In general, curly hair has a learning curve but once you get your styling methods down, you’ll be left with beautiful, bouncy curls – even when air-drying. “For curly hair, use a wide-tooth comb while hair is wet,” said Peverini. “Next, coat hair with a curl cream and twist your strands, alternating some forward and some backward into rope-like sections –– this will leave perfect curl formation.”The Best Way to Air-Dry Wavy Hair
Wavy hair is one of the easier hair types to air-dry because of your natural loose texture. “For wavy hair, you can use the rope-twist technique to enhance your wave, but twist hair in larger sections,” said Peverini. “Once dry, break the sections apart using a detangler comb and the results are soft waves.”The Best Way to Air-Dry Straight Hair
For straight hair, brush your hair out while still in the shower to remove any tangles before towel drying by scrunching hair upward. “Position your part and apply your favorite serum or mousse,” said Peverini. “As it begins to dry, shake the hair through the fingers lightly, but do not rake through. This will help give body to straight hair.”
Air-Drying Tip #1: Don’t Go to Sleep With Wet Hair
“It’s best to wash your hair a couple hours before bedtime, since you don’t want to go to bed with wet hair,” said Peverini. “This also saves time getting ready in the morning.” If you go to sleep with wet hair, you run the risk of sleeping on it which can lead to creases or flatness in the hair.
Air-Drying Tip #2: Use a Microfiber Towel
Your towel can be responsible for frizz if you’re not using the right material. “Use a microfiber towel to scrunch hair dry,” said Peverini.
Air-Drying Tip #3: Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase
No matter if you’re heat styling or air-drying your hair, a silk pillowcase can help eliminate frizz. When you sleep, you create friction by tossing and turning. The soft silk fabric allows hair to move without any tugging.
Air-Drying Tip #4: Create Volume With Clips
“If you want extra volume when air-drying, use a small hair claw at the top of the head while hair dries to give lift,” said Peverini. “These can also be placed around the head for more shape and root lift.
“Air-Drying Tip #5: If Hair Dries “Wrong,” You Can Fix It
If your hair air-dries with less than desirable results, you can have a do-over – without rewashing your entire head, that is. “Mist it with some water or a leave-in conditioner and then try to re-shape it,” said Peverini. Worst-case scenario, opt for a ponytail or messy bun.
We all know by now that coronavirus is incredibly contagious. And you’ve certainly heard the very important guidelines on how best to avoid the spread of COVID-19: 1) Wash your hands, 2) Avoid touching your face, 2) Maintain social distance, and 4) Keep your home surfaces clean and disinfect frequently. But which surfaces are most conducive for COVID-19, and therefore, most important to disinfect? If you’ve been wondering how long coronavirus can stay on plastic water bottles, cardboard boxes, and other household items you’re encountering every day, a brand-new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has the answers.
Scientists from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), UCLA, and Princeton University attempted to mimic the coronavirus being deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces (like through coughing or touching objects). Then they investigated how long the virus remained infectious on those surfaces. Here’s what they found.
1Plastic: Up to 3 days

Plastic surfaces are one of the most conducive for coronavirus. The study shows that the virus can live for up to 72 hours on plastic.
So any plastic surfaces you have in your home—cutting boards, shampoo bottles, kitchen utensils, etc.—should be your highest priority to keep clean.
2Stainless Steel: Up to 3 days
Shutterstock
What kitchen isn’t complete without stainless steel appliances? Unfortunately though, stainless steel surfaces are also very conducive to coronavirus, as the study shows that it can live for up to 72 hours on your refrigerator and dishwasher handles and stainless steel cookware as well.
3Cardboard: Up to 24 hours
Shutterstock
Those Amazon boxes laying around your garage and front door? Turns out they present a furtive place for coronavirus to exist. According to the study, coronavirus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours. That also means your paper towel and toilet paper rolls can contain the virus for the same amount of time.
4Copper: Up to 4 hours
Shutterstock
Copper is not the most common surface in one’s home, and fortunately, pennies are now mostly made from zinc. But how conducive is copper for coronavirus? Not very. The study shows that the virus can live on copper for up to four hours.
