Temperatures have officially dropped in most parts of the country, and some areas have even seen major snowstorms this winter. Of course, one of the most magical parts about those picturesque flurries is getting to play in it: stomping through the fluffy mounds, snowball fights, and catching snowflakes on your tongue as they gracefully fall from the sky.
Of course, there will always be the playful folks (and blissful children) who end up eating a fistful of the stuff. Some people even like to make ice cream out of snow, and there are countless recipes online that can tell you exactly how to do it.
Mysteries still surround COVID-19. They keep this N.J. doctor searching for answers.

The blood tests were never conclusive.
It was late December 2019, and Dr. David Cennimo was treating a man with severe pneumonia and an abnormal white blood cell count.
Despite all the tests and chest scans which showed his lungs were all but torn apart the man’s condition remained a mystery. Cennimo could never pin down a diagnosis.

At the beginning of the pandemic, disinfecting wipes were a coveted item and difficult to find.
Now, they re finally making their way back to store shelves. But how much do we really need to be disinfecting surfaces?
Microbiologists say the coronavirus doesn t usually survive on surfaces.
âYou actually go into hospitals where they re treating COVID-19 patients and you check the surfaces, and there s no infectious virus, none,â said Dr. Emanuel Goldman, a microbiology professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
Whenever the coronavirus is found on a surface, it s usually the RNA. Think of it as the corpse or skeleton of the virus. It usually means the virus is no longer there and it s unlikely that you will become infected by touching that surface.
