The COVID-19 pandemic is causing an unprecedented attack on air travel around the world, leaving airports, airlines and travelers exposed to a period of uncertainty that is difficult to prepare for.

People are worried about vacationing this year. For those of us over 60 years old, we've been warned to stay away from cruises, international travel, most airplane flights, and crowds.

Patrick Gleeson Education

Like everyone these past few weeks, I've watched the rapid worldwide spread of the coronavirus with alarm. But the emphasis in the media so far has largely concentrated on lives lost and political missteps — both of them significant and disturbing subjects.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has hit the world with a left hook that packs 100 times the power of the greatest heavyweight boxing champion. On the evening of March 11, the NBA suspended its season.

New study reports on incubation period of COVID-19

Dorothy L. Tengler Medical & Allied Healthcare

A new study on COVID-19, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, estimates 5.1 days for incubation period and suggests that about 97.5% of people who develop symptoms of infection will do so within 11.5 days of exposure. The researchers estimated that for every 10,000 individuals quarantined for 14 days, only about 101 would develop symptoms after being released from quarantine. These estimates imply that, under conservative assumptions, in 101 out of every 10,000 cases, people will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine.

Die daily and live better

Lisa Cole Mental Healthcare

Little did I know then that this horrific car accident would set the trajectory for the rest of my life. My career and life have been informed by death. And this is what I have learned.