5The air: Up to 3 hours
Shutterstock
Of course, air is not a surface. But “aerosol” transmission of coronavirus has been something of a controversy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has claimed that “COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air.” But liquid particulates of COVID-19 do continue to live in the air for up to three hours, according to this study.
To lower the number on the scale, you’ve got to take in fewer calories than usual. But just because this seems like a simple formula doesn’t mean it’s an easy one to follow. Weight loss results can be thwarted by cutting too much in the calorie department, cutting too little, or simply not cutting in the right places. That’s why we talked to Jim White, RD, ACSM, and owner of Jim White Fitness Nutrition Studios to clear things up.
How to calculate how many calories you should eat to lose weight
Daily caloric needs are different for every person, so don’t expect your sweet spot to match your workout partner’s or your best friend’s.
It’s particular to you and you alone, and that’s because we all have our own Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). According to Healthline, this number can be found by using the Harris-Benedict formula. This formula is split by gender.
Women: 655 + (9.6 × weight in kg) + (1.8 × height in cm) – (4.7 × age in years)
Men: 66 + (13.7 × weight in kg) + (5 × height in cm) – (6.8 × age in years)
For even more accuracy, you should multiply your BMR by another number that’s based on your activity level. So multiply by:
1.2 if you are sedentary (little to no exercise)
1.375 if you’re lightly active (exercise 1-3 days a week)
1.55 if you are moderately active (exercise 3-5 days a week)
1.725 if you are regularly active (exercise 6-7 days a week)
How many calories do you need to cut to lose weight?
Depending on where you fall in there, White says you could lose one pound of body fat a week if you subtract 500 calories per day (or 3,500 calories per week) from this number.
For example, if you’re a woman whose BMR is 1,500 and you’re moderately active, that’s 2,325 calories a day. To drop a digit on the scale, you’ll need to subtract 500 calories from that total amount, as White suggests. This means eating 1,825 calories a day.
But that doesn’t mean you should be chugging sodas and eating brownies on the reg as long as you fall under this calorie ceiling. All calories are not made equal, and a study in JAMA found that people who ate a low-carb diet lost more weight than those who ate the same calories on a low-fat diet. So, consider eating more healthy fats and make sure the calories you consume aren’t just adding up to your weekly goal, but doing your body favors in other ways.
Could you eat too few calories to lose weight?
Be careful never to let your calories drop below 8,400 calories a week, though. This is the equivalent of only 1,200 calories a day and, according to White, this can have the opposite effect on your weight.
“When you’re not eating enough calories, your metabolism can slow down, you don’t have enough energy for workouts, and you’re more likely to binge eat,” he says, something he refers to as starvation mode.
A study published in Psychosomatic Medicine only drills this in further because in the study, people following severe low-calorie diets didn’t lose long-term weight because their body produced excess cortisol, a hormone that signals your body to store fat, especially in the abdomen.
Don’t let your diet backfire like that; be mindful and follow the BMR guidelines that help you with the proper calorie amount to eat every day.
Easter is a time when we come together to celebrate family, friendship, and faith. And no matter what the Easter Bunny brings, you can always treasure the memories you and your loved ones make on this special holiday. From gathering around the table to catch up with everyone to discovering who in the family is best at Easter egg art, there are so many opportunities to cherish the day.
This year, make Easter Sunday extra special by taking part in a few festive Easter games that go beyond the traditional Easter egg hunt. Some of these Easter games take a few hours to set up, while others you can play on a whim. The best part? Anyone from toddlers to grandparents can join in the fun.
The Easter Egg Toss Game

Though this is one of the simplest Easter games, it’s also a ton of fun. To prep, fill plastic Easter eggs with confetti, or, if you’re willing to play outside, water. Have players pair up and toss the eggs back and forth. If a duo drops their egg, they’re out. The last pair standing wins.
The best part about this game is that it can be adapted to any number of players (as long as you’ve got an even number) and works great for ages three and up. Just make sure that players stand closer together if there are younger kids partaking in the holiday fun. Afterward, you can watch one of these classic Easter movies.
The Egg Commands Game
Shutterstock
Here’s an Easter game that will have everyone laughing by the end. Before your party, write a few funny commands on slips of paper, i.e., “Hop like a bunny 10 times,” “Name five things you might find in an Easter basket,” or “Take all of the remaining eggs out of your basket one by one and then put them back.” Put each slip of paper inside a plastic egg, and divide the eggs evenly into two baskets.
