Name: Brian Krans Healthline

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b6ev@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 25 August

Query:

Hello.

I'm seeking sources for a story for Healthline.com about why
it's probably still a bad idea to go to a movie theater
considering the state of COVID-19 in the United States.

I'm hoping to speak with experts who understand how COVID-19
spreads and how normal movie-watching behavior (i.e. drinking,
eating, laughing, etc.) would make germ spreading an unnecessary
risk right now.

My deadline for responses is EOD Tuesday.

Telehealth has taken on new life under COVID-19 and Medicare is

encounters? Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News

Media Outlet: Verywell Health

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 25 August

Query:

Hello! I am working on an article about the first reported case
of coronavirus reinfection and was wondering if any physicians
or disease experts could weigh in on any of these three things:
1. The patient's case was supposedly mild the first time around,
and he was asymptomatic the second time. Does this lend credence
to the idea that a more severe infection mounts a more robust
immune response? 2. I am seeing that when researchers sequenced
the virus from the two infections, there was "a difference of 24
nucleotides" -- how many nucleotides would be considered a
negligible difference? Can you explain what a nucleotide is for
those who don't know? 3. Why would researchers have sequenced
this person's infection the first time around, when he was just
another guy with a mild case of COVID? How did they have his
genetic info available?

Query:

You spent months posting content that followed a social media
long term plan for your business. You had the right template,
great images and copy to go with it. Your Instagram account
looks good. However, in reality, your content is falling
spectacularly flat as no one is engaging with it, therefore, no
sales and no growth in any direction whatsoever.

How to change it having in mind that you already spent time and
money creating your content to last you a few months, so it
isn't like that you can simply click your fingers and start from
scratch with a whole new long calendar in 10 minutes.

Requirements:

Specifically looking for digital professionals and businesses
owners that have decided to change their strategy for Instagram.
It isn't about deleting a post that didn't get as many likes as

have cost you (and your team, agency) time and money and what
happened after that.

Name: Judy Mandell ny times

Category: General

Email: query-b6l6@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: ny times

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 25 August

Query:

I am proposing an article to the New York Times titled "'I Hope
You Are Well,' 'Be Well', 'Stay Safe'--Is the Pandemic Changing
the Way We Communicate? The Do's and Don'ts of E-mails."

It used to be that when people began their emails with the
greeting, "I hope you are well," my usual response was "I don't
know you and I'm well enough to delete your email without
reading further."

Not true anymore. Today, with the Covid-19 pandemic, if you
don't start with "I hope you are well," you seem uncaring.

How is communication changing today?

How are e-mails different?

Should you say, "stay well, be safe ... on and on, whether you
know the person or not?

I am looking for people for an informal survey of how they now
feel about communication and e-mail today.

I will interview etiquette experts for their recommendations.

I will ask them to answer questions by e-mail for starters.

What is the best greeting etiquette? And how best to sign off?

What approaches are best for various situations?

What is the best way to start an e-mail?

Should you start your e-mail with "I hope this e-mail finds you
well even if you do not know the person?

Other thoughts about communication by e-mail today.
