Perhaps it was the start of remote learning for my kids that the reality has set in. I’ve been down this week, any positive uplifting news that we could be heading in the right direction?
I'm having a hard week too. I don't have any specific news but please know you aren't alone. I'm crying on my keyboard.
Yes same here. Hoping for more positive news this week... And hopefully we can reopen and resume to normalcy soon.
Not sure if this helps you, but sometimes just getting enough rest can relieve stress and help us feel rejuvenated. If possible, try getting 8 hours of sleep and/or a quick nap during the day... You might feel much better

"The vast majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients show lung damage 6 weeks after discharge, but this proportion drops significantly after 12 weeks, suggesting that the lungs have a self-repair mechanism, researchers report."
YeS!!! Similar to many many other respiratory viruses!! I’m so glad to see this
Wasnt there also some recent positive results about the healing effects of stem cells - meaning their ability to reverse some of the more serious damage?
