    Abstract Many governments currently recommend or mandate universal use of face masks amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Cloth face masks and makeshift face coverings—from bandanas and scarfs to do-it-yourself homemade and commercially available masks—are being advised for source control in many countries and regions to mitigate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. Unfortunately, instances of individuals inappropriately wearing masks are being witnessed in public and on social media as they have become part of our “new normal”...

    Abstract Scientists across disciplines, policymakers, and journalists have voiced frustration at the unprecedented polarization and misinformation around coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several false dichotomies have been used to polarize debates while oversimplifying complex issues. In this comprehensive narrative review, we deconstruct six common COVID-19 false dichotomies, address the evidence on these topics, identify insights relevant to effective pandemic responses, and highlight knowledge gaps and uncertainties. The topics of this review are: 1) Health and lives vs. economy and livelihoods, 2) Indefinite lockdown vs. unlimited reopening, 3) Symptomatic vs. asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, 4) Droplet vs. aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, 5) Masks for all vs. no masking, and 6) SARS-CoV-2 reinfection vs. no reinfection. We discuss the importance of multidisciplinary integration (health, social, and physical sciences), multilayered approaches to reducing risk ("Emmentaler cheese model"), harm reduction, smart masking, relaxation of interventions, and context-sensitive policymaking for COVID-19 response plans. We also address the challenges in understanding the broad clinical presentation of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. These key issues of science and public health policy have been presented as false dichotomies during the pandemic. However, they are hardly binary, simple, or uniform, and therefore should not be framed as polar extremes. We urge a nuanced understanding of the science and caution against black-or-white messaging, all-or-nothing guidance, and one-size-fits-all approaches. There is a need for meaningful public health communication and science-informed policies that recognize shades of gray, uncertainties, local context, and social determinants of health.

    Abstract Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a myriad of logical fallacies and cognitive biases have interfered with the understanding of the nuances and communication of evidence-based guidance. In particular, multiple false dilemmas have run rampant across social media with the pitfalls of black-or-white messaging and reductionist frameworks. In this article, we thoughtfully review the evidence around five COVID-19-related false dichotomies: 1) health and lives vs economy and livelihoods, 2) indefinite lockdown vs unlimited reopening, 3) symptomatic vs asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, 4) droplet vs aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and 5) masks for all vs no masking. While we acknowledge that there is not one unequivocal answer, we make a call for comprehensive messaging and science-informed tailored policies that reckon with gray shades, uncertainties, and social contexts.

    Abstract Objetivo. Aislar, identificar y caracterizar molecularmente aislamientos de Cryptococcus patógenos humanos a partir de muestras ambientales y clínicas de la ciudad de Cúcuta. Materiales y métodos. Se recolectaron 1300 muestras de 446 árboles de 10 especies diferentes, en 10 zonas públicas de Cúcuta. Concomitantemente, se obtuvieron aislados clínicos de Cryptococcus sp (junio de 2016-junio de 2017). Se realizó cultivo en agar semillas de Guizottia abysinica, posterior identificación bioquímica y caracterización genética mediante PCR-huella Digital y RFLP-URA5 Resultados. Se determinó prevalencia ambiental para C. neoformans de 4,3 % (19 individuos positivos) y C. gattii de 0,2 % (1 individuo positivo), para un total de 20 árboles positivos y 21 aislados (dos de un mismo individuo). El parque Santander registró el 47,6 % de la prevalencia global (10 / 21 aislados), seguido del parque La Victoria con 23,8 % (5/21 aislados), correspondientes a C. neoformans. Se obtuvo un aislado de C gattiien un individuo Ficus benjamina del parque Mercedes Ábrego. El análisis genotípico reveló presencia de C. neoformans var. grubii VNI en el 85,7% de los aislados ambientales, así como en el 100% de los clínicos, seguido de VNII y VGII en 9,5% y 4,8% de los aislados ambientales, respectivamente. Conclusión. El muestreo longitudinal de nichos ambientales con reporte previo del hongo revela su persistencia, requiriéndose de estudio permanente y búsqueda activa en pacientes, especialmente en zonas consideradas endémicas
