Training Our Immune Systems: Why We Should Insist on a High-Quality COVID-19 Vaccine – Opinion

October 23, 2020 – 12:05 am

Byram W. Bridle; Samira Mubareka; Shayan Sharif | The Conversation

ATHLETES UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT APPROACHES THAT CAN BE TAKEN WHEN TRAINING THEIR BODIES. For example, lifting heavy weights is a great way to achieve maximum strength.

Oct 18, 2020- The Story within the Story – By Leonard Gildarie

Kaieteur News – In the next few years, the country will be unrecognizable, especially when it comes to demographics.

The Venezuela crisis has pushed hundreds of thousands of residents of that oil-rich country elsewhere.

We have received, it is estimated, in excess of 50,000 of them here with a community established in Region One.

The figures would not take into account the number of returning Guyanese. Hundreds of them have come back home with hopes of reversing their dire financial situation.        Continue reading →

Unlike previous rapid, antibody tests, which can show when someone has had COVID-19 but often gives a negative result during the early stages of infection, PAHO Director Dr Carissa F Etienne said the new rapid, antigen tests are “much more accurate in determining if someone is currently infected”.  Continue reading →
