Logan Airport Not Currently Screening Passengers For Coronavirus
BOSTON (CBS/CNN) – A new Chinese coronavirus, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 200 people since the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December.
Boston’s Logan Airport is not currently screening passengers for the illness, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection told WBZ-TV. That’s because there are no direct flights to Boston from that region.
Additional health screening for coronavirus is in place at JFK Airport in New York, San Francisco International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. The agency said the CDC has determined that coronavirus presents a low risk to the American pu...

Coronavirus: Debunking Myths And Misinformation
(CNN) — As the novel coronavirus — and panic about the coronavirus — continues to spread around the world, so too are bogus claims, conspiracy theories and misinformation about the disease.
There’s so much inaccurate information floating around out there that the World Health Organization is calling it an “infodemic.” In perhaps the clearest sign of the times, WHO has joined TikTok to help set the record straight.

‘There Has to Be a Plan.’ For Relatives of Nursing Home Residents, Anger and Worry as the Coronavirus Spreads
Kevin Connolly says his father-in-law credits the Life Care Center of Kirkland, Washington with “giving him his life back.” It’s where he recovered from hospice care, flirted with nurses and enjoyed eating chicken pot pie. But now, it’s where Connolly worries the 81-year-old will die because of what he says has been a bungled response to the coronavirus outbreak that has devastated the nursing home facility, which is linked to at least 13 of the 19 coronavirus deaths that had been reported in the U.S. as of Sunday morning.

How the Stoics Can Keep Us Calm During the Coronavirus Outbreak
As a psychiatrist, I have seen dozens of patients who suffer from Panic Disorder — a biologically-based condition that can cause immense distress and incapacity for the affected person. But the kind of panic that is spreading in reaction to the Coronavirus outbreak has the potential to cause distress and incapacity on a world-wide scale — unless we all “get a grip.” It turns out that the ancient philosophy of Stoicism may be just what the world needs to calm down.
When we hear the term “stoic” many of us think of the phrase “keeping a stiff upper lip” or picture that famously stoical character fro...

In this article, I present steps to help you cope with the increased anxiety stemming from the coronavirus.
1. Understand Your Odds

Coronavirus Crisis: Trump Announces New Face Mask Recommendations
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Donald Trump announced new guidance from the White House on Friday afternoon, saying the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were advising the use of “non-medical cloth based” face coverings.
But he emphasized the recommendations were voluntary and that he, for one, would not partake.
“I don’t think I’m going to be doing it,” he said.
After weeks of insisting Americans should not wear face masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus — and even suggesting their use could increase the chance of infection — administration officials thi...
