'With people now seeing themselves on screen for hours a day, there was a greater scrutiny of the fine lines and wrinkles,' a plastic surgeon explained.

How doubt is fuelling the debate over the origin of coronavirus.

Network approaches are key to understand epidemic spreading, inherently driven by human mobility patterns and constrained by transport systems. In this work, the authors develop a country distance framework to capture the spread of COVID-19 on top of the airline network, analyzing the effectiveness of mobility restrictions in the presence of multiple outbreaks and suggesting strategies for optimized coordinated travel restrictions.

Filipino Americans account for 4 percent of the nurses in the U.S. but about 25 percent of Covid-19 deaths among nurses. Some are leaving the profession, prioritizing family and feeling a sense of resilience.
