The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted deleterious US health inequities. Specifically, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans have and continue to shoulder a greater burden of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the US. In addition to existing racial and ethnic disparities are rural health and regional disparities. Given the disproportionate impact of disease in US communities of color and also in rural and southern regions of the US, there is no doubt that these at-risk subgroups will continue to experience higher rates of coronavirus-related mortality as well as other long-term health outcomes as compared to other US populations. It is unknown how healthcare providers and other key at-risk subgroups within the US will receive COVID-19 vaccines. For success in immunizations, the US will need to reach their most at-risk and vulnerable populations. In addition to at-risk populations, a successful immunization strategy will involve engaging providers to support clear, consistent, and strong vaccine recommendation. It is critical to build vaccine trust, confidence, and overall acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers and key at-risk subgroups, especially given the accelerated production timeline of these vaccines. Likewise, tailored vaccine messaging for key subgroups is vital in achieving vaccine confidence and trust. The proposed study will explore perceptions, confidence, trust, and uptake of potential COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers (nurses and doctors) and key at-risk population subgroups (minority populations living in the rural south) and will develop and test vaccine messaging that boosts vaccine confidence and trust among these key at-risk subgroups.

The mortality rates associated with COVID-19 related ARDS (COVIDARDS) have varied from observational reports from around the world. This has ranged from 44% (28 day mortality) in the UK to 36% (28 day mortality from ICU admission) in Italian studies, to 32% (all-cause 28 day mortality) in Spain. Predictive models have identified risk factors for COVID-19 hospitalized patients' mortality to include male sex, obesity, age, obesity, comorbidities including chronic lung disease and hypertension, as well as biomarkers including high levels of D-Dimer, LDH and CRP. In addition, practice patterns, such as drugs that were administered, timing of mechanical ventilation and adherence to established lung protective ventilation protocols are known to be variable across sites and have changed over time. The investigators propose to analyze outcomes for patients with COVIDARDS within the NorthCARDS dataset (a dataset of over 1500 patients with COVID-19 related ARDS across the Northwell Health System in the NYC metropolitan region and Long Island, NY) to understand differences in hospital survival and in the time to liberation from mechanical ventilation, specifically looking at the associations between baseline patient factors, changes in biomarkers, respiratory function and hemodynamics over time, and treatments administered. The analyses will be based on three hypotheses: H.1. Worsening trajectories of: oxygenation index (OI), respiratory system compliance (C), and inflammatory markers will be associated with lower hospital survival. H.2. Higher duration of deep sedation and paralytics will be associated with greater time to liberation from mechanical ventilation. This risk will be increased in patients with worsening trajectories of OI, C, and inflammatory markers over time. H.3. Type of mechanical ventilator, specifically the time on portable mechanical ventilator, is associated with hospital mortality and with inability to liberate from mechanical ventilator despite controlling for risk factors of changes in OI, C and Inflammatory markers over time, and the use of paralytics and deep sedation.

