While viruses like the flu, RSV and COVID can impact people anytime, most people associate these viruses with colder and winter months – and while winter may be loosening its grip – these viruses are not.

Who is most vulnerable to respiratory illnesses?

Immunocompromised people. You qualify as “immunocompromised” if you have an illness that weakens your immune system, such as cancer, an autoimmune disease, or have had an organ transplant. You may also qualify if your immune system works well. but are being treated for another condition suppresses your immune response.

We all know someone who is immunocompromised and for these people, COVID can be deadly.

Approximately 3% of the U.S adult population is considered immunocompromised and are more susceptible to severe outcomes and complications of infectious disease.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself against respiratory infections includes:

Vaccines are the recommended approach

However, vaccines are shown to leave immunocompromised people exposed and need extra protection

Talk to your doctor about a COVID protection approach

Cover your cough or sneeze

On Thursday, February 27th, Dr. Amesh Adalja, Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, will be available to discuss the peaking of the respiratory illness season and how everyone can protect themselves. He’ll also discuss protecting immunocompromised people from COVID-19.

So, what steps can you be taking?

Avoid people who are sick

Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing

Wash your hands

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth

Disinfect frequently touched surfaces

Above all, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend getting vaccinated every year against the flu, but did you know that there are several types of flu vaccines to choose from? Better yet, there is a needle-free nasal spray flu vaccine available to eligible patients 2-49 years of age.

Dr. Ravi Jhaveri, Division Head, Infectious Disease; Virginia H. Rogers Professor in Infectious Diseases and Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases), Northwestern University School of Medicine, will be available to discuss ways to prepare for this year’s flu season including the various types of flu vaccines available.

For the kind of person who has spent the past few years increasingly alarmed about climate, it might be strange to think of anything as looming larger than warming, which in recent decades has seemed to subsume not only all other ecological crises in the collective cultural imagination but also the existential fate of the species and the planet. The United Nations’ 15th international biodiversity conference just concluded in Montreal, and it received only a fraction of the press coverage lavished on the COP27 climate conference recently held in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. That imbalance may seem intuitive, given one of the core principles of climate action in the post-Paris-agreement era: that decarbonization should be the environmental goal above all others, and might even offer a silver bullet to solve (or at least alleviate) all sorts of other problems, from mass extinction and insect collapse to air pollution and global inequality.

For the cause of climate, this notion has been an undeniable boon, growing the movement by somewhat sidelining legacy concerns about conservation and forging alliances instead with forces that embrace technology, development and even “eco-modernism.” These years have also seen the rise of “degrowth,” and in recent intramural fights over permitting reform, climate centrists have argued that one major roadblock is sentimental old-guard activism, which amounts to a kind of climate NIMBYism. But in the long sweep of environmentalist history, the opposite story is more striking: “green” groups growing less attached to the natural world for its own sake and more invested in efforts to limit temperature rise for the sake of human flourishing.

One result has been genuine climate progress, and a rising hope that decarbonization, while still too slow, might unfold fast enough to at least avoid worst-case climate outcomes. But another is that the principles that gave rise to modern environmentalism 50 years ago are much less central to what goes by the name today: “Climate” has displaced “nature” as the primary locus of activist concern, pushing biodiversity somewhat farther from the policy center as well and affirming that the two causes are related but distinct. Among other things, this suggests the possibility that, however vital the work of cutting emissions, “addressing climate change will not ‘save the planet’” — as a headline of a recent piece in The Intercept, by Christopher Ketcham, put it.

That’s not because decarbonization requires catastrophic environmental harm. Though radically new infrastructure is necessary — new power lines, new building codes, new transportation systems — much of it would supplement or replace what exists today. While there are big questions about how to carry out the mining that will be necessary to produce a global green-energy boom, it would contribute only a modest increase to today’s mining sector and could even decrease overall mining.

The problem is that warming is just one of the many ways that human civilization is stripping the planet of its biological complexity. In fact, last December, in a commentary published in Conservation Letters, a group of biologists called climate change a “myopic lens” through which to view the biological decline of the planet and called warming far from “the most important horseman of the biodiversity apocalypse” — indeed more of a “mule,” powerful but slow. “The current perception that climate change is the principal threat to biodiversity is at best premature,” the authors wrote. “Although highly relevant, it detracts focus and effort from the primary threats: habitat destruction and overexploitation.”

