This #Pandemic is the Best Time for Us to Live #Healthy
How can you make a difference during the #coronavirus #pandemic? Get the flu vaccine. It will not protect you against coronavirus but remember that over 20,000 people died from #influenza in 2019.

A pandemic and people are blaming a #virus we cannot even see. Does the way I live my daily life affect my resistance to the infection?