To play, split your group into two teams and have them line up across the room (or yard) from the baskets. On the count of three, the first person on each team runs up to the basket, selects an egg, and performs the action inside that egg. Once they’ve completed the action, they run back and tap the next team member. The first team to finish their basket wins. You’ll want to have anywhere from six to twelve players, ages seven and up.
The Pile of Peeps Game
Shutterstock
This Easter game is just like Jenga, only with Peeps! To play, place a coaster in the middle of your table and put a Peep on it. (Make sure you buy the flat bunny Peeps, not the lumpy chick ones). Players take turns adding Peeps to the pile until the pile falls over. And, of course, the person who causes that to happen is out.
The Spoon and Egg Race
Shutterstock
No list of Easter games would be complete without this picnic classic. Each player places a hard-boiled egg on a spoon and holds it in their mouth. On the count of three, each player races to the finish line, trying to keep the egg balanced. The first person to make it to the finish line with their egg still intact wins. This is a great way to utilize all those eggs you dyed!
The Jellybean Scoop Game
Shutterstock
Jelly beans are the MVP of Easter candies, and they are perfect for playing all sorts of Easter games. For this game, each player gets one empty bowl, one bowl filled with jelly beans, and one spoon. The challenge: Put the spoon in your mouth and use it to move all of the jelly beans from the jelly bean bowl to the empty bowl. The first person to do that wins. (Of course, in the end, everyone gets to eat them.) This game can be played with kids ages four and up, in any size group (while jelly beans last).
Bocce Eggs
Shutterstock
This is a fun Easter twist on bocce ball that you can easily create at home. To prep, hard boil some eggs—you’ll need four for each player, plus one extra. (You can also use a set of wooden eggs from the craft store). Keep one of the eggs white and dye the others in colored sets of four. Roll (or toss) the white egg onto the lawn, and take turns rolling the colored eggs to see who can get the closest to the white egg without touching it.
The Easter Egg Puzzle Hunt
Shutterstock
This is an exciting twist on the classic Easter egg hunt. To play, buy an easy (this is key!) Easter-themed puzzle and some plastic eggs. Place one piece of the puzzle in each egg and hide them around the house or yard. Everyone searches for the eggs and puts the puzzle together as they find each piece. This game is great for kids ages seven and up.
The Carrot in the Basket Game
Shutterstock
Of course, every Easter Bunny needs a ton of carrots. But all you need for this cute game is two big Easter baskets and a pile of carrots. Divide your group into two teams and have them toss the carrots into the baskets. Whichever team gets the most carrots in their basket wins. This is one of those Easter games that’s great for younger kids, ages one to five.
The Bunny Nose Race
Shutterstock
This little game will get everyone in the family giggling. Each player gets a bowl full of cotton balls (or bunny tails, if you will). Everyone puts a small amount of Vaseline on their nose and tries to move the cotton balls out of their bowl with just their nose. Whoever moves all of the cotton balls out of the bowl first wins. For larger groups, you can split into teams and do it relay style. This Easter game is best for ages six and up, and works for any size group—just make sure you buy enough cotton balls!
Bunny Bowling
Shutterstock
It’s actually pretty easy to turn a regular set of toy bowling pins into bunny bowling pins (like these, by Handmade Charlotte). Set them up in your yard and see who can knock down the most. For an extra Easter twist, you could use dyed hard-boiled eggs instead of a plastic ball. The game is perfect for kids ages six and up and works wonderfully with groups of two to ten players.
Pin the Tail on the Easter Bunny
Shutterstock
This party classic is perfect for any Easter gathering. To play, hang a paper bunny on the wall. Players take turns being blindfolded and trying to pin the bunny tail on the Easter Bunny’s rump. You can buy a Pin the Tail on the Easter Bunny set, or, if you’re feeling creative, you can draw one of your own!
The Chalk Bunny Hop Game
Shutterstock
Here’s a great way to get everyone moving and grooving outside. Use a picture of a bunny and a piece of cardboard to make a chalk bunny template. Use sidewalk chalk and your template to draw a few bunnies all around your driveway or another safe concrete area. Start by having everyone hop from bunny to bunny. Then have everyone dance from bunny to bunny. Then have everyone skip from bunny to bunny. Take suggestions from the kids for more movement ideas—and don’t forget to put on some fun tunes to make this game even more exciting.
