March 11, 2020. That’s a day for the history books. On that date, the World
Health Organization (WHO) gave the spread of the coronavirus a new title
— pandemic. So, we have now been living in a pandemic for two years.
A lot changed after March 11, 2020. People began wearing masks and went into
lockdown. They went to work — and school — online. We all worked together (by
staying apart) to stay safe. Now in its third year, the COVID-19 pandemic is still
affecting millions of people. Yet life is slowly returning to normal.
By March 2022, about 500 million people have tested positive for COVID-19.
More than 6 million people have died. Those include more than 1 million in Asia and
more than 900,000 in the United States. Millions more got sick from the virus, many
of whom are still dealing with the long-term effects of the illness.

The virus itself has changed over the past two years as well. It
has mutated several times into different variants. Those include delta and omicron,
both of which are very contagious. That caused new waves of COVID-19 — and
resulted in the spread of the disease to more places. By now, it has reached nearly
every corner of the globe. Even the isolated islands in Tonga, Vanuatu, and Micronesia
have had some cases.
The COVID-19 vaccine helped to protect a lot of people. It kept patients from
getting very sick (or dying). A 90-year-old woman in Britain got the first approved
shot on December 8, 2020. By now, most Americans have gotten the vaccine.
However, poorer areas of the world do not have as much access. More than 1 billion
people in Africa (more than 90% of the population) still have not had any shots of the
vaccine.
The numbers of COVID-19 cases have dropped in the United States. As a result,
people do not have to wear masks anymore in most areas of the country. This month,
thousands of schools removed their mask mandate. However, travelers on planes,
trains, or public buses will still have to wear masks until at least April 18.
However, the pandemic is far from over. More than 1 million people worldwide
are testing positive for COVID-19 each day. And some areas are seeing a record
number of cases. Those include the city of Hong Kong, China, which is currently
facing its worst outbreak ever. And, of course, we will feel the effects of the pandemic
for many years. For example, recent studies show that closed schools caused millions
of young students to fall behind in their reading skills.
What will the third year of the pandemic look like? No one can be sure. There
will likely be new treatments for COVID-19 (including pills). Some experts believe
that the pandemic will officially end in 2022. But that doesn’t mean the virus will go
away. Instead, it will likely become endemic in most areas. That means the disease
will continue to spread at different times. And we will learn to live with this virus as
part of our world.

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the
extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy
and/or increased health problems. Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which
compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) when their
BMI is between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2, and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2.
Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and
osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive
dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few
cases are caused primarily by genes, blood disorders, medications or illness. Evidence
to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow
metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure
than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body
mass.
The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. Sometimes,
anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or inhibit fat absorption. In severe
cases, surgery is performed or a balloon is placed to reduce the stomach size/or bowel
length, leading to people eating less.
Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing
prevalence in adults and children, and authorities view it as one of the most serious
public health problems of the 21st century. Obesity is hated in much of the modern
world (particularly in the Western world), though it was widely perceived as a symbol
of wealth and fertility at other times in history, and still is in some parts of the world.
