I came to the island searching for peace, a fresh start to heal from my past. Instead, I found HIM—charming, attentive, and everything I didn’t know I needed. But just when I started to believe in new beginnings, a single moment shattered it all. Even though I’d spent decades there, my living room felt like a stranger’s space. At 55, I stared at the open suitcase, wondering how my life had come to this. “How did we get here?” I asked the chipped “Forever & Always” cup in my hand before tossing it aside.

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have detected a new coronavirus in bats that is capable of entering human cells using the exact same mechanism as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. However, while this finding implies the obvious possibility of a spillover to human populations, the study authors point out that the new pathogen appears less virulent than that which caused the recent pandemic. Over the past five years, an enzyme known as ACE2 has achieved worldwide fame and notoriety as the binding site for SARS-CoV-2, providing a point of entry for the virus into human cells. Back in 2006, researchers identified a…

But researchers say the pathogen’s potential to trigger a pandemic “should not be exaggerated”. Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have identified a new coronavirus in bats that can enter human cells using the same mechanism as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. While this discovery highlights the possibility of transmission to humans, the researchers emphasize that the new virus appears to be less virulent than the one that caused the recent pandemic. Over the past five years, the enzyme ACE2 has gained global recognition as the binding site for SARS-CoV-2, allowing the virus to enter human cells. In…

Pope Francis’s ninth night in hospital was peaceful, the Vatican said Sunday, the day after revealing the 88-year-old was in a “critical” condition. Sunday morning’s update from the Vatican was brief, saying: “The night passed peacefully, the pope rested.” In a statement released on February 22, the Vatican said the Pope had “a prolonged episode of asthma-like shortness of breath” in the morning, which required him to receive “high-flow oxygen.” In addition to supplemental oxygen, the Pope also received a blood transfusion after tests showed he had low platelets. The statement said the Pope is currently in critical condition. This…

Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have identified a new bat coronavirus named HKU5-CoV-2. This virus is similar to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19) and MERS-CoV, a deadlier coronavirus with a fatality rate of up to one-third of infected individuals. Potential Threat to Humans Research shows HKU5-CoV-2 can enter human cells like SARS-CoV-2, raising concerns about its potential transmission to humans. Scientists warn that the virus poses a “high risk of spillover”, either directly from bats or through intermediate hosts like minks and pangolins. Merbecoviruses, the virus family to which HKU5-CoV-2 belongs, have already been found in multiple animal…

I stepped out of the lawyer’s office, my expression blank, shoulders drooped, looking like the stereotypical defeated ex-wife. The sky was overcast, the rain pelting down—a perfect match for the façade of misery I wore. But inside, I was buzzing with anticipation.

As soon as the elevator doors slid shut, I couldn’t help it—a giggle slipped out, bubbling up from deep within like champagne finally uncorked. Before I knew it, I was laughing uncontrollably, the sound…
