The Coronavirus is a group of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. Most people are exposed to coronaviruses when they are young, and our immune systems fight the infection. In some individuals, however, coronaviruses can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronaviruses are the most common cause of respiratory illness in humans around the globe. The WHO estimates that there are about 221 million cases of human coronavirus infection each year. Most people have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, cough, or fever, but some people may develop a more serious condition, such as bronchitis or pneumonia. People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, are at a higher risk of more serious symptoms.
What if the decision to skip a COVID vaccine revealed something more profound about how people approach safety in general? Researchers studying over 11 million adults have uncovered an unexpected relationship that challenges our understanding of risk-taking behavior. While analyzing traffic accident data across an entire population, scientists discovered a pattern that extends far beyond…
What if the shot you took to protect your lungs also ended up protecting your heart? For years, COVID-19 vaccines have been under the microscope—praised, politicized, and scrutinized from every angle. While debates raged on about side effects and mandates, something quieter but far more consequential was happening in the background: heart attacks and strokes…
More than five years after the start of the pandemic, the U.S. is in a far better place. But the virus hasn’t disappeared. In fact, recent CDC data shows that COVID-19 is still killing hundreds of Americans each week, with an average of 350 weekly deaths reported this spring. That number is a fraction of…
When the world began to reopen after COVID-19, most people moved on—back to work, travel, hugs, and crowded spaces. But not everyone could. For Karl Knights, a 29-year-old writer with cerebral palsy and a suppressed immune system, the risks of infection were too high to rejoin daily life. While others resumed normal routines, he stayed…
Millions of people who contracted COVID-19 now face a hidden health consequence – myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Recent research reveals alarming numbers: individuals with a COVID-19 history are nearly eight times more likely to develop ME/CFS compared to those without infection. As a physician who survived serious illness as a child, I recognize how…
Recent history has painfully shown how quickly a virus can transcend continents, disrupting lives, economies, and the very fabric of societies. The World Health Organization (WHO) continuously monitors and updates its list of priority pathogens—those notorious culprits with the potential to cause significant global health emergencies. But why should we, as non-scientists, care about these…
The CDC maintains the current risk to the general public for contracting COVID-19 remains low. However, they are also warning Americans to prepare for the worst. They say it’s no longer a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ the coronavirus will become a serious matter in the United States. It comes out of growing concern over the respiratory…
The CDC has revised its criteria for testing for the novel coronavirus after a woman tested positive for the virus in California. Initially, the CDC was reluctant to test her for COVID-19 because she didn’t meet their original criteria, mainly because she was exposed to someone else who had the virus. Luckily, her doctors persisted…
