How do COVID-19 experts psychologically manage the pandemic and its effects? Using a full year of press briefings (January 2020–January 2021) from the World Health Organization ( N = 126), this paper evaluated the relationship between communication patterns and COVID-19 cases and deaths. The data suggest as COVID-19 cases and deaths increased, health experts tended to think about the virus in a more formal and analytic manner. Experts also communicated with fewer cognitive processing terms, which typically indicate people “working through” a crisis. This report offers a lens into the internal states of COVID-19 experts and their organization as they gradually learned about the virus and its daily impact.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has represented a major challenge for human beings during 2020. At time this editorial is written (December 7th) there was a total of 66’422,058 confirmed positive cases and 1’532418 deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) (1). In our country, the latest report released by the Ministry of Health (MINSA) showed a cumulative of 973,918 confirmed cases including 36,274 deaths. (2) This dramatic scenario has brought various limitations in all aspects of our lives, forcing us to adapt to the “new normality”, that includes strong protection measures to restrain the spread of the viral infection among our population. (3) Although these restrictions have been progressively lifted with the passing of the months, the educational activity at all levels has not yet been reestablished.

Currently, both trends of obesity and awareness of the possible adverse effects of obesity are rising in our population. According to the World Health Organization, about one third of the world's population is suffering from obesity-related health problems. Cancer, a severe progressive disease that is becoming more and more common, is among them. However, the association between obesity and cancer is not informed very well by the public. In this paper, the first part will briefly introduce present situations of obesity and common complications of obesity. The following two parts will explain the mechanisms of cancer formation and discuss the relationship between obesity and cancer in an understandable way.

In light of escalating rates of COVID-19 cases, the world stands stunned. The health, social, and global economic situation continues to deteriorate. The seriousness of the situation became evident to most people, yet no one had a radical solution. Scientifically, there is no sure treatment for viral infections other than strengthening the immune system. Therefore, the idea of ​​a vaccine is the most appropriate to reduce infections. However, vaccines will not be accessible to everyone, considering the genetic changes that the virus may create later. The idea of ​​re-imposing a global quarantine, with international leadership for a limited period, is emerging as a strategic alternative, on the condition that it should be launched simultaneously in all countries of the world. To ensure the quarantine's success, all countries must adhere to the comments of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   References World Health Organization, Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV) SITUATION REPORT –1, 21 JANUARY 2020.
