COVID-19 remains pandemic at the time of writing (September 2020) and it has opened up many avenues of research, on itself and on other aspects of medicine and science. This collection of Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) and the one following will review various aspects of COVID-19. Two papers review schools: reported clusters to date globally and the specific preparations made by one specific Maltese school to try to avoid/dampen any outbreaks in the school. Some economic aspects are also reviewed including the effects of the second wave on tourism revenues in Malta and a clarification of how (carefully) raising lockdowns is crucial to revive devastated economies. Three papers deal with statistics; estimating delay to death from surges of cases, demonstrating the second wave globally and by continent, and finally estimating the risk of rare and severe hypothetical adverse events after a vaccine has undergone standard testing and compares this to estimated death rate/s from COVID-19. The results of an influenza and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy questionnaire in Malta\'s healthcare workers are also depicted. One general review reiterates that COVID-19 is ageist, sexist, ruthless, dispassionate and opportunistic, and that protecting our vulnerable while easing restrictions remains crucial. Another review recaps the increased importance of less influenza vaccine hesitancy and less presenteeism among health care workers next winter. We dedicate this BPG to the ill and to the fallen.
