(Natural News) The annoying common cold may yet turn out to be a blessing if researchers with the Imperial College London are correct. Since the pandemic started, researchers have speculated that coronaviruses could offer some cross-reactive immunity against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), and growing evidence points to that direction. Recent studies show that recovery from the common flu can also prevent infection […]

(Natural News) Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin didn’t hold back against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine Sunday, Dec. 20, during a speaking engagement at the conservative student group Turning Point USA’s Americafest event in Phoenix, Arizona. “Over my dead body,” Palin said as she expressed her stance against getting jabbed with a COVID-19 vaccine. Palin explained […]

(Natural News) People who recover from mild cases of COVID-19 develop antibodies that may protect them from the Wuhan coronavirus, say researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL). In their report, which was published in Nature, the team noted that these immune cells can persist for a lifetime as they continue to produce […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Yale University found that exposure to rhinovirus, the most common virus that causes the cold, can jump-start the immune system and protect people against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). The presence of the virus that causes the common cold can begin the activity of interferon-stimulated genes. These are some of the early-response molecules in the immune […]

(Natural News) A new study suggests that the composition of gut microbiota could help predict COVID-19 severity. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) examined stool samples from COVID-19 patients and found that those who were critically ill had altered gut microbiomes. The researchers also identified a commensal bacterium called Enterococcus faecalis as a strong predictor of COVID-19 severity. E. faecalis is a symbiont with a […]

(Natural News) Increasing ultraviolet (UV) levels in the environment can decrease the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), reports a new a study published in the journal PNAS. According to its authors, this suggests that the disease has a seasonal pattern (like all other coronaviruses), and understanding this pattern could help improve global response to the pandemic. They […]

(Natural News) Plastic face shields have become a popular alternative to face masks throughout the pandemic. Besides being less restrictive than a face mask, a face shield allows people to see the wearer’s mouth. This helps people who are hard of hearing understand the wearer better when communicating. However, new research reveals that a face shield […]

(Natural News) COVID-19 reinfection is highly unlikely for at least six months after the last infection, according to a study by researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The study, published on Nov. 19 as a pre-print, offers valuable insight into COVID-19 immunity that has so far stumped scientists. The findings also confirm that […]

(Natural News) A major study in Denmark found that face masks do not protect the people who wear them from contracting the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). However, the researchers do not have enough data to conclude whether face masks can prevent infected people from spreading the disease. The study was conducted by scientists from the University of […]

(Natural News) A study that will soon be published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents found that a treatment using hydroxychloroquine significantly lowered hospitalizations and mortality rates in coronavirus patients. The study compared two groups of people. The first was a group of 141 patients who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and were treated […]
