemption. The primary outcomes of interest are posterior beliefs about seasonal flu vaccination, demand and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a free flu shot coupon, redemption of the coupon, and demand for information about a COVID-19 vaccine.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly transmittable person-to-person when an infected individual coughs, sneezes or talks while within at least 6 feet (1.8 m) of a neighboring individual. Guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that nose and mouth facial coverings are recommended at all levels for source control as a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplet transmission. It is important to remember that increased viral shedding occurs during elevated ventilatory rates that are observed during exercise within a shared space, such as gyms or fitness studios increase the rate of transmission. However, there is limited research studying the effects of mask use during exercise, and no research evaluating these effects specifically during resistance-based exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to examine the effects of wearing a surgical face mask while performing resistance exercise on average peak force, total work, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and breathing discomfort.

Background: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabbing is being used to test for SARS-CoV-2 infection. For this, a swab is inserted deep into the back of the nose to collect a sample. It can cause discomfort for most people. Researchers want to find an easier way to collect samples. Objective: To learn if testing for SARSCoV-2 with a saliva sample only, a nasal swab from just the front part of the nostril only, or a saliva sample plus a nasal swab gives results that are as accurate as the NP swab. Eligibility: NIH staff members age 18 and older who are taking part in NIH CC SARS-CoV-2 surveillance. Design: The Occupational Medical Service (OMS) collects NP swabs as part of standard NIH staff screening. Participants will give 1 or 2 saliva samples and 1 or 2 nasal swabs when their NP swab is collected by OMS. If their NP swab was already collected, their OMS record will be reviewed for the result. If the NP swab result is positive, the participant will have another NP swab. At that time, they will also give 1 or 2 saliva samples and 1 or 2 nasal swabs. If the NP swab result is negative, they will give 1 or 2 saliva samples and 1 or 2 nasal swabs the next time they have an NP swab. For the saliva sample, participants will spit into a tube. For the nasal swab, the inside of the front part of the nostril will be swabbed. Participation ends after the study samples are collected. Participants can choose to keep giving saliva and nasal swab samples each time they have an NP swab.

This phase II trial studies the effect of baricitinib in combination with antiviral therapy for the treatment of patients with moderate or severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Treatment with antiviral medications such as hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, and/or remdesivir may act against infection caused by the virus responsible for COVID-19. Baricitinib may reduce lung inflammation. Giving baricitinib in combination with antiviral therapy may reduce the risk of the disease from getting worse and may help prevent the need for being placed on a ventilator should the disease worsen compared to antiviral therapy alone.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, enters type II pneumocytes using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). It is unclear whether ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) increase, decrease, or have no significant effect on ACE2 expression or activity. Therefore, ACEI and ARB may be harmful, beneficial, or have no impact on Coronavirus Disease 2019 severity and mortality. The Specific Aims of this observational study are: (1) Among SARS-CoV-2-positive outpatients, compare all-cause hospitalization and mortality rates between: 1.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 1.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens, and (2) Among those hospitalized for COVID-19, compare all-cause mortality between: 2.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 2.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens.

Low doses of radiation in the form of chest X-rays have been used to treat people with pneumonia. This treatment was found to be effective by reducing inflammation and with minimal side effects. However, it was an expensive treatment and was eventually replaced with less costly treatments such as antibiotics. Radiation has also been shown in some animal experiments to reduce some types of inflammation. Some patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia will experience worsening disease, which can become very serious, requiring the use of a ventilator. This is caused by inflammation in the lung from the virus and the immune system. For this study, the x-ray given is called radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-ray beams from a large machine to target the lungs and reduce inflammation. Usually, it is given at much higher doses to treat cancers. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a single treatment of low-dose x-rays to the lungs might reduce the amount of inflammation in the lungs from a COVID-19 infection, which could help a patient to breathe without use of a ventilator.
