About two years ago, Suzanne noticed that her daughter was getting thinner and thinner. The Ottawa resident suspected that her daughter, then 14, had developed bulimia. By December 2019, she was struggling to get out of bed and looked gravely ill. Her parents were worried about her heart: purging a symptom of bulimia that can involve self-induced vomiting, laxative misuse, and other behaviours can cause imbalances of the electrolytes that help maintain a regular heart rhythm.
In January 2020, Suzanne’s daughter agreed to go on a wait-list for an eating-disorder clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. About two months later, as COVID-19 began upending the world, their family doctor instructed her to go to the emergency room immediately. She was admitted to the hospital’s inpatient eating-disorder program later that day.

As scientists around the world race to find a drug to cure COVID-19, in a humble little apartment in the West Adams neighborhood, Rosalía González prescribes her own remedy for the sick: a combination of faith and prayers.
Her prescription consists of praying alone in the morning, again before going to sleep, and once a week virtually with a group of 40 parishioners from Saint Agatha Church in Los Angeles that focuses on praying for COVID-19 patients, for those who have lost a loved one and for the end of the pandemic.
As a Roman Catholic, González said, her prayers are directed not only to God, but also to the Virgin Mary and certain “saints who are famous for interceding for the sick.”

STATEMENT OF SENATOR RISA HONTIVEROS ON PREVENTING THE COLLAPSE OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
World Health Day 2021 is a somber day for the country as we battle the worst COVID-19 surge in the whole of Southeast Asia.
Today, we must act on our hopes of recovery by confronting the truth: Incompetence is killing the Filipino people. The lack of humility of the IATF to acknowledge its shortcomings to this day is why our hospitals are overflowing now. If our healthcare system fully collapses, it will be the beginning of a chaotic chapter of great disease and illness. I cannot imagine how long it will take to write finish to it. Government must also be held accountable for the consequences that go beyond our COVID-19 response.
