To A Broken heart

Infectious disease doctors break it down. As convenient as rapid tests are, many people wonder about their accuracy. How often do people get false negatives? Is one brand better than another? With so many people testing negative on rapid tests when they're actually positive—an experience a lot of people have had recently—it raises the question of whether this has something to do with this new variant. Here’s everything you need to know. Why Some COVID Rapid Tests Show Negative Results Even if You’re Positive There is no evidence to suggest that the new variants (XBB.1.5 or BQ.1.1 for example) lead to less accurate rapid tests. The rapid tests should still be working against the current variants, and we know that even as SARS-CoV-2 has evolved, the rapid tests have continued working for all prior variants,  Dr. Scott Roberts, MD , a Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist, explains. However, Dr. Roberts says false negatives can appear on rapid tests for the following reas

The opening of the reality juggernaut's 44th season includes talk about puke bags, bad breath, and open hearts. "For 22 years, Survivor has been exploring the idea of group dynamics and interpersonal relationships in a really unique way. You take a group of strangers, strip them of everything. You abandon them, force them to create a new society while relying on each other. That’s the group dynamic. Then you put this game on top of it where you have to vote players out. And in the end, the last player left wins a million." That's how Jeff Probst  opens up the clip below, a sneak peek of the upcoming premiere of Survivor 44 . But for the 18 people standing in front of the host and executive producer, it's not any new information. Despite coming from all locations and walks of life , they share an unabashed love of the longtime reality show, from newer fans to people watching back in May 2000. And apparently with this cast, they also share a desire to express th

The father-daughter duo is promoting the new Hyundai. Kevin Bacon is bringing his daughter to work!  The actor, 64, and his daughter Sosie , 30, co-star in a new commercial together promoting Hyundai's newest car, the IONIQ 6 electric vehicle!  The ad captures Bacon as he picks Sosie up from her house. When she sees him pull up, she's surprised that he's "going EV." When she gets in the car, she jokes that her dad is not technologically savvy. "The guy who is internally locked out of his email is going EV," she quips. "Actually it's an ev, rhymes with Kev," Bacon informs her, not knowing that you're just supposed to say the letters "E" and "V," which stand for "electric vehicle." He goes on to show off the car's cool features to his daughter, who is seemingly over his shenanigans. "Okay watch this, blue or red," he states while changing the colors of the ambient light that is featur

As we get older, it can be harder and harder to stoke the fire of one’s metabolism . It’s just something that happens naturally over the years, but for many, it can be a frustrating fact to say the least, especially if you have goals you’d like to reach. As many people know, fad diets aren’t the best way to go about losing weight—specifically, Cleveland Clinic says that often, these diets aren’t well-researched or the research is faulty. Instead, it’s best to focus on tried-and-true certainty, and that’s good nutrition . In addition to fueling your body and feeling your best through plentiful nutrients, there’s another approach you can consider as well: eating thermic foods. “Studies have found that protein exerts an ‘increased thermic’ or calorie-burning, effect when compared with carbs and fats,” says Paul Kriegler, RD , Director of Nutritional Product Development at  Life Time . “This means that our bodies use more energy to digest and burn protein than carbs or fat.” This way

'The White Lotus' star on why she signed onto this Apple TV+ series and whether she'd do a second season. Nashville, Friday Night Lights  and The White Lotus star Connie Britton, 55, faces a major tragedy in her latest role for TV. In Dear Edward (Feb. 3 on Apple TV +), Britton plays Dee Dee, a woman whose husband died in a plane crash that killed all aboard except for a 12-year-old boy named Edward. In an examination of the human spirit, the story follows Edward and the relatives of those lost as they come together after the crash. This is a story about unexpected loss. Did you learn something about grief playing Dee Dee?  I did. Grief is such a profound and organic topic. It really is something that we all deal with and it’s fundamentally human. Yet it’s something that feels so elusive, I think, particularly, in the American culture. I find having gone through grief in my own life that a lot of times we don’t have ways to work through it and to handle it. We’re n