Because we all live in the world as it is today, regarding both its dimly remembered past and its uncertain future from the relatively stable-seeming vantage of the present, it can be hard to understand the scope of even recent loss. But according to the World Wildlife Fund’s Living Planet Report, which looks at studies of some 32,000 species worldwide, vertebrate populations have declined on average by 69 percent since just 1970; since I was born in 1982, the decline has been more than 50 percent. In some ecosystems, the collapse of vertebrates has been even more drastic: In Latin America and the Caribbean, for instance, the studied populations have fallen on average by 94 percent since 1970, while among freshwater species that live in the world’s rivers and lakes, the estimated decline has been 83 percent.

As many as a million animal and plant species currently face the threat of extinction, according to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (I.P.B.E.S.), a figure that translates to about 13 percent of bird species, 25 percent of mammals and 31 percent of sharks and rays. Insects are dying off, too — possibly more than 50 percent of them since 1970.

And while there are some success stories and local marks of ecological progress, today even the low estimates of global extinction rates suggest that overall, those rates are 100 times higher than would be expected without human activity; the less conservative estimates suggest extinction is happening thousands of times faster. Already 62 percent of global mammal biomass is livestock — animals raised by humans for our consumption. Four percent is wild. Taken together, humans and their food represent 96 percent of all mammal life on Earth.

One recent paper, published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, suggests that only 3 percent of global ecosystems remain intact. Other global tabulations are less bleak, but not by much. According to the I.P.B.E.S. — think of it as the biodiversity equivalent of the climate-change I.P.C.C. body — three-quarters of all land environments have been degraded by human activity and about two-thirds of all marine environments have. And while climate skeptics have spent a lot of energy arguing that warming is actually “greening” the world because CO₂ is plant food, a wide-ranging new study found the opposite: The planet as a whole, which was most likely greening just a few decades ago, is now probably browning instead.

Almost certainly, all this will get somewhat worse before it gets even somewhat better. The needs of the energy transition are significant, if not world-breaking, as are the growth demands of the world’s billion poorest. There are signs of progress on “decoupling” growth from both carbon and resource intensity, but the gains to this point have been only relative. And while there are signs of policy progress on conservation as well, including a growing awareness among the world’s leading policymakers of the importance of protecting the world’s ecological patrimony, the predominant mood in Montreal was lament: that a dozen years after some less-ambitious biodiversity targets were set for 2020, none of them have been met.

We’ve been here before, with climate, before the Paris agreement — an imperfect protocol, which has rallied the world’s governments to the task of decarbonization. Those accords didn’t just point toward a new policy consensus; they helped usher in a cultural transformation as well, because among the things that the new generation’s climate alarm has produced is a far more widespread understanding that warming risks devastation to humans and human society, not just animals and ecosystems.

There does not seem to be a similar shift coming for biodiversity, whose story remains largely the one we know already from “Silent Spring” to “The Lorax,” from “The Sixth Extinction” to “The End of Nature.” Even the most ambitious proposals — preserving 30 percent of the planet’s surface, protecting the Amazon from further deforestation — seem to point to a future defined as much by normalization as by conservation. We may well look around at that denuded world a generation from now and blithely conclude that “everything is fine.” But we’ll still probably marvel in wondrous disbelief that the planet was ever as full of life as it was in 2023.

United Voices 4 Peace,
Veronica Sabbag, Founder & Chair submitted this story. They launched their first virtual event and digital program in December 2020, during the Covid Pandemic.

The program consisted of a series of documentary screenings, concerts and interviews aimed to address the current systemic social inequalities, with a special focus on gender, age and religion-based discrimination.

It also adressed the topic of the Holocaust and the fight against antisemitism, echoing the voice of a funny, endearing and engaging protagonist, Inge Ginsberg.

Inge, Holocaust survivor, whose life story is detailed in a short documentary film created by Leah Galant for nytimes, https://youtu.be/mQZ_7C2oaLM , found an unlikely avenue to raise her voice through heavy metal music in her 90’s – against all odds – in a way that allowed engagement of younger generations.

She was able to flee Austria and survive life in a refugee camp in Switzerland. After the war, she moved to Hollywood, California and built a new life as a composer for Nat King Cole, Doris Day and others.

