Abstract
Responding to COVID-19 requires strong epidemiological evidence of environmental and societal determining factors
Highlights
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and associated COVID-19 have caused a global emergency that requires an engaged, integrated, interdisciplinary, and rapid response from the scientific community
As a community of environmental epidemiology and public health researchers, is that this rapidity of publication and peer review has made possible the publication of studies that are simple to do and understand, but are inadequate at addressing the complexity, drivers, and impacts of the pandemic. Such studies have been captivating for the media and the general public, but could be considered to contribute more to noise than to a robust epidemiological evidence base.[1]
Among the complex environmental influences on the occurrence and spread of SARS-CoV-2, those related to climate change are of primary importance, but are potentially indirect and more difficult to document, similar to other infections linked to climate
Summary
Responding to COVID-19 requires strong epidemiological evidence of environmental and societal determining factors Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and associated COVID-19 have caused a global emergency that requires an engaged, integrated, interdisciplinary, and rapid response from the scientific community.
