Is It Allergies, The Flu Or The Coronavirus? How To Tell The Difference
(CNN) — The coronavirus has infected more than 100,000 people worldwide. With all of the news of event cancellations, empty flights and health precautions (wash your hands!), it’s natural that people may get a little anxious every time they feel a tickle in their throat or the beginnings of a bad cough.
While the coronavirus is certainly something to take seriously, the chances of any individual person getting it are still low.

Coronavirus Has Not Significantly Mutated, Easing Long-Lasting Vaccine Development
(CBS) – Researchers say the novel coronavirus is not mutating significantly as it spreads over the globe, which may give scientists an advantage when it comes to developing a vaccine.
All viruses mutate over time, but according to the Washington Post, researchers at Johns Hopkins have studied the genetic code of more than a thousand samples of the new coronavirus and have found it’s staying pretty much the same.
That means it isn’t likely to become more or less dangerous. Perhaps more importantly, it may give scientists the chance to develop a long-lasting vaccine that wouldn’t need to be given every year, unli...

Delaying Death Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic
By Joseph ChamieNEW YORK, Jun 15 2020 (IPS) While the end of life remains the inescapable fate of every man, woman and child, death can be delayed as has been demonstrated repeatedly throughout human history. Amid the current coronavirus pandemic, a paramount objective is delaying death from Covid-19 for many millions of people across the globe.
Yet, now approaching 500,000 Covid-19 deaths worldwide and many more expected before a vaccine becomes available, the objective of delaying deaths due to the novel coronavirus is far from being realized. Greater efforts are clearly required to contain the pandemic’s spread and mi...
