Nipah Virus Scare: Airports Bring Back Covid Checks

Remember those airport health checks from the Covid days? They’re back in Asia, but this time it’s because of a deadly Nipah virus outbreak in India. Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan are screening travelers from West Bengal, with fever checks and quarantine for anyone showing symptoms. Even tourist caves in Thailand are under watch! The virus spreads from animals and person-to-person, and has a super high fatality rate. Would you still travel right now? #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus

ADHD Diagnosis Limbo Is Out of Control

Getting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK is a total maze. If you go private, the NHS might not accept it. If you stick with the NHS, you could be waiting years. The system is so broken that people are being bounced back and forth, with some waiting up to 10 years for help. It’s a mess—patients are stuck, GPs are confused, and families are left hanging. Something’s gotta give! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD

Nipah Virus Outbreak Hits India—What’s Happening?

Two nurses in West Bengal, India, have been infected with the deadly Nipah virus—one is now in a coma. Health officials believe they caught it from a patient with severe respiratory symptoms. Over 180 people have been tested, and 20 high-risk contacts are in quarantine. Authorities are even testing bats at the local zoo to find the source. There’s no cure or vaccine for Nipah, so everyone’s on high alert, but officials say there’s no need to panic yet. #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus

Snow Shoveling Is Riskier Than You Think!

Who knew clearing your driveway could be a heart-stopper—literally? Docs are warning that shoveling snow, especially in freezing temps, can spike your risk of a heart attack. The combo of heavy lifting and cold air puts major stress on your heart, especially if you’ve got risk factors like high blood pressure or don’t exercise much. If you can, pay someone else to do it or take lots of breaks. Stay safe out there! #Health #BodyHealth #WinterStorm

Screen Time Rules Are Outdated?

Turns out, just limiting kids’ screen time isn’t cutting it anymore. The American Academy of Pediatrics says we need bigger changes—like holding tech companies accountable for what kids see online. It’s not just on parents to monitor every click (which is basically impossible). The real move? Open convos with your kids about what they’re doing online, and push for safer digital spaces. Watching TikToks together counts as bonding now! #Health #MentalHealth #Parenting

Football’s Hidden Danger: Heading & Brain Disease

Glasgow hospital’s early opening: Who felt the heat?

The push to open Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on time didn’t come from politicians, but from inside the health board itself, according to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. After years of speculation and a high-profile inquiry into deadly infections, the board now admits internal pressure led to the hospital’s early launch—before all safety issues were known. Families affected by the infections say they feel betrayed, and the board has issued a public apology. With over £31 million spent on the inquiry and real lives impacted, how should we hold public institutions accountable when speed trumps safety? #Health #BodyHealth #Glasgow
