Story
Army combat veteran and registered nurse Erin Olszewski's most deeply held values were put to the test when she arrived as a travel nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. After serving in Iraq, she was back on the front lines - and this time, she found, the situation was even worse. Rooms were filthy, nurses were lax with sanitation measures, and hospital-acquired cases of COVID-19 were spreading like wildfire.

Story
It can come in waves - like tidal waves. It changes societies. It disrupts life. It ends lives. As far back as 3000 B.C.E. (the Bronze Age), plagues have stricken mankind. COVID-19 is just the latest example, but history shows that life continues. It shows that knowledge and social cooperation can save lives. Viruses are neither alive nor dead and are the closest thing we have to zombies. Their only known function is to replicate themselves, which can have devastating consequences on their hosts.

Story
El órgano más importante del cuerpo humano tendría que ser el órgano que controla todos los demás órganos, ¿no? Sin embargo, no es el cerebro, ya que el cerebro mismo está bajo el control de tu mente. Piensa en el cerebro como el director de operaciones y en la mente como el director ejecutivo. Sí, tu cerebro está dando las instrucciones, pero nuestro cerebro nunca va en contra de lo que dice la mente. Por defecto, la mente, por lo tanto, controla todo el cuerpo humano.
