Question: What is an N95 FFR?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Personal Protective Equipment: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Respirators
What is a Surgical N95 respirator and who needs to wear it?
section_content: 
A surgical N95 (also referred as a medical respirator) is recommended only for use by healthcare personnel (HCP) who need protection from both airborne and fluid hazards (e.g., splashes, sprays). These respirators are not used or needed outside of healthcare settings. In times of shortage, only HCP who are working in a sterile field or who may be exposed to high velocity splashes, sprays, or splatters of blood or body fluids should wear these respirators, such as in operative or procedural settings. Most HCP caring for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients should not need to use surgical N95 respirators and can use standard N95 respirators.
If a surgical N95 is not available for use in operative or procedural settings, then an unvalved N95 respirator may be used with a faceshield to help block high velocity streams of blood and body fluids.

Question: Is there a risk of getting the coronavirus on a flight?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Travel: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
section_headers: Air or Cruise Travel
What is the risk of getting COVID-19 on an airplane?
section_content: Because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes, most viruses and
other germs do not spread easily. Although the risk of infection on an
airplane is low, try to avoid contact with sick passengers, avoid touching
your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, and wash your hands often with
soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer that contains at
least 60% alcohol.

Question: What kind of gloves should be used?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Personal Protective Equipment: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Gloves
How do I put on (don) or take off (doff) my gloves?
section_content: 
Check to see if your facility has guidance on how to don and doff PPE. The procedure to don and doff should be tailored to the specific type of PPE that you have available at your facility.
If your facility does not have specific guidance, the CDC has recommended sequences for donning and doffing of PPEpdf icon.
It is important for HCP to perform hand hygiene after removing PPE. Hand hygiene should be performed by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60-95% alcohol or washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If hands are visibly soiled, soap and water should be used before returning to alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Question: What procedure would be considered an AGP?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control FAQs for COVID-19
section_headers: Which procedures are considered aerosol generating procedures in healthcare settings?
section_content: Some procedures performed on patients are more likely to generate higher
concentrations of infectious respiratory aerosols than coughing, sneezing,
talking, or breathing. These aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) potentially
put healthcare personnel and others at an increased risk for pathogen exposure
and infection.
Development of a comprehensive list of AGPs for healthcare settings has not
been possible, due to limitations in available data on which procedures may
generate potentially infectious aerosols and the challenges in determining if
reported transmissions during AGPs are due to aerosols or other exposures.
There is neither expert consensus, nor sufficient supporting data, to create a
definitive and comprehensive list of AGPs for healthcare settings.
Commonly performed medical procedures that are often considered AGPs, or that
create uncontrolled respiratory secretions, include:

open suctioning of airways
sputum induction
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
endotracheal intubation and extubation
non-invasive ventilation (e.g., BiPAP, CPAP)
bronchoscopy
manual ventilation

Based on limited available data, it is uncertain whether aerosols generated
from some procedures may be infectious, such as:

nebulizer administration*
high flow O2 delivery

*Aerosols generated by nebulizers are derived from medication in the nebulizer. It is uncertain whether potential associations between performing this common procedure and increased risk of infection might be due to aerosols generated by the procedure or due to increased contact between those administering the nebulized medication and infected patients.
References related to aerosol generating procedures:

Question: What is CDC using the antibody tests for?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Symptoms & Testing
What is antibody testing? And can I be tested using this method?
section_content: Antibody testing checks a sample of a person’s blood to look for antibodies to
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These antibodies are produced when
someone has been infected, so a positive result from this test indicates that
person was previously infected with the virus.
CDC is working with other federal agencies to evaluate the performance of
commercially manufactured antibody tests that are becoming increasingly
available from healthcare providers. This evaluation is expected to be
completed in early May.
We do not know yet if the antibodies that result from infection with SARS-
CoV-2 can protect someone from reinfection with this virus (immunity) or how
long antibodies to the virus will protect someone. Scientists are conducting
research to answer those questions.
Antibody tests may not be able to tell you if you are currently infected
because it typically takes 1 to 3 weeks to develop antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.
To tell if you are currently infected, you would need a test that identifies
the virus in samples from your upper respiratory system, such as a
nasopharyngeal swab.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

section_content: 
Clinicians can access laboratory tests for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, through clinical laboratories performing tests authorized or intended to be authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Clinicians should consult with the laboratories that routinely perform their diagnostic services to see how best to access SARS-CoV-2 testing.
Clinicians also can access viral testing through their state public health departments. The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)external icon provides a list of available public health laboratory testing locations.

