Coronavirus & the Panic Pandemic
Coronavirus or COVID-19 There are two things to keep in mind when considering the possible implications of any virus. One is the damage the virus itself can cause to a bodily system. The other is the secondary reaction, or the way the body responds in trying to destroy or eject the virus. Such symptoms may include coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and the like. Often, this immune response may be more disruptive than the disease itself, causing pain and discomfort as the body tries to rid itself of illness. In rare and unlikely cases, the body’s reaction may be so severe that death occurs.  Social Immune Response...

‘ It Tricks You ’ : Healthy 27-Year-Old Shares Coronavirus Recovery Story
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – Cameron Karosis is a healthy 27-year-old. The Cambridge man eats nutritional foods and exercises daily.

OXFORD (CBS) – An Oxford gym that defied the state’s coronavirus safety guidelines until a court intervened will be allowed to partially reopen this week.

Our Diets Are Changing Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Is It for the Better?
The coronavirus pandemic has changed a lot about modern American life: how we work, socialize, and even how we eat. Dining out is a distant memory.

Chan School of Public Health. More than 40% of U.S. adults are obese. After years of declines, heart disease death rates are on the rise again. So are rates of obesity-linked canc...

Talking to Children about COVID-19:  Reducing Hysteria During a Global Emergency
“Wash your hands!” My kids hear me say this all the time, but this week these three words have taken on a new meaning.
