Does Drinking Red Wine Really Protect Against COVID? Let's Look at The Data
A study published last month in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition made headlines around the world.
Among a number of findings concerning alcoholic drinks and COVID, it reported drinking red wine was associated with a reduction in the risk of contracting COVID.
What were some of the findings? There were a number of findings reported in this study.
Probably the most captivating from a media perspective was that drinking between one to four glasses of red wine a week was associated with an approximate 10 percent reduction in the risk of getting COVID.
Drinking five or more glasses of red wine a week was associated with a reduction in risk of 17 percent.
A total of 58% of Americans said they will continue to wear a mask in public once their community removes mask mandates, according to a new poll by The Economist/YouGov.
The poll found that 28% said they would not continue wearing a mask, and 13% were not certain.
Here are how the poll results broke down:
32% said they believe it was safe to resume normal activities. Another 27% said it will be safe after 2022; 18% said it will be safe in the second half of 2022; 14% it will never be safe; and 9% said it will be safe in the first half of 2022.
77% said they were ready to return to normal from the COVID-19 pandemic compared to 23% who said they were not.
49% said they disapprove of President Joe Biden's handling of COVID-19, compared to 40% who approved.
46% said schools should not be allowed to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for students, while 37% believed they should be allowed.
64% said they believe there shouldn't be any COVID-19 restrictions in their community, compared to 26% who believe there should be.
As a gesture I am NOT going to insist that those who still wear a mask lose their job, be denied medical attention, and have their bank account frozen

I'm sold. I drink 3 bottles of Pinot Noir a week. Also the red wine and Meditrean food diet lowers blood pressure
Like Gordon Gekko I have a BP monitor on my desk and wine always lowers it
