This week, the focus is on remediating student learning setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in light of states’ planning for use of American Rescue Plan funding for schools. In addition, the CDC updated guidance on safely operating summer camps for youth.
Making Up Ground on Student Learning
Acute kidney injury in COVID-19
Data is continually emerging on how students are faring academically as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. From the near-universal school closures in March 2020 through widespread disruptions and shifting instructional modes throughout the 2020–21 school year, students’ educational progress has been affected, but researchers continue to study how and how much.

This week’s summary focuses on indoor air quality as a critical part of reducing within-school and within-classroom virus transmission risk.
This week’s summary highlights a few burning questions that have persisted throughout the pandemic – how COVID-19 has affected (1) employment, especially that of parents of school-age children, (2) students’ mental health and wellbeing, and (3) college life.
How is the economy, and particularly the labor market, doing?
Impact of cardiovascular disease on COVID-19
In this systematic review, the association of cardiovascular disease on COVID-19 is discussed. Researchers have found that underlying cardiovascular disease increases risk for infection and speculate that the virus and its receptor, inflammatory factors, stress response, hypoxic environment, and drug administration may affect development of adverse cardiac events. The article goes on to review the latest research on the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications as well as possible treatment mechanisms. Clinical data supports the correlation between COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications and lead to higher mortality risks and poor prognosis.
Intellectual Humility
Understanding the psychology of vaccination attitudes is arguably more important now than ever.
The authors of this article examine intellectual humility’s relationship with COVID-19 anti-vaccination and hesitant attitudes and intention to vaccinate using hierarchical regression and bivariate correlations. The authors define intellectual humility as a four-facet conceptualization:
As numerous studies have shown that just more than half of Americans report intending to get the COVID-19 vaccine, this week’s review focuses on vaccine hesitancy and how effective communication strategies can increase vaccine uptake.
