My Journey having the Coronavirus (Covid 19)
Dear, Readers I want to share my JOURNEY and RECOVERY of the Coronavirus(COVID-19) On March 19,2020 I found out I had Contracted the deadly virus name Coronavirus(COVID-19). I remember like it was yesterday the day I caught the virus. I was at Phoenix International Airport in Arizona sitting in the terminal waiting on my flight back to Las Vegas. There was a guy sitting to the right of me with only a small coffee table between us, the guy seemed a little odd because It was hot outside and he was wearing all black heavy winter clothing a coat,scarf,hat,snow boots, and his gloves was hooked on to his backpack which was sitting on the floor next to him. He had a laptop on his lap, I found myself staring at him unwillingly it was like my eyes was drown to him as I read my book my eyes kept drifting back towards him. He noticed me looking at the screen of his laptop, he was coughing heavily and repeatedly then he unzipped his coat to try to block his laptop. He laid on the floor and took his coat off and covered his laptop but I already seen his screen, I said to myself “OMG” he’s a hacker. One might ask themselves how do she know he was a hacker? before the world went on lockdown I was starting school for IT coding. While starting training I was showed how to spot bugs and prevent a cyber attack .When I seen his screen I knew exactly what he was doing. Whats more Ironic is on my way to the airport my cousin called and asked me did I have a mask I replied “NO”and brushed the question off by telling her “I’m going to be fine“. I boarded my flight to Las Vegas I arrived at McCarran International Airport around 3:45 pm at that time I felt wonderful, happy to be back home to see my kids. The next day my body started to feel weird as if I was catching a common cold at least that’s what I perceived it to be. I made myself some hot tea with honey and lemon and said to my family “I don’t fell right”. I called my cousin (the same cousin who asked me if I had a mask for my flight) she picked up on the first ring. I said to her I feel weird” she replied “What do you mean”?

Non-touch is the new normal
The first records of thermometers being used by people date the year of 1600, the tool known as the rudimentary water thermometer (which was invented by astronomer Galileu Galilei and consisted in a device filled with liquid and glass bulbs), which was, naturally, a simpler version of what is well-known and utilized nowadays, mainly as a consequence of the limited resources they had at that time. For a long time, it was unknown the correlation between temperature and illnesses, until Hermann Boerhaave, Gerard L.B. Van Swieten and Anton De Haen discovered that temperature and illnesses were indeed connected and that they could potentially treat their patients more efficiently and discover with less effort potential infections taking into consideration their body temperature.

The future of the health industry is now
Technology develops in a constant and rapidly move, for this reason society needs to adapt to this fast changes. That was a time when performing a surgery was out of cogitation and now, is not only possible to perform painless surgeries but also the improvement in technology is even creating new ways to make it more precise, effective, easily to recover and less invasive. This is possible with the use and assistance of surgical robots.

The Wake Up Call
Nothing is worst than one if your children not feeling well. When you’re in a couple of some sorts there are steps you can take to make sure one of you is home with the sick child, or one wakes up and sits with them when they are up most of the night while the other can get rest. But when you’re a single parent there is no one to tag. I’ve probably mentioned before that I am a big Wrestling fan, so please excuse the metaphor. But when you’re single, it’s like you’ve been getting doubled teamed, and there is no one to tag. You can’t win.

Witchcraft...Why?
So, as a child, I grew up Catholic in Salem, MA. I went to what we would lovingly call "Jesus Camp", helped to run Vacation Bible School, was the first female Altar Server in my church, and went on MANY Mission Trips all starting in elementary school straight through to college.

Thumb Sprain: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment Plan
A stable thumb is very important for your pinch & grasp activities. A sprained thumb is a painful condition caused due to an injury or damage to the main ligament (ulnar collateral ligament) connecting the bones at the base of your thumb. The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) might get partially or completely tear due to extreme backward bending of your thumb. Usually it is very common among basketball, rugby & football players. If your sprained thumb is not treated properly, it may eventually lead to develop muscle weakness, joint stiffness, scar tissue formation or even early arthritis.

Scorpio Season
“Seeing Death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.” (D. Searls) Without mercy, end of October plunges us into dark cold waters of the most intense, mysterious, dark and sexual sign of the zodiac. Scorpio is closely linked to the cycles of transformation – Death and Rebirth. Each zodiac sign, and its astrological season, carries within it a medicine to help us transition into the next one. Scorpio teaches us the importance of facing up to the difficult emotions, intense energies, harsh truths & hardships that come with life sometimes, so that we can transcend the constrictions of our current form & shoot forward, past our comfort zones, like the arrow of Sagittarius, that follows up Scorpio’s contracting inward facing energy with a huge expansion.
