Winter. Ugh.
Feeling “blah”? Same. It’s like winter shows up, dumps a bunch of cold air and grey skies on us, and says, “Good luck with that.” Rude. Suddenly, you’re daydreaming about sunshine and flip-flops like it’s your job.
And yeah, the lack of sunlight? Totally messing with your vibe. More time indoors? Not helping. Winter seems to stretch out forever, like the world’s longest elevator ride with lousy music. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to win. Seriously.
There are ways to fight back — strategies, hacks, even a little seasonal rebellion. Think of them as your winter sur ..read more

Each year, the cold and flu season brings extra germs and increased health risks. The flu, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases can spread quickly, especially in workplaces where people share spaces and interact closely.
The numbers show the impact: each year in the U.S., millions of people fall ill from the flu, with hundreds of thousands requiring hospitalization and tens of thousands, tragically, losing their lives. During the 2023-2024 flu season, the CDC estimated at least 34 million flu illnesses, 380,000 hospitalizations, and 17,000 deaths, including 199 pediatric deaths. COVID-19 ..read more

On the one hand, we’ve heard about viruses like MERS, Ebola, and Zika over the years — scary-sounding illnesses that didn’t end up having a big impact in the U.S. But then there’s another side of the coin: the Covid pandemic, which showed us how quickly a virus can change everything.
