Introduction Socially-disadvantaged populations are more at risk of contracting COVID-19 than those with access to better medical facilities. We looked at responses of Klamath Tribes in Oregon, USA to mitigate spread of COVID-19 in a community with a higher incidence of obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease, compared to the general US population. This study reports on Klamath Tribes response to COVID-19 March -September 2020. Methods Klamath Tribes Tribal Health and Family Services established a COVID-19 Incident Management Team (IMT), instituting creative programs including a Walk-In Testing Center, implementing strict infection control protocols and regular sharing of information on the pandemic and prevalence of COVID-19 amongst Klamath Tribes. All COVID-19 tests were documented with positive cases isolated and people with high risk exposures quarantined and provided with wrap-around medical and social services until recovered or past quarantine time period. Results A total of 888 (12%) tribal members were tested for COVID1-19 between March to September 2020; 50 were found positive for COVID-19, giving a test positivity rate of 5.6% (Male – 6.3%; Female – 5.2%). No deaths have been reported amongst the local Klamath Tribes and other American Indians/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population served by the tribe. Conclusion Despite the fact that structural inequities including income disparities have shaped racial and ethnic impact of epidemics around the world, the timely response, establishment of partnerships and proactive control of the epidemic resulted in minimal impact among the Klamath Tribal and other AI/AN populations served by the tribal facilities.

Background. In a retrospective cohort study, we previously distinguished the factors associated with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) or dengue from those associated with other febrile illnesses (OFIs). In this study, we developed a scoring system to discriminate both infectious diseases. Methods. Predictors of both infections were sought using multinomial logistic regression models (OFIs as controls) in all subjects suspected of COVID-19 who attended the SARS-CoV-2 testing center of Saint-Pierre teaching hospital, Reunion Island, between March 23 and May 10, 2020. Two COVIDENGUE scores were developed and internally validated by bootstrapping for predicting each infection after weighting the odd ratios according to a predefined rule. The discriminative ability of each score was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Their calibration was assessed using goodness-of-fit statistics. Results. Over 49 days, 80 COVID-19, 60 non-severe dengue and 872 OFI cases were diagnosed. The translation of the best fit model yielded two COVIDENGUE scores composed of 11 criteria: contact with a COVID-19 positive case (+3 points for COVID-19; 0 point for dengue), return from travel abroad within 15 days (+3/-1), previous individual episode of dengue (+1/+3), active smoking (-3/0), body ache (0/+5), cough (0/-2), upper respiratory tract infection symptoms (-1/-1), anosmia (+7/-1), headache (0/+5), retro-orbital pain (-1/+5), and delayed presentation (>3 days) to hospital (+1/0). The AUC was of 0.79 (95%CI 0.76-0.82) for COVID-19 score and of 0.88 (95%CI 0.85-0.90) for dengue score. Calibration was satisfactory for COVID-19 score and excellent for dengue score. For predicting COVID-19, sensitivity was of 97% at the 0-point cut-off and specificity approximated 99% at the 10-point cut-off. For predicting dengue, sensitivity approximated 97% at the 3-point cut-off and specificity 98% at the 11-point cut-off. Conclusions. In conclusion, the COVIDENGUE scores proved discriminant to differentiate COVID-19 and dengue from other febrile illnesses in the context of SARS-CoV-2 testing center during a co-epidemic. Further studies are needed to validate or refine these scores in other settings.

The paper provides a review of materials on the development of testing facilities in the Scientific Testing Center of the Rocket and Space Industry and the issues involved in raising the efficiency and safety of experimental development of advanced cryogenic propulsion systems for launch vehicles intended for exploration of the near and deep space. It shows that the most dangerous tests are those that are conducted on engines and propulsion systems that use oxygen, methane and hydrogen as propellant components. They may involve containment failure in the propellant system in off-nominal situations — emergency releases of propellant components, explosions and fires. It provides calculation results for overpressure in the shock-wave front depending on the mass of the released hydrogen and the factor of its contribution to the explosion. It formulates special and additional safety measures for engine and propulsion system tests in a test facility. Key words: test facility (test stand), propulsion system, safety, off-nominal situation, cryogenic propellant components.
