There ’ s No Sign of Widespread COVID-19 Mandates. Republicans Are Warning of Them Anyway

Should I get a COVID-19 booster?

Want to Predict the Next Big COVID-19 Variant to Hit the U.S.? Look to Airports
With the summer travel season about to begin, public-health officials face a daunting challenge in keeping on top of ever-evolving COVID-19 variants. Most countries—including the U.S.—have scaled down or eliminated pandemic measures, including pre-flight testing and screening, giving the virus a greater opportunity to slip into countries undetected and start spreading.

Launched by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...

COVID-19 Can Cause New Cholesterol Problems. What to Know
Not long after the start of the global coronavirus pandemic, it was apparent that many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 were developing persistent and, in some cases, debilitating health problems.

But those are just the start. Medical researchers have also linked SARS-CoV-2 to lingering complications in multiple organs and systems, and some recent work has found that new-onset cholesterol problems may be an under-recognized but common complication o...
