Good nutrition is key to maintaining a healthy immune system and boosting its ability to fight infectious diseases. Therefore, eating a well-balanced diet is especially important during this pandemic that’s caused by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). In a paper published in the Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences, researchers from Aga Khan University in Pakistan explored the relevance of good nutrition to immune health and … Continue reading Fight the coronavirus with proper diet and good nutrition
Study: N95 masks with exhalation valves cannot stop the spread of coronavirus
A new study from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is warning the public against using N95 face masks that have built-in exhalation valves, as these allow unfiltered air to escape. This makes these kinds of masks useless at preventing the wearer of the mask from spreading the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to others. NIST research engineer … Continue reading Study: N95 masks with exhalation valves cannot stop the spread of coronavirus
What’s in the coronavirus’s genome that makes it a much better antiviral target than its spike protein?
Researchers have uncovered molecular interactions within the genome of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) that could lead to more effective antiviral agents. In a study published Nov. 05 in the journal Molecular Cell, a team from the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with researchers from Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, mapped the RNA-RNA interactions that govern the mechanisms by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus behind … Continue reading What’s in the coronavirus’s genome that makes it a much better antiviral target than its spike protein?
FDA has granted “emergency-use authorization” to Eli Lilly’s coronavirus antibody treatment
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Eli Lilly’s antibody drug emergency-use authorization on Monday, Nov. 9. Early data has strongly suggested that the pharmaceutical company’s antibody drug is effective at keeping people with mild to moderate cases of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) from needing to get admitted to a hospital. The FDA extended the emergency approval to the experimental therapy known … Continue reading FDA has granted “emergency-use authorization” to Eli Lilly’s coronavirus antibody treatment
Coronavirus antibodies plummet by half in under 3 months after peaking – study
A U.K. study raises fresh concerns that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is short-lived and that people may be reinfected after recovering the first time. Researchers from the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) found that the number of antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, drop by half less than three months after the peak reading and fall below … Continue reading Coronavirus antibodies plummet by half in under 3 months after peaking – study
VAX THE BLACKS: Joe Biden’s Covid-19 taskforce member recommends withholding food stamps and rent assistance from those who refuse coronavirus vaccines
If you vote for tyrants, you get tyranny. This is what millions of Joe Biden supporters are about to discover if their candidate manages to steal the election and seize control of the White House. A prominent member of Biden’s Covid-19 taskforce, a CIA-linked operative named Luciana Borio, says that people who refuse to be vaccinated should … Continue reading VAX THE BLACKS: Joe Biden’s Covid-19 taskforce member recommends withholding food stamps and rent assistance from those who refuse coronavirus vaccines
Scientists link vitamin D deficiencies to higher risk of coronavirus infection and severe complications
Vitamin D is known to protect against viral infections like the common cold and the flu. Given the vitamin’s immunomodulating properties and the active search for a safe and effective COVID-19 treatment, vitamin D has received widespread attention for its potential role in protecting against the dreaded disease. In a recent study, scientists from the University of Chicago found that vitamin D … Continue reading Scientists link vitamin D deficiencies to higher risk of coronavirus infection and severe complications
Governments left and right just won’t stop tyrannizing people with mask mandates
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, is once again punishing the people of his state with a fresh mask mandate and threat of business closures due to the ever-elusive reemergence of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “cases.” According to DeWine, the Chinese Virus has become extra scary all of a sudden – this just days after the contested election, conveniently … Continue reading Governments left and right just won’t stop tyrannizing people with mask mandates
REPORT: 15% of coronavirus deaths worldwide can be attributed to air pollution
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked to a heightened risk of death due to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Now, new research has estimated the proportion of COVID-19 deaths worldwide that could be attributed to air pollution. Published late October in the journal Cardiovascular Research, the study revealed that roughly 15 percent (or more than 180,000) COVID-19 deaths worldwide … Continue reading REPORT: 15% of coronavirus deaths worldwide can be attributed to air pollution
Child care and COVID-19: Study reveals child care centers don’t drive COVID-19 infections
Child care centers that stayed open during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. did not contribute to the spread of the disease, according to researchers from Yale University in Connecticut. In particular, the team found no evidence of child care being a contributor to COVID-19 transmission between children and adult providers. When the … Continue reading Child care and COVID-19: Study reveals child care centers don’t drive COVID-19 infections