The Easter Egg Matching Game
Shutterstock
If you want your Easter games to be educational, this one is a winner. Take some plastic eggs and use a Sharpie to write uppercase letters on one half, and the corresponding lowercase letters on the other half. Twist the eggs to mix them up, and challenge your kiddos to match the letters together. It’s the perfect game for any youngster still learning their letters. The Alphabet Easter Egg Game is recommended for ages four to six and can be played with groups of one to five kids.
The Easter Egg Tower Game
Shutterstock
Once your Easter egg hunt is over, chances are you’ll have a bunch of empty plastic eggs leftover. That’s the perfect opportunity to have an Easter egg tower-building contest! Stack egg halves on top of each other, and see who can build the tallest tower without it falling down.
The Don’t Eat the Peep Game
Shutterstock
This printable game is easy as pie to set up. Print out the game boards and distribute them to players. Give each player a little bowl filled with jellybeans, cereal, or some other type of candy. Everyone puts one piece on each square of the board. One person is “it” and leaves the room. The remaining players decide which square is “the Peep.” Once that’s decided, the player who’s “it” comes back into the room; their job is to find “the Peep” by eating pieces of candy one square at a time. If they eat the piece of candy on the Peep square, everyone else yells “Don’t eat the Peep!” This is a great game for younger kids (ages three to seven) who will think yelling “Don’t eat the Peep!” is hilarious.
Bunny Bunny
Shutterstock
This is a classic improv game that is perfectly on brand for Easter. Have everyone form a circle. Each player pats their hands on their laps to a moderate beat, while saying “oomba” together. Then, on the beat, the first “leader” (select this person in advance) makes bunny ears with their fingers and points them toward themselves twice, and then (making eye contact) they point their bunny fingers toward another player, while saying “Bunny, bunny. Bunny, bunny.”
That player then becomes the leader, and repeats the motion, passing to another player. Once you’ve got the hang of passing the bunny fingers around the circle, add on a new twist. When the bunny fingers are passed to a new leader, the people on either side of the leader wave their hands and say “tokey tokey” along with them. Watch a video of the game being played to get the hang of it quickly. This game is best played in groups of four or more.
The Jelly Bean Guessing Game
Shutterstock
The jelly bean guess is one of the most popular Easter games out there, and there’s a reason why: Everyone loves it! Before the party starts, fill a mason jar with jelly beans. As your guests arrive, have them guess how many jelly beans are in the jar. The person whose guess is the closest wins the jar.
The Chubby Bunny Game
Shutterstock
Chubby Bunny is a classic (and the perfect excuse to eat more Peeps!). Each round, every player puts a Peep into their mouth and says “Chubby Bunny.” Once you’ve got so many marshmallows in your mouth that you can’t say “Chubby Bunny” articulately or with a straight face, you’re out. The last person standing wins.
You’ll want to make sure all your players are old enough to understand the concept of a choking hazard. Aside from that, this is one of those Easter games where you can have as many players as you’d like!
The Classic Egg Tapping Easter Game
Shutterstock
Egg tapping—or egg fight as some call it—is a classic Easter game tradition that dates back centuries. And fortunately, this Easter game is pretty simple. All you need to play is two hard-boiled eggs. One person holds an egg in their hand while the other player taps their egg against it, hoping to break their opponent’s egg without breaking their own. The first person to have their egg cracked loses. This game can be extended by having the winner continue to challenge new opponents—and the last one standing with an uncracked egg after everyone has been challenged wins.
The Paint-Filled Eggs on Canvas Activity
Shutterstock
This Easter game is less of a challenge and more about just having fun. You’ll need empty eggshells with the tops cut off so you can fill them with various colors of paint. Go for Easter pastels or vibrant colors—it’s your choice! Once you have your eggs filled, put tissue paper squares over each eggshell and use glue to carefully secure them, making sure they’re completely dry. After that, all you need is to go outside and start letting the little ones throw the paint-filled eggs at some blank canvases. It’s fun to do, and you’ll get some amazing pieces of art out of it!
