    Through May 13, 2020, approximately 1.39 million cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported in the United States (by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and more than 4.3 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported from 188 countries.1 There is an urgent need for COVID-19 data, including community-level incidence, spectrum of disease, diagnostic test penetration, and proportion of the community with protective immunity to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (herd immunity). These data are vital to understanding where communities are on the continuum of COVID-19 cumulative incidence and prevalence and how nonpharmaceutical interventions can be titrated to reopen business and society. Real-time incidence and seroepidemiologic data are also essential to plan scenarios for the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. Cross-sectional community surveys combined with seroepidemiology can help inform the present and help navigate the path forward.

We established the COronavirus Pandemic Epidemiology (COPE) consortium to bring together scientists with expertise in big data research and epidemiology to develop a COVID-19 Symptom Tracker mobile application that we launched in the UK on March 24, 2020 and the US on March 29, 2020 garnering more than 2.8 million users as of May 2, 2020. This mobile application offers data on risk factors, herald symptoms, clinical outcomes, and geographical hot spots. This initiative offers critical proof-of-concept for the repurposing of existing approaches to enable rapidly scalable epidemiologic data collection and analysis which is critical for a data-driven response to this public health challenge.

    • Weight-Based Dosing of Pembrolizumab Every 6 Weeks in the Time of COVID-19 Daniel A. Goldstein, MD1,2; Mark J. Ratain, MD3; Leonard B. Saltz, MD4 Author Affiliations Article Information JAMA Oncol. Published online May 27, 2020. doi:10.1001/jamaoncol.2020.2493 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has shocked the world and caused a period of both economic and medical catastrophe. Two major challenges face the world of medical oncology. Oncologists need to reconsider all of their clinical practices to decrease the risk of exposure of their patients to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Oncologists also need to consider that the world has changed considerably in economic terms. Now, more than ever, we need to assess whether our recommended therapies will cause financial hardship, on both an individual and a societal level. In this article we propose a solution related to the dosing of pembrolizumab that will maintain therapeutic outcomes, decrease detrimental financial effects of treatment, and decrease exposure risk to SARS-CoV-2.