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

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Basics
COVID-19 and Hypertension
section_content: Are people with high blood pressure (hypertension) at higher risk from
COVID-19?
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.
Should I continue to take my blood pressure medication?
Yes. Continue to take your blood pressure medications exactly as prescribed
and make lifestyle modifications agreed upon in your treatment plan. Continue
all your regular medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors (ACE-Is) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), as prescribed by
your healthcare team. This is recommended by current clinical
guidelines from the American Heart Association, the Heart
Failure Society of America, and the American College of Cardiology

section_content: The International Reagent Resourceexternal
icon (IRR) was established by
CDC more than 10 years ago. It provides registered users with reagents, tools,
and information for studying and detecting influenza virus and other
pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. IRR is primarily a resource used for
procuring pathogen test components and assembling, qualifying, and
distributing these kits for use in CDC-directed public health activities. This
resource supports detection and characterization of pathogens, which will aid
in informing interventions. By centralizing these functions within IRR, access
to and use of these materials in the scientific and public health community is
monitored and quality control of the reagents is assured.
To support health departments during the COVID-19 pandemic, IRR has expanded
to provide more products needed for viral testing, including numerous
commercially produced Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) assays. IRR is managed
under a CDC contract by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).

Question: Is it recommended to use a facemask to prevent COVID19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):

Does CDC recommend the use of facemask or face coverings to prevent COVID-19?
section_content: In light of data about how COVID-19 spreads, along with evidence of widespread
COVID-19 illness in communities across the country, CDC recommends that people
wear a cloth face
covering to cover their nose and mouth in the community
setting. This is an additional 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
in the event that someone is infected but does not have symptoms. A cloth face
covering should be worn whenever people must go into public settings (grocery
stores, for example). Medical masks and N-95 respirators are reserved for
healthcare workers and other first responders, as recommended by current CDC
guidance.

Question: What kind of plans do schools have in case they have to close?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: K-12 Schools and Child Care Programs
section_headers: Dismissals
If I make the decision for a school dismissal, what else should I consider?
section_content: In the event of a school dismissal, extracurricular group activities and large
events, such as performances, field trips, and sporting events should also be
cancelled. This may require close coordination with other partners and
organizations (e.g., high school athletics associations, music associations).
In addition, discourage students and staff from gathering or socializing
anywhere, like at a friend’s house, a favorite restaurant, or the local
shopping mall.
Ensure continuity of meal programs for your students. Consider ways to
distribute food to students who receive free or reduced cost meals. Check with
the US Department of Agriculture – Food and Nutrition Service for additional
information:
https://www.fns.usda.gov/disaster/USDAfoodsPandemicSchools.external
icon If there is
community spread of COVID-19, design strategies to avoid distribution in
settings where people might gather in a group or crowd. Consider options such
as “grab-and-go” bagged lunches or meal delivery.
Consider alternatives for providing essential medical and social services for
students. Continue providing necessary services for children with special
healthcare needs, or work with the state Title V Children and Youth with
Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) Program.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer does deal with schools, but I'm not sure that it answers the question here.  The question is more on the plans schools have when they are closing and it doesn't seem that the focus of this answer is that.

This does not answer the question. This answer is about what to consider when implementing e-learning plans during covid-19. It does not provide any information on when school or childcare center should consider to dismiss students during covid-19 as asked in the question.
This answer does not address when school or childcare centers should consider dismissal, thus making it an invalid answer to the original question.
This is a good answer is discuss the implications of virtual school

Question: What health conditions can have a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: COVID-19 Risk
Who is at risk for severe disease from COVID-19?
section_content: The available data are currently insufficient to clearly identify risk factors
for severe clinical outcomes. Based on limited data that are available for
COVID-19 patients, and data from related coronaviruses such as severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and MERS-CoV, people who may be at
risk for more severe outcomes include older adults and persons who have
certain underlying chronic medical
conditions. Those
underlying chronic conditions include chronic lung disease, moderate to severe
asthma, cardiac disease with complications, diabetes, or immunocompromising
conditions. See also Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients
with Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) and Information for Healthcare Professionals: COVID-19 and
Underlying Conditions.

Question: If I adopt an animal from a shelter, can they pass COVID-19 onto me?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: If You Have Pets
section_headers: Protect pets if you are sick
section_content: If you are sick with COVID-19 (either suspected or confirmed by a test), you
should restrict contact with your pets and other animals, just like you would
with people. Until we know more about this virus, people sick with COVID-19
should avoid contact with pets and other animals.

When possible, have another member of your household care for your pets while you are sick.
Avoid contact with your pet including, petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food or bedding.
If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wear a cloth face covering and wash your hands before and after you interact with them.

If you are sick with COVID-19 and your pet becomes sick, do not take your
pet to the veterinary clinic yourself. Call your veterinarian and let them
know you have been sick with COVID-19. Some veterinarians may offer
telemedicine consultations or other plans for seeing sick pets. Your
veterinarian can evaluate your pet and determine the next steps for your pet’s
treatment and care.
For more information visit: What to Do if You are
Sick.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer does not address whether pets can spread it to humans, and whether pets from the shelter should be cautioned.
This answers the question and give multiple guidance points
This doesn't seem like it really addresses the question. It talks about caring for a pet if you, yourself, are sick...but it doesn't talk at all about transmission possibilities from animal to human. It needs to at least answer the question of safety regarding adoption.

