It is not only a public health concern but it is an impediment to global poverty eradication, productivity and economic growth.

Naturally, those little packets didn’t help much, so I was skeptical when I started this whole crazy challenge. Of course, drinking real lemon juice and proper honey in warm water is a totally different experience, and with all the hype around it I embarked on a 12 month quest to see if it really was as miraculous as the trend says. I am pleased to report I am thoroughly converted, and here is why.

The ticking time bomb: cardiovascular diseases - Friends of Europe At the end of May, COVID-19 has taken the lives of 360,000 people worldwide and this number will rise for months to come.

Even in this modern era, outbreaks are nearly constant, though not every outbreak reaches pandemic level as COVID-19 has.

Coronavirus Pandemic: Ranking The Best, Worst Places to Be As Covid-19 has spread around the world, it’s challenged preconceptions about which places would best tackle the worst public health crisis in a generation. Advanced economies like the U.S. and U.K., ranked by various pre-2020 measures as being the most prepared for a pandemic, have been repeatedly overwhelmed by infections and face a return to costly lockdowns.
