  • The New York Times on Vaccines and Masks

    Here’s Why Vaccinated People Still Need to Wear a Mask

    ” The new Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna seem to be remarkably good at preventing serious illness. But it’s unclear how well they will curb the spread of the coronavirus.

    That’s because the Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with Covid-19. That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms, and could then silently transmit the virus — especially if they come in close contact with others or stop wearing masks.” Continue reading here

  • BBC on Approved Vaccines 

    Moderna becomes third Covid vaccine approved in the UK

    “Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said it is “excellent news” that a third coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the UK.

    It is made by US company Moderna and works in a similar way to the Pfizer one already being offered on the NHS.

    The UK has pre-ordered 17 million doses of the Moderna vaccine – 10 million more than planned – but supplies are not expected to arrive until spring.

    It is the last Covid vaccine with final trial data published. ” Continue reading here

    Covid: WHO team investigating virus origins denied entry to China

    “A World Health Organization (WHO) team due to investigate the origins of Covid-19 in the city of Wuhan has been denied entry to China.

    Two members were already en route, with the WHO saying the problem was a lack of visa clearances.

    However, China has challenged this, saying details of the visit, including dates, were still being arranged.

    The long-awaited probe was agreed upon by Beijing after many months of negotiations with the WHO.

    The virus was first detected in Wuhan in late 2019, with the initial outbreak linked to a market. ” Continue reading here

What to do while currently in Vienna
yoga from home during covid

  • Food delivery

The coronavirus situation doesn’t need to prevent you from trying delicious food and keeping your body fueled and healthy. You can visit Lieferando and UberEats or other delivery websites, pick anything you have cravings for and have it delivered to your location.

You can also make your own Viennese dish if you’re craving some authentic Viennese food. Here are some delicious Viennese recipes to try!

  • Watch an Austrian movie

If you can’t explore the city because of the restrictions, you can watch an Austrian movie instead! We all know that feeling when we watch a movie, we see a scene filmed where we’ve been and we scream ‘I’ve been there!” How about watching a movie set in Vienna while you are in Vienna? It suddenly changes your current experience of the city. Here is a list of 7 Films to Make You Fall in Love with Austria.

  • Read a book

This is a great chance to read those books on your shelf that you’ve always wanted to read but never had the time to. Or how about digging into your e-reader and seeing what reading material you have under “save for later.” Reading has the effect of putting our mind at ease from the stress of everyday.

  • Keep the communication going with your loved ones

You can use this time to reconnect with your loved ones through different video options online. Keeping everyone up-to-date about yourself, making sure everyone is healthy and well and “making someones’ day” by giving them a good laugh is a great way to maintain strong relations even when you cannot physically spend time together.

Virtual coffees and dinner dates with a friend, family member, a loved one, or a “double-date” even with another couple is the thing to do during these corona times. Why not enjoy someones’ company while everyone stays in the comfort of their home? Times like these sometimes ask us to adapt to another lifestyle, but why not make the best of it?

  • Yoga/Stretching

As we all know, keeping active is crucial to our well-being. When you’re stuck inside for a longer period of time and running or going to the gym is no longer an option, yoga and stretching are the way to go. These are activities you can do on your own floor or balcony. There are many videos online that you can follow while doing these activities, and you can also tune into live-stream yoga classes available online.

  • Go for a run or a nice walk and get some fresh air

Although social distancing during these times is very important, going outdoors for some fresh air and a walk or a run are just as important for our health.

We suggest talking a walk around your living premises, making use of your backyard if you have one or simply going on your balcony more frequently during the day. Staying active is essential to our health and going for a run around your block will help, especially in stressful times like these.

protect yourself from coronavirus

 

The entire LuggageHero team wishes you good health and positive vibes!

It’s important that we all follow the measures set by the authorities and protect ourselves and others. By social distancing and taking care of our hygiene, we are lessening the change of the virus spreading. Every individual matters. If coronavirus spreads this fast, imagine how contagious some love and a smile are?
