Many questions about the coronavirus still remain, but few prompt as much heated discussion as the true origin of this deadly pandemic.
Based on what we know, there’s little doubt that the virus is of animal origins. Despite piles of scientific evidence, some still insist on spreading baseless conspiracies. Tap or click here to see why COVID-19 is not a bioweapon.
If you’ve temporarily transitioned from life in an office to working from home, you may be struggling to stay focused when you’re supposed to be working. It can be hard to adjust to a new normal — especially with the slew of new distractions that pique your interest online every single day.
Imagine if this pandemic had happened 10 or 15 years ago when the internet, along with our population, wasn’t as adept as it is today. Thankfully, we have tremendous tools at our fingertips that allow us to continue working, learning and thriving. But with the good comes the bad.
With the pandemic keeping us all apart from one another, it’s important to keep in touch with loved ones however we can. That also means we should regularly check in with our older or immunocompromised friends and family members.
The coronavirus has people around the world practicing social distancing. To stave off boredom, we’re all spending a lot more time online than ever before, but it’s negatively impacting those who need a good connection to work from their home offices.
So many of us are working from home these days that our work desks have transformed into highly personal spaces. And just like the rooms we live in, we’ve filled our desks with all manner of equipment, accessories and doodads.
Our electronic devices are used almost daily, meaning they can get downright nasty. Our screens get smudged, our keyboards collect dust and that dry cloth we use to wipe things down doesn’t seem to have much effect.
Knowing how to clean our tech is one of the many ways we can control the spread of germs in our homes. And right now, knowing how to sanitize things should be a top priority.
Technology is constantly changing how we interact with each other and spend our time. It’s also what helps us get through tough times, like staying indoors to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.
But while we all enjoy our technology for entertainment, others take advantage of tech for other reasons. Those with vision, speech and hearing challenges are now able to use their smart devices to improve their daily lives. Tap or click here to use your smartphone to make real-time transcribed calls.
One way people are coping with the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing is by using teleconferencing apps to keep in touch with family and friends. Apps like FaceTime and Zoom make it easier to feel connected to the outside world.
As a previously unknown illness, there’s a great deal we still need to learn about COVID-19. The long-term effects of the disease have yet to be studied and symptoms in infected patients can vary wildly from person to person.
