Coronavirus Stress Relief
It is hard to think "coronavirus" and not feel stress. Some of us are worried about catching it, some are worried about money, their jobs, or how they can financially recover, many have lost loved ones, and too many are stuck at home with an abuser. It is a hotpot of stress, and I hope this will help.

A Country Comparison Amongst COVID-19
Affecting almost all corners of the planet to varying degrees, it is worthwhile to discuss the discrepancies between different countries’ method of suppressing COVID-19 subsequent to the obvious difference in results and current quality of life. An example of this dissimilarity would be that of Canada, which has around 227 cases per million, and Taiwan, which has around 2.15. Despite a population concentrated on an island comparable in size to that of Vancouver Island, Taiwan made strides to defeat the virus through rigorous measures, the customary transparency of the government, and a culture of unity and cooperative conformity; this proves to be a combination of macro level factors and a strong government.

The Lesson My Lipoma Taught Me
When most people think of body art, including me, they think of tattoos and in some cases, piercings. I do not have any tattoos as I am more of a piercings gal, but this could also be due to my cowardice since I have a fear of needles. I mean I barely got through my flu shot the other day. However, the body art that is dearest to me isn’t any of the holes I’ve added to my body but rather one that became a part of me three years ago.

What it means to be sick in 2020
The morning had started like any other. An early chill had set into the apartment overnight without the crack of windows being present. The rise of the lower units’ heat had dissipated as they had lowered it down to rest easy through the night themselves. Looking through the broken blinds of the third floor bedroom I can see the gray clouds overhead as they are releasing their damp contents onto the world below.

I Can't Cross My Fingers Anymore
Over the past couple of years I have noticed that my RA was causing me to lose my ability to do things that I was once able to do. It started out small, with things that really didn't bother me, you know like I was cracking my fingers more, to limber them up. my elbows would take spells burning I mean really bad, it would usually last between 15 to 30 minutes at a time and they would do that sometimes 2 to 3 times a day.

My dealings with Lupus
Hello world my name is Reba and I’ve had lupus for 7 years now. Lupus is an inflammatory disease caused when the immune system attacks its own tissues. Lupus (SLE) can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. I was diagnosed at age 19 but before then it took about 6 months for the doctors to properly diagnose me. The first signs I had of lupus were stiffness. When I would sit down or stand up for long periods of time and move again I would get very stiff and it would be hard to move. I would get swollen knuckles and my wrists would swell up, it was so hard to open a bottle of water. At the time I had no idea what was going on with me, I thought maybe I was loosing my mind or something. I would often forget things and have Brain fog so if someone was talking to me and ask me a question on something that I clearly knew what it was I would pause for a few seconds and couldn’t remember anything it was very embarrassing. Then my hair started falling out in certain spots and I started getting rashes on my face and body. That made me feel very insecure and so I started wearing wigs and makeup, this all happened in one year before I turned 19.

Why We Need to Educate All Children about Neurodiversity and Autism
Today, I was walking my son to school and we met up with a little girl from his class. She kissed her mum goodbye after crossing the last road and we walked up to the school gate together (I have a handover with a teacher for my autistic son, but other children enter the school by themselves.) My son skipped on ahead and the girl turned to me and said, “Your son is very weird sometimes.”

NHS Launches Covid 19 Track And Trace App
One of the main parts of the UK government's defence against the Covid 19 virus is a new contact tracing app which helps identify people you may have been in contact with who have the virus. When people are experiencing Covid symptoms, they must record it in their app to ensure that other people's apps can recognise this and let other people know that they have to take appropriate action and self isolate. The app has many different features which help people look after themselves when they are out and about. These include:
