More than 1.1 million people have recovered from coronavirus globally, but the time it takes to recover can vary.

Medics at the Centre for Perioperative Care say stopping smoking, drinking less alcohol, exercising more, and maintaining a healthy weight can make a difference.

The mother of an unarmed black man shot dead while jogging says she can’t bring herself to watch a video of his slaying — and the family is demanding answers for the “modern lynching,” according to its lawyer.
Wanda Cooper-Jones, whose son, Ahmaud Arbery, was shot and killed by two white men while out of a run in southern Georgia in February, said she’s still struggling to cope with his tragic and senseless death, she told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be in a mental state where I can actually watch the video,” Cooper-Jones said. “I had others that watched it that shared what they saw and that just was enough.”
