Biotech and Healthcare

1) Summary: Will a Flu Shot Help Me During the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Name: Jennifer Larson The Check Up

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b3ml@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Check Up

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 August

Query:

For now, the hot weather of summer reigns, but the beginning of
flu season is just around the corner. And this year, that could
be especially ominous, given the current state of the
coronavirus pandemic.

So I'm taking a look at what it means that we're about to enter
flu season while COVID-19 infections are still high.

This year, what should people do about getting a flu shot? Will
a flu shot also help them if they're exposed to COVID-19? Do any
of the strategies that experts recommend for preventing the flu
also apply to COVID-19--and vice versa? Is it possible to get
the flu and COVID-19 at the same time--and what could that
possibly mean for the unlucky person who does? Will they be able
to take antivirals like Tamiflu to counter the flu if they also
have COVID? Would it also help COVID?

I'm looking for a healthcare expert (preferably a physician,
nurse, or pharmacist) to answer questions like these and
provide some insight.

This is for an article that I'm writing for the consumer blog
The Check Up, which is owned by SingleCare. (You can check out
the blog here: https://www.singlecare.com/blog/). The readers
are people like your neighbors, your friends, and others who
aren't healthcare professionals themselves but want to get good
solid information to help them make good decisions about their
health and well-being.

Requirements:

Please contact me through HARO or via email at
larson_jennifer@yahoo.com if you or someone you represent is a
healthcare professional and can comment on this intersection of
the flu and COVID, especially when it comes to matters like
getting a flu shot.

2) Summary: How the Pandemic is Affecting the Nursing Profession

Name: Jennifer Larson TravelNursing.com

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b3mr@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: TravelNursing.com

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 7 August

Query:

I'm working on two different articles for a readership of
nurses, including registered nurses and advanced practice nurses.

The first topic: how has COVID-19 (and the pandemic) affected
people's interest in nursing as a career? We want to explore
whether the pandemic might have generated some new interest in
the nursing profession, as people have been so inspired by the
work that nursing has done. If so, what does that mean?

The second topic: could the pandemic result in layoffs for
nurses--and what implications could that have? Some healthcare
organizations had to announce layoffs (or furloughs) of nursing
staff (among others) because so many hospitals loss so much
money, as the pandemic raged on. What does this sort of action
mean for both nurses themselves and also for patients and
communities that they serve?

Requirements:

Please contact me if you or someone in your organization could
comment on either of these two topics. The readers will
primarily be nurses, so we want to keep them updated on what's
happening on the job front. You can reach me through HARO or via
email at larson_jennifer@yahoo.com.

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b3nr@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Business.com

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

The months long pandemic has caused some serious problems for
small business owners, but a new crisis is likely to hurt the
ability for companies to take money from customers. All over the
place, businesses are asking that people pay in exact change for
any purchases made with cash due to a lack of change. This kind
of stipulation for payment can cause normal people to walk out
to find another location that can accept their paper currency.
This story aims to take a look at the shortage and what it means
for small businesses.

I'm looking to learn from experts answers to the following
questions:

- Is this type of shortage, spurred on by the months-long
closure of U.S. mints during the COVID pandemic, is a long-term
problem?

- What kind of impact does a coin shortage have on small
buisnesses?

- How can small businesses find ways to alleviate the situation?
Can customers be part of the solution? (e.g. Wawa offering
discounts/freebies in exchange for a roll of coins)

Any small business owner or economist/financial expert willing
to weigh in would be appreciated.

Positivity' on social media. Specifically, the negative impacts

social media users it may be more challenging to spot when their
peers are putting on a facade. The piece I'm producing will
identify this problem and explain the impact that this has on
our psychology. I'm interested to know how 'Toxic Positivity'
may be affecting Gen-Z and Millennial social media users and why
this is such a prominent issue today.

This piece will be in the form of a short-form video that is
about 3 mins max.

proposal that would involve a purchase of the TikTok service in
the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and would
result in Microsoft owning and operating TikTok in these
markets. Microsoft may invite other American investors to
participate on a minority basis in this purchase.

