Greetings MED-Hive community!

Hello beautiful members! We welcome you, once again, to the Med-hive community monthly prompt for Health Promotion and Awareness. As this community's main objective, members now have the opportunity to join and share important knowledge, practical tips and answer questions about the topic of the month.

This prompt is live during the entire month of AUGUST, 2022.

We all want to learn and grow with this community this month, as we write about a chosen area of focus. Please, feel free to do as many posts as you want about the topic throughout the month. It is our aim to open health discussions regarding our topic and the more the merrier!

YOU CAN DO MORE THAN 1 POST FOR THE PROMPT, THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.

Medicine has an abundance of things to write about, considering the different points of view from the various health professions out there. Thus, you have the opportunity to glean from them and expand your horizons about our topic for the month, here on the wonderful Hive Blockchain.

Let's get the knowledge flowing, shall we?

Yes, we want to hear your Covid-19 story! Aside the fact that it can be archived and kept for years on the blockchain, we also want to read these experience, to bring enlighten one another of healthy practices and prevent the spread of such disease.

We know it might have been a sad experience, or you may have lost someone close, or gotten traumatized, or maybe you don't even believe there was a Covid-19 at all. You probably faced issues or doubts relating to vaccination and lockdown in your country. However it may have been, it sure was not a fun experience for everyone and we want you to share it with us!

Here are some suggestions for the prompt to help you start the creative process:

• Are you a health worker? You could share your experiences during those times and how you probably got infected over and over again.
• You worked and managed covid-19 patients? Share your experience, and share important care tips for our non-med hivers.
• Non-health workers, how did you cope during the lockdown, did you get infected, and how did you cope with the isolation period? Did you have a support circle? How was your mental health throughout?
• How can we prevent such from happening again?
• Are you going to keep health precautions, such as disinfecting your hands, even after the pandemic is over?
• Did any aspect of your health improve over the pandemic? Did you change any health habits for the better?