In an assertion of her presence on earth, she started a heavy metal band at the age of 93. Inge & the TritoneKings, had major TV appearances, made the front page in newspapers across the globe. She caught the eye and ear of the metal world after her appearance on Switzerland’s Got Talent and in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The first documentary screening and live concert of this series was streamed from Barcelona on December 17th, in partnership with Manhattan Camerata, Amics UNESCO Bcn, Mozaika BCN & LICRA. This first event featured the “Death Metal Grandma” documentary, followed by a live concert performed by her versatil band. Coinciding with Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, it brought an impactful message of peace, hope, union and inclusiveness, creating a fertile ground for social change. Watch here: https://www.facebook.com/UV4Peace/videos/298226618274630/

Once more, the metal world was captivated by her journey. Read https://www.themetalcircus.com/reportajes/death-metal-grandma-inge-ginsberg/

The event was preceded by a pre-screening session at Amics de la Unesco also in Barcelona : https://youtu.be/pMON-7fkvK8

This never before disclosed video, showcasing the 99 years old DMG was recorded in May 2021, on the occasion of UV4PEACE Founder & Chair, Veronica Sabbag’s visit to a care home in Zurich.

It served as the basis of a later Zoom virtual session on June 5th, in the context of “the Voice of the Silence” – Samantha Rodriguez and “Diario Judio de Mexico” – Isaac Ajzen, missions to raise awareness on the Holocaust. https://www.facebook.com/thevoiceofthesilenceproject/videos/870387663576049/

Veronica promised Inge she will visit her as soon as the Covid pandemic restrictions would be lifted. This visit and interview was an attempt to immortilize her legacy. At the end her visit Inge promised to visit Veronica in Barcelona. She passed a month later.

A new documentary screening took place in New York, on January 27th at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in Soho. Inge, would have been 100 years on that date, coinciding with the Holocaust Remembrance Day.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZRJUXelU4a/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZiliaVODQA/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

To honor her memory and continue her legacy, UV4PEACE dropped on that occasion a 5-piece “Death Metal Grandma NFT Collection” in OpenSea : https://opensea.io/collection/deathmetalgrandma, in partnership with Tritoneking & ManhattanCamerata.

“The Nazis said that their Third Reich would last 1000 years. It didn’t. But Inge lived to 99. Now she will live forever in the blockchain. There is no tribute more fitting for such an inspiring and modern woman. It’s poetic justice”.

Current research suggests that a reduction in breast cancer screenings at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to fewer early-stage and more late-stage breast cancer diagnoses in 2020 (latest statistics available) than in 2019, according to a study published by the journal JAMA Network Open.3

Many people experienced delayed or cancelled mammograms because of the pandemic, and these disruptions may have contributed to later-stage breast cancer diagnoses, when the disease is more difficult to treat.3,4

While mammography screenings rebounded overall by July 2020, the cumulative deficit of missed mammograms may have important public health consequences,5 including the furthering of health disparities.6

Since 2021, breast cancer diagnoses have exceeded lung cancer diagnoses, becoming the most diagnosed cancer worldwide.7,8

In the United States, it is estimated that about 287,850 women in 2022 will be diagnosed with breast cancer.9 Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., and this year it’s estimated that about 30% of all newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancers.10

For those facing a breast cancer diagnosis, the treatment that follows can be challenging and time consuming. Additionally, the type of breast cancer a patient has — including triple negative, HER2+ or HR+ — impacts the type of treatment they’ll receive.

Dr. Ahmed Elkhanany, a breast cancer expert at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will discuss the latest news surrounding delays in breast cancer screenings and some of the recent treatment options. A patient share her experience too.

This year’s International Day of Peace comes at a crisis point for humanity.

COVID-19 has turned our world upside-down.

Conflicts are spinning out of control.

The climate emergency is worsening.

Inequality and poverty are deepening.

And mistrust and division are driving people apart at a time when solidarity and collaboration are needed more than ever.

As a human family, we face a stark choice —

Peace or perpetual peril.

We must choose peace.

That is why I call for a 24-hour ceasefire today.

And by working in solidarity for a lasting, sustainable peace every day, we can tackle the issues facing us.

We need peace to urgently deliver lifesaving vaccines and treatment for COVID-19.

We need peace to recover from the pandemic and re-build shattered systems and shattered lives.

We need peace to level the playing field and reduce inequalities.

We need peace to renew trust in one another — and faith in facts and science.

And we need to make peace with nature — to heal our planet, build a green economy, and achieve our net-zero targets.

Peace is not a naïve dream.

It’s a light in the darkness.

Guiding us to the only pathway to a better future for humanity.

Let’s walk the pathway of peace as if our lives depended on it.

Because they do.

Thank you.
