Dietary Patterns During National Lockdowns are at Odds with Recommendations for Preventing Morbidity and Mortality of COVID-19

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), most commonly referred to as COVID-19, is an acute infectious respiratory disease that has led to a global pandemic. While vaccination rollouts have begun, there is currently no effective cure for COVID-19. However, multiple factor treatment of the virus has been proven to be most efficient at slowing the rate of reproduction and spread of the virus as well as improving immune response once infected. Therefore, exploring the role that diet plays in both general immune function and specifically with SARS-CoV-2 may lead to better health outcomes globally. In addition, the role that national lockdowns have had in lifestyle changes will be discussed, and how these shifts may exacerbate the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19.

Magnetite@poly(p-phenylenediamine) core–shell composite modified with salicylaldehyde for adsorption and separation of Mn (VII) from polluted water

“…Due to the ease of synthesis, controllable structure, good acid and alkali resistance, and a large number of adsorbed functional groups, conductive polymers have gradually increased in the trend of introducing polymers as adsorbents in water treatment [22][23][24]. Poly-p-phenylene diamine (PpPD) is not only chemically stable and easy to prepare [25][26][27][28][29], but also has a large number of nitrogen-containing groups, making it widely used to remove heavy metal ions in water [30][31][32][33][34]. For instance, Munzhelele et al synthesized iron-doped PpPD composite materials to remove toxic metal ions As 3+ in water [35].…”
