Stanford Holds Conference to ‘Repair Rifts,’ Reflect on Pandemic Policy and COVID Origins

"I covered the CDC for nearly 20 years. When I first went down to the CDC in the 1990s I used to just fly to Atlanta and I could wander around the CDC, knock on doors, talk to anybody I wanted to know," Gardiner Harris, a senior New York Times reporter, said.

Let's begin.

Some People Outgrow Their Allergies, While Others Get Worse
Allergies can be unpredictable. While many children outgrow allergies to peanuts and eggs by age six, others may find their conditions worsen over time. Factors such as genetics and environmental influences play roles in this variability. Explore what influences allergy persistence and gain insights into managing this common health issue effectively.

Single-Leg Floor Touch
This exercise is great for strengthening your leg and back muscles while improving your balance.

Step 1: Stand with your feet side by side and slightly apart and your arms by your sides. You can stand close to a wall or counter to provide support as you balance.
Step 2: Bend at the hips and slowly reach down to touch the floor with one hand while lifting your leg on the same side straight out behind you. Be sure to keep your back straight. Take 1 to 2 seconds to reach down and about 1 to 2 seconds to stand back up.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Aim for 15 repetitions per leg for each set, and try to do 3 sets.

You can perform this exercise on one side at a time or alternate between sides, depending on which feels best. Be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. If balancing during this exercise seems particularly challenging, rest assured that it is. Keep at it, and you will master it.
