Ginger could play a critical role in controlling inflammation for people living with autoimmune diseases, according to a new study.

Thirty percent of respondents said they believe the pandemic is getting worse — up from 5% in late May/early June and 8% in February, according to a news release on Gallup’s website. FREE COVID TESTS WILL AGAIN BE AVAILABLE FROM US GOVERNMENT STARTING NEXT WEEK Although Gallup noted that this is the "highest rate of pessimism" since July 2022, it is far more positive than in 2020, when up to 73% of Americans said the pandemic was getting worse.
