(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) A study led by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) shows that only four percent of the children tested in seven of the nation’s major pediatric centers were infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Published Nov. 23 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, the findings suggest that children are less likely to catch the disease and may be able […]

(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) Recent studies have shown that mutation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19, is not only becoming more prevalent but is also more contagious than its original strain. This potentially makes the virus more virulent than when it first spread out in Wuhan, China — where the first cases of COVID-19 were reported. In fact, […]

(Natural News) Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) broadened the definition of “close contact” for COVID-19 — the disease caused by the novel coronavirus — after a correctional officer in Vermont who had brief close contact with infected prisoners contracted the disease. According to the officer, he was “never around the infected people for […]

(Natural News) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said that an order mandating vaccination against the Wuhan coronavirus should be considered if it would help curb the outbreak. Biden made the statement during a town hall in Pennsylvania televised Oct. 15, adding that “the state of the nature of the vaccine when it comes out and […]

(Natural News) A gym in Krakow, Poland, is rebranding itself as a “church” to stay open amid the country’s lockdown orders. In an Oct. 17 Facebook post by its manager Marta Jamróz, Atlantic Sports Fitness announced that “a religious congregation of members [is] starting today at … the ‘Church of the Healthy Body.’” Jamroz also dubbed […]

(Natural News) Researchers have uncovered molecular interactions within the genome of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) that could lead to more effective antiviral agents. In a study published Nov. 05 in the journal Molecular Cell, a team from the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with researchers from Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, mapped the RNA-RNA interactions that govern the […]

(Natural News) In the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, countries across the globe have enforced lockdowns to prevent infections. But according to a modeling study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, combined preventive measures are more effective at slowing the spread of coronavirus than enforcing individual measures like lockdowns. In the study, researchers estimated the effect individual […]

(Natural News) Grocery stores in Wales have covered up “non-essential items” on their shelves as part of the Welsh government’s lockdown measures. A report by Sun Online shared pictures of supermarket chains Tesco and Asda covering up non-essential goods such as books, clothes, beddings, alcoholic beverages, and electronics. The move came after the Welsh government […]
