I disagree with you Mike. I live in the So. California desert and everything is blooming now, and so are the allergies. The birds, the bees and the butterflies are having a feast in my garden, and the winds bring a lot of pollen trapped in the sand. I am using eye drops all the time and my nose and eyes are always running.…

Don't you have COVID n the UK? I don't worry about Christmas or Holidays meal at all this year. As long as my husband and I are healthy and breathing on our own, a sandwich and a glass' of wine will do. Our home is close to guests of any kind. Hard but necessary to keep everybody healthy. I just can't believe that people…

I hope that COVID is not one of those friends....

Awesome reading about somebody with common sense <3 ! I know that it will be hard for you and your family but you are saving lives, and having consideration for the medical professionals dealing with this pandemic. Kudos and good luck to you.

I just saw this online. I am sure that people want to spend Thanksgiving with friends and families, I do; however, it is risky. Better staying home enjoying the turkey on your own or with only people already in your bubble. Yes, I get it is not fun and it is depressing, but I think that being in the hospital with tubes up…

I am glad that my husband and I don't have any plans to meet family or friends for the holidays. It doesn't look good so better safe alone at home, than sorry and sick in the hospital. Physician predicts spike in US Covid-19 cases after Thanksgiving Dr. James Phillips, chief of disaster medicine at George Washington…

This a reminder of what happens when people still think that wearing masks, keeping social distance, mingling with friends and families, attending weddings and gathering, is still OK while the pandemic is rampant. Maine wedding outbreak offers a cautionary Covid-19 tale for the holidays So far, this one wedding reception…

I wish we could do it too but I never found the way. I don't think that it is possible in the web version. I don't use the app. I decided to delete recipes that I don't use often, and I often edit my own recipes using different items or changing the proportions, instead of creating a new one. This allows me to keep the…

Please tell your husband to wear a mask in the house and you do the same thing. Better if try to keep away from each other as much as possible to reduce any high viral load infection. Hugs to both of you.

Neither is having love ones, or yourself, in the hospital hooked up to a ventilator or 6 feet under ground. The economy will not flourish if people is sick and can't go to work. Sick or dead people are not very productive. Yes, masks are easy to use and they do work. So let's do our part to keep everybody healthy until the…

Agree. I have three :D

In addition they will do the distribution themselves because they have suppliers already lined-up. They know how to do it, and I think that they don't trust the ability of the government to keep the vaccine as such low temperatures as it is needed. Word of caution: Pfizer just run what is called an interim efficacy…

Stevia or splenda. No milk or creamer of any kind.

Exactly because we are not all the same height, weight and age. Shorter, petite and not so young people don't need to eat that many calories per meal. I don't.

@T1DCarnivoreRunner Natural herd immunity (direct infection by the virus) is dangerous and not as effective as herd immunity via vaccination. Natural herd immunity may only provide neutralizing antibodies for a short period of time, and there are studies that determined that the number of neutralizing antibodies are in…

I am not a Chrismassy person either, specially after the kids left home. For awhile and when we all lived near by and the grandchildren were young, Christmas made more sense. These year not so much; with COVID still around we are not getting together. Our bubbles are different. My husband puts the tree up when at least…

Gyms are open in your area????

I am also skipping it and the same for Christmas. Not worthy for me or my husband to get sick or make somebody sick just to keep a tradition that can be celebrated next year in better conditions (hopefully :/ ). Neither of us would be enjoying the celebration trying to keep people apart, wearing masks and hoping that…

My husband and I will be binging on season 5 of the sottish show The Outlander. I think that we still have about 5 more episodes before we are done. I will be enjoying the steaming hot love scenes more than what ever scenes takes place in the reality of Election Night. I am just concerned that I will not be able to sleep…

Not having high temperature is not a sign that your are COVID free; many people are infectious and without symptoms, but they can still shed the virus and infect others, and others, and others. Meet with with whoever you want, it is your right and enjoy it; but don't fool yourself, do not discard reality and science, and…

Does the concept of a "State of Emergency" exist in American law? A provision where emergency powers can be triggered to allow for the authorities to take certain enforcement actions that wouldn't be normal if the emergency didn't exist? Many countries around the world have declared the COVID19 crisis as an emergency in…

Since many of you are planning to get together with family and friends during the holidays, I though that this health information would be helpful. Be safe! Household spread of Covid-19 is common and quick, a new CDC study finds https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/30/health/household-spread-covid-19-wellness/index.html

My husband has been working the polls for every local and general election for many years. This year, I told him that it was a No-No. He is 81 years old with some underlying medical conditions and being in an enclosed place for over 12 hours (yes, this is how long it takes from setting the tables early in the morning to…

Lovely attitude! Yes, being in maintenance has a lot of perks. 1) Not need to weigh and/or log every little morsel that I put in my mouth and not worrying if I don't log for few days. 2) Feeling good about what I learned while loosing and trusting my intuitive eating. 3) Being on vacation, not logging or weighing food and…

But Election day is always on the first Tuesday in November (on 11/03 this year). Did COVID changed it to Wednesday or are you taking that day off to relax or to recuperate from Tuesday's results, what ever they may be.. :p )

Agree, that is why I can't donate blood :'(

From Dr. Sanjay Gupta Why we won’t feel the full impact of vaccines until next year There’s a lot of hope pinned to vaccines, but it’s important that people understand that even if a vaccine is authorized soon, we won’t fully feel the effects of it until next year. It will take time to vaccinate the initial groups of…

I searched for eligibility criteria for donating plasma after COVID-19 infection, but I didn't find anything related to BMI. In India, a donor has to be above 50kg to donate, and older than 17 years old. That is the only info that I saw related to weight. However, even if donations are still recommended, so far the results…

I saw an article online about the Regeneron cocktail, but I haven't had a chance to read it in detail. It is my understanding that the monoclonal antibodies were not supposed to have a lasting effect, and that the present therapeuticals were only designed to control the virus and infection as early as possible, and before…

Some more information that came out today and a link abotu the Oxford vaccine.
