How Can I Prevent Coronavirus? Should I Wear A Mask? And Other Questions
BOSTON (CBS) – The Centers for Disease control has cautioned that, based on current patterns, coronavirus is likely to become a global pandemic. With no approved vaccine or medication to treat it, that could ultimately result in overloaded healthcare systems.
What is a pandemic?
Simply put, a pandemic is a global, widespread outbreak of a new illness. Because it is new, people don’t have the ability to fight it and can be easily infected. The last pandemic to widely affect the United States was H1N1 flu in 2009. The worst pandemic in history was the Spanish flu outbreak in 1918 which killed 50 million people worldw...

The Second Wave: Coronavirus & Mental Health
The global novel coronavirus pandemic afflicting everyone is showing mixed signs of activity. In some countries it appears to be easing, while in others it appears to be experiencing a resurgence. It’s not at all clear when the pandemic will end, but it’s unlikely to do so before 2021.
What has become increasingly clear is that the toll of the pandemic will impact more than the people who come down with COVID-19. The mental health impact of living with a pandemic is being mostly ignored — for now.
But as the deaths continue to rise, we need to pay close attention to the cost of the pandemic’s reperc...

Coronavirus: What You Should And Shouldn ’ t Do
BOSTON (CBS) – New coronavirus cases are now being reported on a daily basis across the world. So what should you do when it comes to dealing with it? Here’s some advice:
DO: WASH YOUR HANDS AND AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE, MOUTH

Masks probably won’t do much good when worn by healthy people and may give a false sense of security. Instead, reserve them for people who really need them, like sick patients and health care workers.
DO: CLEAN SHARED SURFACES WITH DISIN...

That’s surprisingly low considering the effort going into the global race for a vaccine against the coronavirus that has sparked a pandemic since first emerging from China late last year. But more people might eventually roll up their sleeves: The poll, released Wednesday, found 31% simply weren’t sure if they’d get vaccinated. Another 1 in 5 said they’d refuse.
