(Natural News) A study by British researchers found that patients may still have some form of immunity to COVID-19 long after the antibodies specific to the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) have fallen below detectable levels. Researchers from Public Health England (PHE) and the U.K. Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC), a public research initiative established to stem the COVID-19 pandemic, found that the T […]

(Natural News) Previous infection with other coronaviruses may lessen the severity of COVID-19, reports a new study. Researchers at Boston University found that owing to genetic similarities with the SARS-CoV-2, prior exposure to other coronaviruses primes the immune system to mount a better response to the virus responsible for COVID-19. Although this doesn’t prevent people from contracting COVID-19, it does lessen […]

(Natural News) Social distancing and other measures meant to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) this year could result in a surge of flu cases next year. This is according to a new study by researchers from Princeton University. According to the researchers, social distancing and other so-called non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have helped slow […]

(Natural News) In this study, Chinese researchers explored the underlying mechanism of luteolin’s effect on influenza virus-infected cells. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Natural Medicines. Influenza is an acute transmissible respiratory disease that affects humans and animals and has high morbidity and mortality rates. According to previous studies, luteolin, […]

(Natural News) Health officials in the African nation of South Sudan confirmed a new outbreak of the poliovirus – ironically caused by vaccinations against it. The South Sudan Ministry of Health (MOH) said 15 vaccine-derived polio cases were identified in the northwestern portion of the country. Vaccine-derived polio is a rare instance in which the […]

(Natural News) China is on the verge of grappling with another potentially massive outbreak. According to The Epoch Times, a highly infectious bacterial disease called brucellosis is spreading to farms in neighboring Shaanxi Province, and even as far as Inner Mongolia. The disease initially took hold in China’s northwest Gansu Province last year after a botched sanitation […]

(Natural News) More than one million individuals around the world have died of COVID-19 — the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus — as of Sept. 28. The loss of human lives serves as a grim milestone in the spread of this pandemic, which has affected economies and forced paradigm shifts. According to data from Johns Hopkins […]

(Natural News) Not every home is fortunate enough to have access to clean drinking water. On Saturday, Sept. 26, officials issued a disaster declaration in Lake Jackson, Texas, after a brain-eating amoeba infected a six-year-old boy. Lake Jackson’s water supply potentially contaminated After the incident, Lake Jackson officials placed the city under a “do not use […]

(Natural News) Less than 10 percent of American adults had evidence of seroconversion — the development of virus-specific antibodies — in July, despite the United States replacing China as the country with the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases as early as March. Researchers at Stanford University reported this finding in an article published in The Lancet last week, […]

(Natural News) A person’s vitamin D status may determine his susceptibility to COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus. In a new study published September 4, researchers at the University of Chicago found that, compared to people with normal vitamin D levels, those who were deficient in the vitamin have a greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19.
