Question: Should children be wearing face coverings?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: COVID-19 and Children
Should children wear masks?
section_content: CDC recommends that everyone 2 years and older wear a cloth face covering that
covers their nose and mouth when they are out in the community. Cloth face
coverings should NOT be put on babies or children younger than 2 because of
the danger of suffocation. Children younger than 2 years of age are listed as
an exception as well as anyone who has trouble breathing or is unconscious,
incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the face covering without
assistance.
Wearing cloth face coverings is a public health measure people should take to
reduce the spread of COVID-19 in addition to (not instead of) social
distancing, frequent hand cleaning ,and other everyday preventive actions. A
cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer but may prevent the
spread of virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important
if someone is infected but does not have symptoms. Medical face masks and N95
respirators are still reserved for healthcare personnel and other first
responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is fantastic. It is very direct about the fact that masks are necessary for everyone who can wear them. It talks about people who are exempt, and talks about why this is important. It is a very useful response.
This answers the question and give additional information about whey it would be helpful or not.
This answers the question directly. This answer contains information on age group of children who should and should not be wearing cloth face covering during covid-19 and other preventative measures to reduce the spread of covid-19.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: What to Know About Liver Disease and COVID-19
section_headers: What can people with hepatitis B or hepatitis C do to protect themselves from COVID-19?
section_content: The best way to protect yourself from getting COVID-19 is to avoid exposure to
the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People with liver disease should take the same
preventive actions being taken by people with other underlying conditions to avoid
getting sick with or spreading COVID-19.
People with hepatitis B or hepatitis
C should also continue to maintain a healthy
lifestyle. If you have hepatitis B or hepatitis C and are being treated for
your infection, it is important to continue your treatment and follow the
advice of your healthcare provider. This is the best way to keep your immune
system healthy.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
There really isn't any mention of drug users here.  This answer is focuses on people with hepatitus.
Other than just mentioning avoiding exposure in general, nothing is mentioned concerning preventing the virus for drug users. It talks more about people with hepatitis.

Question: How should healthcare providers address concerns of patients with underlying medical conditions about  the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: COVID-19 Risk
If my patient has an underlying medical condition, what is my patient’s risk of acquiring or having severe illness from COVID-19, and what should I tell my patient?
section_content: 
There is insufficient information on COVID-19 to determine the level of risk for each underlying medical condition. CDC is analyzing data continuously and provides updates as soon as new information is available.
You know your patient’s overall health and how well their conditions are managed. Use your clinical judgement to evaluate on a case by case basis. Patients frequently in congregate settings are at increased risk of infection. Patients with underlying medical conditions may be at increased risk of severe disease.
If possible, work with patients to manage their underlying condition to the best of their ability, including ensuring that patients have sufficient medication and supplies. Prescribing three-month supplies of medications may help ensure access to sufficient medications.
Explain to all patients which symptoms of their chronic conditions require emergency care or in-person visits. Stress the importance of obtaining emergency care if needed.
Reassure your patients who require emergency care that emergency departments have infection prevention plans to protect them from acquiring COVID-19
Tell patients with underlying medical conditions that increase their risk of severe illness or poorer outcomes from COVID-19: 
To stay home as much as possible to reduce their risk of being exposed.
Closely follow their care plans for management of their chronic disease, including, for example, achieving better glycemic or blood pressure control.
Seek emergency care for acute exacerbations of their underlying medical conditions or any health condition that requires immediate attention.


Encourage all patients, regardless of risk, to: 
Take steps to protect yourself.
Call your healthcare provider if you are sick with a fever, cough, or shortness of breath.


Follow CDC travel guidelines and the recommendations of your state and local health officials. Fear and anxiety about a disease can feel overwhelming, especially for those who might be at higher risk or are experiencing social isolation, and for healthcare providers that are treating patients at higher risk. Do what you can to take care of your mental health and encourage your patients to do the same.

Question: Is it safe to go on a cruise right now?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Coronavirus in the United StatesâConsiderations for Travelers
section_headers: Frequently Asked Questions
section_content: Is it safe to travel to visit family or friends?
Travel increases your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19. Before you
travel, learn if coronavirus is spreading in your local area or in any of the
places you are going. Traveling to visit family may be especially dangerous if
you or your loved ones are more likely to get very ill from
COVID-19. People at higher risk for severe illness need to take extra
precautions.
Is it safe to travel to campgrounds/go camping?
Going camping at a time when much of the United States is experiencing
community spread of COVID-19 can pose a risk to you if you come in close
contact with others or share public facilities (like restrooms or picnic
areas) at campsites or along the trails. Exposure may be especially unsafe if
you are more likely to get very ill from
COVID-19 and are planning to be in remote areas, without easy access to
medical care. Also be aware that many local, state, and national public parks
have been temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