The Egg Rolling Game
Shutterstock
An Easter twist on the classic horse race, this game is simple to execute, but still fun for the whole family. All you need is some kind of incline and a few hard-boiled eggs. Each person stands at the top of the incline and rolls their eggs down all at once. The first person to have their egg reach the bottom is the winner. The steeper the hill, the more entertaining.
The Swinging Basket Game
Shutterstock
This is another one of those Easter games that is all about aim and hand-eye coordination—a challenge the bigger kids will certainly enjoy. All you need is some rope, a basket, plastic Easter eggs, popcorn kernels, and tape. Fill your plastic eggs with popcorn kernels and tape them shut to give them a little weight. Then, after you hang your basket from a tree branch, line the children up and have them take turns trying to throw eggs into the basket. Once the kids get a hang of it, take up the difficulty by swinging the basket back and forth while they try to throw their eggs in.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a seemingly endless list of tips to follow to stay safe, but there are just as many mistruths and myths about coronavirus out there. Washing one’s hands and limiting contact with as many people as possible (AKA social distancing) are still the best ways to both stay healthy and not spread the virus. But a stubborn amount of misinformation is spreading just as fast as COVID-19 itself.
To help you stay educated, the World Health Organization (WHO) and numerous other reputable medical institutions, such as Johns Hopkins Medicine, are debunking the myths surrounding COVID-19. Here are the 15 biggest ones you need to stop believing.
1Myth: There’s a coronavirus vaccine out there.

There is no vaccine for the coronavirus currently available. According to the experts at Johns Hopkins: “There is no vaccine for the new coronavirus right now. Scientists have already begun working on one but developing a vaccine that is safe and effective in human beings will take many months.”
“The first thing you’ve got to do is make sure it’s safe. When you find out it’s safe and that it induces the kind of response you want it to, then you do it in a lot of people,” Fauci said. “The first trial is, like, 45 people. Then you go into hundreds, if not thousands, of people. That’s what takes the extra eight months… If we really push, we hope that we will know by the time we get into next winter whether or not we have something that works.”
2Myth: COVID-19 was deliberately created and released by people.
Shutterstock
As those at Johns Hopkins plainly state, this myth is 100-percent false. “Viruses can change over time,” the experts continue. “Occasionally, a disease outbreak happens when a virus that is common in an animal such as a pig, bat, or bird undergoes changes and passes to humans. This is likely how the new coronavirus came to be.”
3Myth: If you can hold your breath for 10 seconds, you don’t have coronavirus.
Shutterstock
Despite what you may have seen on social media, being able to hold your breath for 10 seconds or more without coughing or feeling discomfort does not mean you don’t have COVID-19 or any other lung disease.
According to WHO, “The best way to confirm if you have the virus producing COVID-19 disease is with a laboratory test. You cannot confirm it with this breathing exercise, which can even be dangerous.”
4Myth: Ordering products from China could give you COVID-19.

COVID-19 is mainly spread through liquid droplets. So while it’s technically possible that a product ordered from China could house a virus-infected bit of liquid, the odds of that happening are almost impossible.
“I don’t think we need to get completely obsessed about packages that come in, because those types of surfaces… the virus might live there for a very short time,” Fauci told Trevor Noah on the Mar. 26 episode of Noah’s at-home The Daily Show. “But people say, ‘Should I get a package from a grocery store that says, “Made in China”?’ I wouldn’t worry about that. That’s not the issue.”
5Myth: A change in temperature can kill coronavirus.

According to WHO, “There is no reason to believe that cold weather can kill the new coronavirus or other diseases.” And they also note, “you can catch COVID-19, no matter how sunny or hot the weather is.”
“The virology of COVID-19 does not diminish in warm temperatures,” Rocio Salas-Whalen, MD, of New York Endocrinology previously told Best Life. “Although the virus may have a seasonal cycle, it is not reasonable to expect a huge decline in transmission due to warmer weather alone. We see the largest decrease in infections when people refrain from being in locations with poor ventilation and/or large crowds.”
6Myth: Taking a hot bath will protect you against coronavirus.

