They're actually not yours, Dr Emmons says. After figuring out which dragons you have you work on strategies to tame them and bring any anxiety you may have under control. Some of those strategies are really quite simple, too. For instance, doctor Ayman tells me that he starts every day by saying out loud to himself. Today is going to be a great day, he says. By doing that he's telling his brain that it really is going to happen. He also ends every day by answering a simple question. What went right today. This, he says, keeps your thoughts positive.

Calls Nick Problem explains how genome sequencing is helping to find those variants here. It's a randomized way to see what version of covert 19 is circulating where we look more. We're certainly going anticipate we might find more.
