Is COVID Long Haulers, The New Normal?

These persistent symptoms, while occasionally bothersome, are typically debilitating for everyday activities. Long-haulers' difficulties are complicated even further by the fact that not one or two COVID cases are identical. Long COVID is a condition that might manifest itself differently and add to an individual's health problems, according to the CDC. To read what experts are saying, Click Here

Dr Fauci’s Winter Plan

The number of cases and hospitalizations in the United States has dropped since the delta surge in the summer — but this is slowing down. The number of Americans who die every day from COVID-19 remains around 1,000 a day. New infections remain at around 72,000 per day. What does this mean for the winter? With the reduction in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, no doubt things are progressing in the correct manner. "The steepness of the deflection isn't as good as it was," Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Trump for COVID-19 told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly.
