Background: Respiratory viruses, like the flu or COVID-19, cause significant illness and death worldwide. Researchers want to collect samples from people with respiratory virus infections. The samples in this natural history study will be used in future research. Objective: To obtain samples from people with respiratory viruses to learn more about respiratory virus infections and the immune responses against them. Eligibility: People aged 3 and older who have or are suspected to have a respiratory virus infection. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical record review. Participants will give blood samples. Data from their medical records will be collected. Participants will give nose samples. A soft plastic strip will be put into each nostril for a minute. They may also give nose, mouth (back of the throat), or saliva samples using swabs. Participants may receive kits by mail to collect nose and blood samples at home. They will use soft plastic strips to collect nose samples. To collect blood, they will prick their finger and dab a few drops of blood on four plastic tips. If a participant is in the hospital, air samples may be collected in their room. Participation will last for up to 2 years. After 2 years, participants may be asked for their consent again to give new samples and new medical data.

This research is being done to study a mindfulness intervention among people who have symptoms of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as Long COVID. Mindfulness is defined as paying attention to the present moment with non-judgment and acceptance. Here the investigators are studying whether a mindfulness intervention can help reduce stress, reduce Long COVID symptoms, and improve quality of life among people living with Long COVID. The mindfulness intervention is a series of recorded mindfulness sessions, which were created by the study team. People who decide to take part will be randomly assigned to receive the study mindfulness intervention immediately after joining the study or to receive the study mindfulness intervention 8 weeks after joining the study. All participants will continue their usual medical care. Participants will complete online surveys to measure symptoms over time. The study will last 6 months.

Aerosol Generating Medical Procedures (AGMP) are procedures that have the potential to create tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles can contain germs such as viruses. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience unusually high rates of critical illness that needs advanced airway management and intensive care unit admission. Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation, endotracheal Intubation (ETI) and chest compressions are sometimes required for critically ill COVID-19 patients, and may contribute to a high risk of infection amongst Health Care Workers (HCW). To lessen HCW risk during high-risk procedures, a device called an aerosol box has been developed to place over the head of the patient, shielding the provider's face from virus droplets suspended in the air. The purpose of this research study is to better understand how particles disperse during AGMPs, more specifically during the provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The project team hopes what is learned from the project can help inform infection control measures. This could help make changes to the clinical environment and make it safer for HCW's. The investigators intend to explore how an aerosol box performs in reducing contamination of HCW's who perform critical airway interventions during resuscitation events.

COVID-19 can trigger a dysregulated immune response, and previous studies have shown that immune modulation can improve outcomes in hospitalized patients. This trial is designed to determine whether intensification of immune modulation early in the course of the disease (while patients are on low flow oxygen) with abatacept (active arm) combined with standard of care (SOC) improves recovery as compared with placebo + SOC (placebo arm). For both groups, intensification of immunomodulation will be provided as part of SOC in case of signs of disease progression (patient requires high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or more support) and/or if the patient has rapidly increasing oxygen requirement.

The overall goal of this project is to advance the understanding of underlying mechanisms impacting performance fatigability and perceived fatigability in Veterans with post-COVID-19 fatigue and explore the safety and feasibility of a home-based "minimal-dose" resistance exercise program in this population. The central hypothesis is that declines in force capacity, skeletal muscle oxygen extraction, and affective responses to physical activity offer potential mechanisms through which fatigability is increased in Veterans with post-COVID-19 fatigue. Moreover, home-based resistance exercise delivered remotely may provide a safe and feasibility treatment option for targeting neuromuscular and neurobehavioral factors influencing fatigability severity in this population.

The study will test two tactics to improve uptake of two vaccines in adults. The vaccines prevent COVID-19 and influenza. Both are common and harmful. Most adults do not get either vaccine. This is despite strong recommendations that all adults get both vaccines. The study will involve adult patients at eight Mayo Clinic primary care practices in Rochester and Kasson. The study will test the two tactics together. Four clinics will get the two tactics. The other four clinics will not. The study will randomly assign the two tactics to the clinics. One tactic is to send a letter by US mail to the patient. The letter will state strong recommendations on getting both vaccines now. It will tell patients how to get the vaccines now. The second tactic is to send monthly emails to clinicians. It will remind them to use every visit to vaccinate patients against COVID-19 and influenza. The study will compare the uptake of the two vaccines after six months in the clinics with and without the two tactics.

The proposed project will implement and evaluate a brief Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention through the Albany Area Primary Health Care, a rural Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The primary goal of this study is to maximize effective outreach, education, and communication through CHWs in order to facilitate improved COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in underserved and vulnerable communities. CHWs will be deployed to the homes of adults with increased risk of morbidity and mortality (i.e., African Americans or Latinos with uncontrolled diabetes or prediabetes, age <50 years, and non-COVID-19 vaccinated) in order to educate them about diabetes, COVID-19 and related vaccines. Health assessments, including blood glucose measurement, will be conducted on the indexed patient and offered to all other adult family members in the household (i.e., "bubble"). Adults with Type 2 diabetes likely live in households with other adults who have or are at increased risk for diabetes (i.e., prediabetes and obesity).1 It is expected that they will also share similar COVID-19 exposure risk. The specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate a community-driven education program to increase and enhance COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and their families (i.e., their "bubble") and 2) Evaluate a community-driven education program to improve diabetes self-management behaviors and related outcomes (e.g., blood glucose) in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes in rural, Southwest Georgia.
