Protocol in Question
Just this past week, articles such as the BBC News, Billboard, The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune and many others have reported about ticketmaster's suggested Post-COVID screening framework. From the Billboard website article published by Dave Brooks on Nov.11, 2020, twice it has stated Ticketmaster's goal for anyone gaining entry into concerts. Unless attendees have taken the vaccine or have provided proof that they have been tested 24-72 hrs prior, they cannot be granted access into the concert event.

The Apocolypse is here!
The apocalypse is here! The apocalypse is here! Screamed a random elderly man in front of the church down the street from me. I use to think he was crazy, but turns out he may be right!!

The Silent Killer
I remember as a kid I would complain to my mother about not feeling well. She would nod her head and say I was fine that I was just making an excuse to not go to school! Which most of the time was probably true! However there were a lot of times that my energy was extremely low. I would run in P.E. for maybe 2 min and be extremely winded with my heart racing out of my chest. Little did I know these symptoms as a young kid were about to come into play in a huge way as an adult!

The Wonder of H2O
My Holy Grail is not an expensive moisturizer that costs the same as the weekly grocery shopping. It's not an exclusive hair serum made from ingredients that sound like that they've been lifted by the pages of a science-fiction novel. It's not a fancy grooming gadget that has more functions than my smartphone.

Dr. Pusher
For most of my life, I believed that Western Medicine and Pharmacology were far superior and more effective than any other form of healthcare and healing. I mean, they make a pill for everything, right? I am not born of the healthiest family tree, both lineages are riddled with disease and illness. But, when you got sick, you went to the doctor. You got a shot or some pills, and you were good as new in no time. The doctor's office was a safe place. Doctors are the good guys. They save lives. I trusted them.

Ravi Morisetty The 12 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets Of Pharmacists
The person on the opposite side of the table comes across numerous patients throughout the day. While you see yourself asking for the medications, a pharmacist sees a pool of customers eagerly waiting to get their turn. While the whole world was asked to stay inside during the pandemic, the health workers were given the responsibility of taking care of patients that got infected. According to Ravi Morisetty, the role of every single druggist would become more vital than any other person once the vaccine gets into the commercialization stage. With rough 4.3 billion prescriptions that physicians write every year, one can only imagine how efficiently they are delivered, especially with the sloppy handwriting that comes with it. A close look at what one faces behind the counter would clear out the picture.