The overall purpose of this study is to address the factors associated with an individual's personal willingness to get the vaccine and attitudes about potential public policy approaches to implementation of a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Additionally, to evaluate how these attitudes change over time. The 1200 participants will be recruited by Ipsos (Ipsos KnowledgePanel®) from their nationally representative panel to participate in a survey at Time 1 and 1 year later. The information collected will include demographics, health status, household composition, experiences with COVID-19, attitudes about vaccines in general, COVID-19 vaccine specific attitudes, willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine acceptability, and attitudes regarding COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The investigators anticipate that those who live in urban areas and who are older, have greater knowledge of COVID-19, who have known someone who was hospitalized for COVID-19, and have generally positive attitudes about vaccines will be more willing to get a vaccine. The primary reasons for willingness will be personal safety and desire to return to normal activities. The investigators also anticipate that those who vary on socio-demographics (e.g., live in urban areas, have more liberal political views), have greater knowledge of COVID-19, who have known someone who was hospitalized for COVID- 19, and have generally positive attitudes about vaccines will be more supportive of mandatory vaccination strategies. The investigators anticipate that attitudes will change over time in response to the current status of the pandemic and of available data about the vaccine's efficacy and safety.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoC-2), the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is associated with a high incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. Aging, obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other risk factors associated with abnormal lipid and carbohydrate metabolism are risk factors for death in COVID-19. Recent studies suggest that COVID-19 progression is dependent on metabolic mechanisms. Moreover, gene expression analyses in cultured human bronchial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 and lung tissue from patients with COVID-19, indicated a marked shift in cellular metabolism, with excessive intracellular lipid generation. In this cell culture system, fenofibrate (a widely available low-cost generic drug approved by the FDA and multiple other regulatory agencies around the world to treat dyslipemias) at concentrations that can be achieved clinically, markedly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 viral replication. Fenofibrate also has immunomodulatory effects that may be beneficial in the setting of COVID-19. The aim of this trial is to assess the clinical impact of fenofibrate (145 mg/d of Tricor or dose-equivalent preparations for 10 days, with dose adjustment in chronic kidney disease ([CKD]) to improve clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

COVID-19 Viral Global Pandemic resulting in post-infection pulmonary damage, including Fibrotic Lung Disease due to inflammatory and reactive protein secretions damaging pulmonary alveolar structure and functionality. A short review includes: - Early December, 2019 - A pneumonia of unknown cause was detected in Wuhan, China, and was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office. - January 30th, 2020 - The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. - February 7th, 2020 - 34-year-old Ophthalmologist who first identified a SARS-like coronavirus) dies from the same virus. - February 11th, 2020 - WHO announces a name for the new coronavirus disease: COVID-19. - February 19th, 2020 - The U.S. has its first outbreak in a Seattle nursing home which were complicated with loss of lives.. - March 11th, 2020 - WHO declares the virus a pandemic and in less than three months, from the time when this virus was first detected, the virus has spread across the entire planet with cases identified in every country including Greenland. - March 21st, 2020 - Emerging Infectious Disease estimates the risk for death in Wuhan reached values as high as 12% in the epicenter of the epidemic and ≈1% in other, more mildly affected areas. The elevated death risk estimates are probably associated with a breakdown of the healthcare system, indicating that enhanced public health interventions, including social distancing and movement restrictions, should be implemented to bring the COVID-19 epidemic under control." March 21st 2020 -Much of the United States is currently under some form of self- or mandatory quarantine as testing abilities ramp up.. March 24th, 2020 - Hot spots are evolving and identified, particularly in the areas of New York-New Jersey, Washington, and California. Immediate attention is turned to testing, diagnosis, epidemiological containment, clinical trials for drug testing started, and work on a long-term vaccine started. The recovering patients are presenting with mild to severe lung impairment as a result of the viral attack on the alveolar and lung tissues. Clinically significant impairment of pulmonary function appears to be a permanent finding as a direct result of the interstitial lung damage and inflammatory changes that accompanied. This Phase 0, first-in-kind for humans, is use of autologous, cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) deployed intravenously to examine the anti-inflammatory and structural potential to improve the residual, permanent damaged alveolar tissues of the lungs.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate for COVID-19 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) who require mechanical intubation is approximately 75%. While the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 has yet to be fully understood, it is possible that a combination of high viral loads and an overactive dysregulated inflammatory response may contribute. Therefore, the clearance of SARS-CoV-2 virus and cytokines could provide a more opportunistic environment for the innate immune system to clear the virus and establish lasting immunity. The Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph®-100) is an extracorporeal broad-spectrum sorbent hemoperfusion filter for removing virus and cytokines from the blood. The FDA authorized an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for treatment of severe COVID-19 with the Seraph®-100. As part of the EUA, this registry study will collect de-identified data to assess safety and efficacy on the use of Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