Question: What workplace strategies are available to protect those at risk for the more serious complications of COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: General Business Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Reducing the Spread of COVID-19 in Workplaces
How can I help protect employees who may be at higher risk for severe illness?
section_content: Have conversations with employees if they express concerns. Some people may be
at higher risk of severe illness. This includes older
adults (65
years and older) and people of any age with serious underlying medical
conditions. By using strategies that help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in
the workplace, you will help protect all employees, including those at higher
risk. These strategies include:

Implementing telework and other social distancing practices
Actively encouraging employees to stay home when sick
Promoting handwashing
Providing supplies and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for cleaning and disinfecting workspaces

In workplaces where it’s not possible to eliminate face-to-face contact (such
as retail), consider assigning higher risk employees work tasks that allow
them to maintain a 6-foot distance from others, if feasible.
Employers should not require employees to provide a note from their healthcare
provider when they are sick and instead allow them to inform their supervisors
or employee health services when they have conditions that put them at higher
risk for diseases.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer not only outline guidance but it gives a step list of what to look out for.

Question: Does hypertension place someone at higher risk from COVID19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: COVID-19 and Hypertension
Are people with high blood pressure (hypertension) at higher risk from COVID-19?
section_content: At this time, we do not think that people with high blood pressure and no
other underlying health conditions are more likely than others to get severely
ill from COVID-19. Although many people who have gotten severely ill from
COVID-19 have high blood pressure, they are often older or have other medical
conditions like obesity, diabetes, and serious heart conditions that place
them at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
If you have high blood pressure, it’s critically important that you keep your
blood pressure under control to lower your risk for heart disease and strokes.
Take your blood pressure medications as directed, keep a log of your blood
pressure every day if you are able to take your blood pressure at home, and
work with your healthcare team to make sure your blood pressure is well
controlled. Any changes to your medications should be made in consultation
with your healthcare team.

Question: How should N95 respirator distribution be prioritized in obstetric setting during a shortage?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Obstetrical Care
How should the use of N95 respirators be prioritized within obstetric healthcare settings during shortages?
section_content: During respirator shortages, care should be taken to ensure that N95
respirators are reserved for situations where respiratory protection is most
important, such as performance of aerosol-generating procedures on patients
with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection. In such shortage situations,
facemasks might be used for other types of patient care.
Alternatives to N95 respirators might be considered where feasible. These
include other classes of NIOSH-approved filtering facepiece respirators, half
facepiece or full facepiece elastomeric respirators, and powered air-purifying
respirators (PAPRs) where feasible. All of these alternatives will provide
equivalent or higher protection than N95 respirators when properly worn.
However, PAPRs and elastomeric respirators should not be used in surgical
settings due to concerns that exhaled air may contaminate the sterile field.
For more information please see: Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of N95
Respirators: Conventional Capacity
Strategies.
When respirator supplies are restored, the facility can switch back to use of
N95 respirators for all care of patients with known or suspected COVID-19
infection. For more information, please see Interim Infection Prevention and
Control Recommendations for Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Healthcare

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: FAQs for Correctional and Detention Facilities
section_headers: Administrators at Correctional and Detention Facilities
How to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within my facility or from the local community into my facility
What should be included in my screening procedures for new entrants to the facility?
section_content: New entrants should undergo temperature screening in addition to the following
verbal screening questions:

“Today or in the past 24 hours, have you had any of the following symptoms? Fever, felt feverish, or had chills? Cough? Difficulty breathing?” 
If yes, give them a clean, disposable facemaskpdf icon, separate them from others, and notify medical staff. Ensure only trained personnel wearing recommended PPE have contact with individuals who have or may have COVID-19.
Facilities without on-site healthcare staff should contact their state, local, tribal, and/or territorial health department to coordinate effective medical isolation and necessary medical care.


“In the past 14 days, have you had contact with a person known to be infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)?” 
If yes (but no COVID-19 symptoms): Quarantine the individual and monitor for symptoms two times per day for 14 days. During quarantine, facility staff should follow guidance on quarantine, and monitor the person for symptoms two times per day for 14 days.
Facilities without on-site health care staff should contact their state, local, tribal, and/or territorial health department to coordinate effective medical isolation and necessary medical care.




Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is more about the infections and what to do incase.
This answer does not relate to the general public and does not give information on what they should do.
This answer is more about screening.  The question is about prevention.

