Peer Review of “COVID-19 National Football League (NFL) Injury Analysis: Follow-Up Study”

Peer Review of “COVID-19 National Football League (NFL) Injury Analysis: Follow-Up Study”

The authors stated that “This is the first large scale opportunity to demonstrate the effects of these principles and how they are important to understanding injury epidemiology.” However, there are studies that have looked at the effect of COVID-19 on other sporting leagues, for example, Bundesliga, Major League Soccer (MLS), etc. All this has been published and should be cited. Can the authors please confirm or comment on the potential accuracy of this open data?

Peer Review “The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages (Variants) and COVID-19 Vaccination on the COVID-19 Epidemic in South Africa: Regression Study”

Peer Review “The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages (Variants) and COVID-19 Vaccination on the COVID-19 Epidemic in South Africa: Regression Study”

Overall, this paper notes that the nonpharmaceutical interventions such as movement restrictions through lockdown measures and the evolution of the COVID-19 virus had significant impacts on the disease burden and epidemiology of disease observed in South Africa through the 3 waves that have occurred. This manuscript is well written, comprehensive, and filled with detail. This is both a strength and a possible weakness.

Peer Review of “The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages (Variants) and COVID-19 Vaccination on the COVID-19 Epidemic in South Africa: Regression Study”

Peer Review of “The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages (Variants) and COVID-19 Vaccination on the COVID-19 Epidemic in South Africa: Regression Study”

This paper [1] discusses the impact of the SARS-Co V-2 lineage in the South African COVID-19 epidemiology because it is important to investigate the evolution of distinct SARS-Co V-2 lineage that dominates among three epidemic waves in South Africa. The authors begin by recalling the background of the COVID-19 global pandemic and introducing the SARS-Co V-2 lineage and its variants. In section 2, their methodology is introduced. The data were obtained from public sources.

COVID-19 National Football League (NFL) Injury Analysis: Follow-Up Study

COVID-19 National Football League (NFL) Injury Analysis: Follow-Up Study

A previous study, titled COVID-19 Return to Sport: NFL Injury Prevalence Analysis, examined the effects of this shutdown on injury epidemiology [2]. This study showed that there was increased injury prevalence during the 2020 NFL season, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic [2]. The study concluded that the increased injury prevalence was due to a decline in athlete training as a result of the shutdowns [2].