This new structure would build on the experience TikTok users
currently love, while adding world-class security, privacy, and
digital safety protections. The operating model for the service
would be built to ensure transparency to users as well as
appropriate security oversight by governments in these countries.

38) Summary: Should Europe be worried about data sovereignty with US dominance in the cloud storage space?

Name: David Roe CMSWire

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 August

Query:

Europe is sitting on a wealth of data that is the 21st century
equivalent of a precious metal mine during the gold rush. But
instead of exploiting it themselves Europeans may be allowing
American tech giants to gain control of all the excavation
equipment, some experts say, pointing to a flurry of European
companies announcing deals with US tech players for cloud
services.

This trend has sparked concern particularly in Germany, which
has a rich trove of data thanks to its powerful industrial
sector. The EU is "losing its influence in the digital sphere
at the moment it is taking a central role in the continent's
economy" warned a recent report by a group of experts and media
leaders under the leadership of the former head of German
software firm SAP, Henning Kagermann. "The majority of
European data is stocked outside of Europe, or, if stocked in
Europe, is on servers that belong to non-European firms," it
noted. (from AFP news service)

Query:

I'm working on an article about Biden's VP pick and I'm looking
to speak with WoC who are voting for him to hear how you feel
about his decision once he announces his running mate. The
article will also include expert analysis from women who work in
politics, but I want to include reactions from voters as well,
whether you're disappointed, excited, don't have a strong
opinion, etc.

It's not clear at this point when he'll make the announcement,
so I'd love to connect with some women this week to see if
you're open to sending me a quick reaction when we finally learn
who his running mate is (sounds like it could be anywhere
between 8/10 and 8/15).

Requirements:

Women of color who are voting for Biden and are willing to
provide a quote or two once he announces his running mate. You
can be ID'ed by first name only (or a pseudonym if you feel more
comfortable) or by your full name. I understand that not
everyone will necessarily be available when the announcement
comes, but respond anyway if you're interested! I'm looking to
connect with a number of women because I would imagine not
everyone will be available to comment right away. I don't expect
anyone to make a firm commitment to drop everything they're
doing and get in touch once the name of the VP candidate is
announced.

once the running mate is officially announced. At this point,
I'm looking to address questions like this:

-- What are his blind spots? Who's best-suited to address them?
-- Who does he need to appeal to? -- What kind of personality
gels best with his leadership style? -- What do you think of
critics who say that some of the frontrunners might be trying to
campaign for the presidency themselves while in office? -- Do
you have a top pick and, if so, why?

Requirements:

Political strategists and experts, preferably women and
nonbinary -- this can be anyone who has worked on a campaign,
academics who study electoral trends, political commentators.

72) Summary: How To Know If You're Overinsured For Your Next Trip

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b3o7@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 6 August

Query:

I'm working on a story about travel insurance. For a post-COVID
trip, many travelers are erring on the side of caution and
buying more insurance than they could possibly use. I'd love to
hear from anyone who has done that. How much insurance did you
buy, and why? Do you feel better knowing that you have
insurance? From insurance experts, I'd be interested in your
best tips on this subject. How do you know if you have enough
insurance? What are the signs that you have too much insurance?
And if you do have too much insurance, what should you do?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. If a phone interview is necessary, I
will follow up right away. Kindly also include your full name
and a jargon-free, brief (two to three word) description of your
company or affiliation as you would like it to appear in the
article. I will do my absolute best to acknowledge that I
received your pitch and will make every effort to let you know
when the story appears. More information on my queries can be
found on my site:

73) Summary: Looking For Travel Insurance? Here's What Your Credit Card Covers -- And Doesn't Cover

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 6 August

Query:

I'm researching a story about what credit cards cover -- and
don't cover -- for travelers. I'm interested in hearing from
anyone who ran into a problem on a trip (delay, lost luggage)
and discovered that the card would help. I'm also interested in
what isn't covered by your card. I would love to hear from
travel insurance experts on this topic. What do cards typically
not cover? What's your best advice for travelers who are trying
to decide between a credit card and travel insurance?