Question: What are steps that I can do to prepare myself for coronavirus in my work environment?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Preparing Your Home and Family for COVID-19
How can I prepare for COVID-19 at work?
section_content: Plan for potential changes at your workplace. Talk to your employer about
their emergency operations plan, including sick-leave policies and telework
options. Learn how businesses and employers can plan for and respond to
COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
All this answer talks about about changes nothing more.
This just says "plan for changes in your workplace" and offers a link to where you can go and read about your question, but does not actually answer it very well.
This can be improved, this is only limited to work place

Question: Do asthma patients need to do anything special?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Patients with Asthma
Are any changes recommended to the asthma treatment plan if my patient with asthma has COVID-19?
section_content: Patients can be referred to CDC’s recommendations for caring for themselves
or someone else at home sick with COVID-19.
If nebulizer use at home is necessary for patients with asthma who have
symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19, use of the nebulizer in a location that
minimizes and preferably avoids exposure to any other members of the
household, and preferably a location where air is not recirculated into the
home (like a porch, patio, or garage) is recommended by national professional
organizations, including the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
(ACAAI) by the ACAAI and the Allergy & Asthma Network (AAN). Limiting the
number of people in the room or location where the nebulizer is used is also
recommended by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Nebulizers
should be used and cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If nebulizer use in a healthcare setting is necessary for patients who have
either symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19, use CDC’s recommended precautions
when performing aerosol-generating procedures
(AGPs).

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer if more about using a nebulizer
This answer, while related to asthma and COVID-19, does not relate specifically to what those with asthma should do if anything.
This information only contains recommendation for asthma patients on how to safely use nebulizer at home when they have symptoms or diagnosis of Covid-19. However, it does not provide any further recommendations or instructions on what patients with asthma should do during this covid-19 period.

Question: What should I do if people in my household have coronavirus symptoms?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Children and Youth with Special Healthcare Needs
What if my child or someone else in the home is sick with symptoms of COVID-19?
section_content: If your child with special healthcare needs becomes sick with symptoms of
COVID-19, contact your
child’s healthcare provider. If your child has new or worsening emergency
warning signs,
such as trouble breathing, pain or pressure in the chest, confusion or
inability to wake them up, or bluish lips or face, call 911. If you think your
child may have COVID-19, notify the operator so that first responders may be
appropriately prepared to protect themselves and others.
Notify your child’s healthcare provider if someone else in your house becomes
sick with COVID-19, so they can provide any advice specific for your child.
See additional information if someone in the home is sick with
COVID-19 or
suspected of having COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
They mention only special needs children, as opposed to a general answer about it, as the question asks. And even in terms of the special needs children, there are not a lot of details given.
This answer asked to notify child's healthcare provider if you notice any covid 19 symptoms in him
This answer relates to if a child has COVID-19, not if the person you are living with has COVID-19 symptoms like the question originally asks.

Question: What should I do if my police dog is exposed to a person with COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: FAQs for Law Enforcement Agencies and Personnel
section_headers: If law enforcement takes a person into custody who exhibits symptoms of COVID-19, where should they take the person for intake processing (such as jail, hospital, or some other facility)?
section_content: All persons taken into custody should be given a facemask or cloth face
covering to wear as part of universal source
control. A
facemask or cloth face covering may help protect others nearby if these people
are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.
If a person taken into custody exhibits signs and
symptoms of COVID-19
(cough, fever, or shortness of breath), the person should be assessed for
transport to a healthcare facility for further evaluation and management.
Medical evaluation during intake processing may be necessary, especially if
COVID-19 is suspected. If, at any point, it is determined that the person
taken into custody needs medical care, transportation should be coordinated
with EMS providers and the receiving healthcare facility.
If a person taken into custody does not show any symptoms of COVID-19, he or
she should still be isolated as much as feasible during intake processing.
CDC has additional guidance for correctional and detention
facilities that may be useful.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This is talking about how persons taken into custody should be evaluated for the virus.
This answer does not address what one should do if a police dog is exposed to someone with COVID-19, making the answer unhelpful.
This answer does not discuss dogs

Question: What is the definition of an acute respiratory illness?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People with Disabilities
section_headers: About COVID-19
section_content: 
Coronavirus disease is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is also possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. For more information go to CDC’s Fact Sheet- What you need to know about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Risk of infection with COVID-19 is higher for people who are in close contact with someone known to have COVID-19, such as healthcare workers, direct support providers, and household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This only discussed about what corona virus means not acute respiratory illness
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for definition of acute respiratory illness and this answer contains information on coronavirus disease.
This is off topic, this answer is more about the spreading and risk of infections

Question: In order to prevent COVID-19, should I use soap and water or hand sanitizer?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Travel: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
section_headers: General
If I travel, what steps should I take to help reduce my chances of getting sick?
section_content: 
Avoid contact with sick people.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
It is especially important to clean hands after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.


Make sure you are up to date with your routine vaccinations, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Off task, this answer is more about how to stay safe
It states as part of the answers that both can be used, either hand sanitizer or soap and water
This candidate answer does not address the question that was asked, at all.  It just gives general precautions for avoiding COVID 19