Question: How should expired respirators be handled?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Personal Protective Equipment: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Respirators
How do I know if my respirator is expired?
section_content: NIOSH does not require approved N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) be
marked with an expiration date. If an FFR does not have an assigned expiration
date, you should refer to the user instructions or seek guidance from the
specific manufacturer on whether time and storage conditions (such as
temperature or humidity) are expected to have an effect on the respirator’s
performance and if the respirators are nearing the end of their shelf life.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Off topic and does not discuss how to handle them
It doesn't talk about handling expired respirators but rather the life time of respirators
This answer does not relate to how one should handle expired respirators and thus does not answer the question.

Question: If someone died of COVID-19, am I at risk of contracting it if I go to their funeral?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions: Funeral and Burial Services for American Indians and Alaska Natives
section_headers: COVID-19 and Funerals
Am I at risk if I touch someone who died of COVID-19 after they have passed away?
section_content: You should avoid touching the body of someone who has died of COVID-19, before
the body is prepared for viewing.
Though we are still learning more about how COVID-19 spreads, it may be
possible that you could get COVID-19 by touching the body of someone who has
died of COVID-19. After the body has been prepared for viewing there may
be less of a chance of the virus spreading from certain types of touching,
such as holding the hand or hugging. But you should avoid other activities,
such as kissing, washing, and shrouding before and during body preparation.
After any contact with the body, be sure to wash your hands with soap and
water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available,
use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer suggest that one should not touch a body and discuss how not touching the boy can help with not catching the virus
This answer does not justify if you can contact it or not. it only gave guidelines it can still be improved.
There is a good amount of information here.  The answer talks about the risk that someone who died of covid poses to other people.

Question: What is the government doing to keep cruise lines from operating during the pandemic?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Cruise Ship Crew Member Disembarkations
section_headers: Frequently Asked Questions
What is CDC’s legal authority for preventing crew who are U.S. citizens from disembarking cruise ships?
section_content: CDC is using its legal authority under the No Sail Order and 42 CFR 71.31(b),
71.32(b) to stipulate specific conditions for the safe disembarkation of crew
in a manner that will not endanger the public’s health. Having cruise lines
sign a legal attestation is one method of ensuring that these conditions have
been or will be met. CDC is not detaining crew who are U.S. citizens or
preventing them from entering the United States. We are hopeful that more
cruise lines will take the necessary steps to ensure that their crew members
get home safely in a way that will not risk the health and safety of our
communities.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on what the government is doing to keep cruise lines from operating during pandemic. However, the answer provides information on disembarkation of ship crew and cruise line signing legal attestation.
This is a very specific exact answer to the question of how the CDC is preventing ships from sailing.
This answer talks about how the No Sail Order is being used but does not provide specifics

Question: Are homeless people more likely to get the virus?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Homelessness and COVID-19 FAQs
section_headers: Are people experiencing homelessness at risk of COVID-19?
section_content: People who are homeless are at risk of COVID-19. Homeless services are often
provided in congregate settings, which could facilitate the spread of
infection. Because many people who are homeless are older adults or have
underlying medical conditions, they may also be at higher risk for severe disease than
the general population. Health departments and healthcare facilities should be
aware that people who are homeless are a particularly vulnerable group. If
possible, identifying non-congregate settings where those at highest risk can
stay may help protect them from COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This statement directly answers the question that is asked.  Then it goes on to explain why the population is more likely to get the virus.
This answers discuss how homeless people are at a higher risk but need more information
This answers the question directly. This answer provides information on the risk of COVID-19 among homeless people and the factors that contribute to the risk.

Question: What kind of training do people need to pack and ship specimens?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: What Airport Baggage and Cargo Handlers Need to Know about COVID-19
section_headers: As an airport baggage or cargo handler, how can I protect myself?
section_content: For baggage or cargo handlers, while the general risk remains low, potential
sources of exposure could include surfaces touched or handled by a person with
COVID-19 or by touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.

Limit close contact with others by maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet, when possible.
Practice routine cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces. These include baggage or cargo transport devices, vehicles, scanners, and shared/common two-way radios or other mobile devices. Follow the directions on the cleaning product’s label.
Follow your employer’s normal guidance for handling animals in transit and biological cargo.
Proper hand hygiene is an important infection control measure. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
Key times to clean hands in general include: 
Before, during, and after preparing food
Before eating food
After using the toilet
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing


Additional times to clean hands on the job include: 
Before and after work shifts
Before and after work breaks
After handling, loading, and unloading baggage, packages, or cargo
After touching frequently touched surfaces
After putting on, touching, or removing cloth face coverings


Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is for cargo and baggage handlers as opposed to people who are specifically shipping COVID-19 specimens, so it is no good.
Just answer talks about how to maintain social distancing and remain safe while transporting
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer contains information on potential sources of exposure for baggage and cargo handlers and when to clean hands during work. It does not provide any information on what training is required for people who pack and ship specimens as asked in the question.
