Food retailer Kroger has also posted guidelines on who gets the vaccination first. It also asserted that the vaccine is highly effective and it is good to take it. It also talks about the safety of the vaccine.

On the other hand, Walmart is first vaccinating its own pharmacy staff before it goes on to vaccinate the public at large. It added on its website in the form of FAQs that it is working in accordance with the directions issued to it from the public health authorities.

Albertsons also revealed that it is part of the national vaccine-distribution plan and would be working along with it. There is also a place for people to sign up for new information related to the vaccination program.

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...

They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness.