There may be relaxing benefits to a hot bath, but it won’t keep you from contracting coronavirus. “Taking a hot bath will not prevent you from catching COVID-19,” WHO asserts. “Your normal body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the temperature of your bath or shower.”
7Myth: Mosquitoes can pass coronavirus from person to person.
Shutterstock
There is no evidence to suggest that coronavirus can spread via mosquitoes, according to WHO. “The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose,” the experts note.
8Myth: Bleach, silver solution, and garlic can protect you from coronavirus.
Shutterstock
There are a ton of scams that have arisen in the past few weeks, leading to a flurry of complaints from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There have been false claims that drinkable silver, gargling with bleach, and garlic soup can help you avoid COVID-19. Long story short, if something sounds too good to be true, then it almost certainly is. Washing your hands and limiting contact with others are still the best ways to avoid getting sick.
9Myth: Drinking alcohol can prevent you from contracting COVID-19.

Some people believe that drinking alcohol will prevent them from contracting coronavirus—so many, in fact, that WHO had to address it and debunk the myth.
It turns out, the opposite is actually true. Paul Sasha Nestadt, MD, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Anxiety Disorders Clinic, told Global Health Now, “There are risk factors with isolation, the lack of a schedule, and if alcohol is just there in the house with you. People with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are also at higher risk when stressed.”
10Myth: Aiming a blow dryer up your nose can cure you of coronavirus.
Shutterstock
There are some people who believe that aiming a hairdryer up your nose will cure you from COVID-19. In fact, Florida politician Bryant Culpepper went so far as to brag about his background as a paramedic as he publicly promoted this “cure” that he saw “one of the foremost doctors who has studied the coronavirus” reveal on cable TV. The belief is that the hot air travels up into your nostrils and kills the contagion. But, as you likely already assumed, this “cure” is just a bunch of hot hair. Hairdryers are good for drying hair, not curing or preventing coronavirus.
11Myth: Hand dryers kill COVID-19.
Shutterstock
Just like hairdryers don’t kill COVID-19, hand dryers don’t either. WHO plainly states: “Hand dryers are not effective in killing the 2019-nCoV.” Washing your hands regularly, however, is a definite must. And if you want to know how to wash your hands effectively, check out The Best Way to Wash Your Hands to Prevent Getting Sick.
12Myth: Drinking lots of water will help you avoid COVID-19.
Shutterstock
Drinking lots of water through the course of the day is good for you, but will it help you avoid coronavirus? Nope. A frequently shared meme on Facebook, Twitter, and on text cites an unnamed Japanese doctor who claims drinking water every 15 minutes washes any virus down the esophagus so it can’t get into your lungs. Turns out, this isn’t true at all. Sure, it’s good to hydrate, but it won’t keep the COVID-19 contagion away.
13Myth: Essential oils and herbal supplements are effective ways to fight coronavirus.
Shutterstock
Nope, essential oils do not prevent coronavirus either. But that hasn’t stopped a few companies from trying to sell their products as such. The FDA called out Idaho-based company Herbal Amy for selling “unapproved and misbranded products related to coronavirus disease.” Whether it’s traditional Chinese herbs or CBD/hemp related supplements, there is currently zero evidence that herb consumption will do anything to fight or cure COVID-19
14Myth: UV disinfection lamps can kill coronavirus.
Shutterstock
Again, WHO warns, this is yet another coronavirus myth. “UV lamps should not be used to sterilize hands or other areas of skin as UV radiation can cause skin irritation,” they note.
15Myth: Malaria drugs can cure COVID-19.
Shutterstock
“To date, there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the new coronavirus,” WHO says plainly. Sadly, a man in his 60s in Arizona died after self-medicating with chloroquine phosphate in an apparent attempt to cure himself from the novel coronavirus. He and his wife reportedly ingested the household chemical, which is commonly used to clean fish tanks, in late March amid reports that hydroxychloroquine—which is approved by the FDA for treating malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis—can cure coronavirus.
Responding to the incident, Daniel Brooks, MD, Banner Poison and Drug Information Center medical director, said in a statement, “We understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus. But self-medicating is not the way to do so.”
Similarly, Fauci told Noah that “there is no proven, safe, and effective direct therapy for coronavirus disease.” And though some clinical trials are underway, it’ll be months before anything is proven.
