Die COVID-19-Pandemie beeinträchtigt den Tourismus weltweit, jedoch zeigen beliebte Urlaubsregionen bei Betrachtung der realen Buchungen für das Jahr 2020 sehr heterogene Abweichungsmuster im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. In diesem Zusammenhang ist unklar, ob und welche Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie das heterogene Buchungsverhalten erklären. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden tourismusrelevante Maßnahmen identifiziert und anhand von Flugpauschalreisebuchungen im deutschen Quellmarkt für Reisen zwischen Mai und Oktober 2020 untersucht. Die Analyse eines umfassenden Primärdatensatzes mittels Fixed-Effects-Modellierung zeigt, dass verschiedene, vom Quellland sowie vom Zielland ausgehende Maßnahmen das Buchungsverhalten in unterschiedlicher Effektstärke signifikant beeinflussen. Darunter fallen insbesondere Reisewarnungen und Quarantäneverordnungen für Rückkehrer. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global tourism industry. However, when comparing the bookings made for different popular destinations in 2020 and 2019, the differences are very heterogeneous. Given this context, it is unclear whether and which COVID-19 countermeasures taken explain the heterogeneous booking behavior. In this paper, tourism-related measures are identified and analyzed with regard to flight package tour bookings from Germany, travel dates being between May and October 2020. The analysis of a comprehensive primary data set by using Fixed Effects Model methodology shows that several measures in both source and destination countries have had a significant influence on booking behavior. These include, amongst others, governmental travel warnings and quarantine regulations on return. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the contemporary situation of many analysts in the world now being forced to work online due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to review the working online issue. Substantial debate over previous years has questioned whether a genuine analytic process can unfold through online work. This debate is reviewed with the conclusion that such a process is not necessarily precluded. Research outcomes are then reviewed to highlight those things that can facilitate positive outcomes when working online. These cover the 'online disinhibition effect', the therapeutic alliance, particular ways of using the screen, focussing on trauma, the importance of self-awareness, knowing the predictors of mental health, certain potential positives of isolation/quarantine and psychotherapy interventions that may be currently needed. Final recommendations and suggestions are then presented as in the diagnosis issue, professional development and guidelines to do with practical and ethical considerations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Headaches are a common symptom of COVID-19 infections. Patients generally describe them as bilateral, predominantly frontal, squeezing and of moderate or severe intensity. Searching for "Red Flags" often allows distinction from primary headaches – usually fever, cough, and elevated inflammatory markers accompany COVID-19-associated headaches. Prospective studies did not confirm caveats against the use of ibuprofen as symptomatic treatment. While carrying facial masks often caused headaches, probably by compressing sensory nerves, many patients' migraine frequencies dropped during lockdown. Treatment of patients with primary headaches was complicated by quarantine and many centres offered online consultations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
