Pop up the card tables and pull out the extra silverware because it is time to do Thanksgiving with the friends and family we missed last year. Right? Yes ... but even if your turkey day crew is completely vaccinated, you still need to remember that those most vulnerable — particularly people over 80 or the immunocompromised — are still at higher risk of severe COVID. Here's how to keep everyone safe.
The more we hear about long COVID, the more it's freaking a lot of us out. Fatigue, brain fog, difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing, joint and muscle pain, abdominal symptoms, headaches and anxiety or depression — eek! So what exactly is your risk of getting long COVID-19 if you become infected? And does being vaccinated change that?
Hosting Thanksgiving dinner can be stressful — to say the least. You're trying to baste the turkey (which looks like it won't be ready in time) while your uncle is telling you what's wrong with the world and your mom is fixing the mashed potatoes you thought turned out pretty well. If this kind of scenario sounds all too familiar to you, don't despair. Food writer Eric Kim is here to help turn your turkey day into a time you actually enjoy (seriously, it's possible).
Would you ever consider going to therapy with a friend? Two best friends who call themselves brothers were drifting apart, so they asked psychotherapist Esther Perel to help.
