We owe all veterans a debt that can not be repaid. Our freedom, and the many benefits we all enjoy, was dearly paid for through the sacrifices and courage of these veterans including many of our own Métis service men and women.

On November 11, please take the time to remember our veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice and thank those who are still with us.

COVID-19 and the Flu part Two

Genome
Coronaviruses and influenza viruses are both enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses, and both are encapsidated by nucleoprotein. However, the genomes of these 2 viruses differ in polarity and segmentation. Influenza virus is comprised of 8 single-stranded negative-sense, viral RNA segments. SARS-CoV-2 has single-stranded, non-segmented, positive-sense, viral RNA.

Surface Proteins
Both viruses possess distinguishing surface proteins that serve as important virulence factors for infection. SARS-CoV-2 is covered in spike (S) proteins that facilitate invasion of host cells. S proteins bind to the host cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which regulates blood pressure and fluid-salt balances and is expressed by multiple organ systems throughout the body, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, intestines, brain and adipose tissues. Upon binding, SARS-CoV-2 injects its RNA into the infected cell and uses host cell machinery to replicate its genome. Newly synthesized virus particles are then released to infect additional host cells.

Influenza viruses rely on the collaborative functions of 2 viral surface proteins, haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) to enter and exit host cells. The host cell receptor for influenza viruses is sialic acid, a sugar chain that is fairly ubiquitous and attached to surface lipids and proteins of most host cells, as well as soluble proteins. HA preferentially binds to sialic acid on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells, and mediates entry of the virus to host cells. Once inside, influenza virus also releases its RNA to be copied and synthesized into new virus particles. However, as long as HA remains bound to sialic acid on cell surfaces, newly synthesized virus particles are unable to exit the infected cells. NA cleaves sialic acid from the cell surface, which releases HA and allows progeny viruses to exit infected cells and continue spreading.

COVID-19 and the Flu
The COVID-19 pandemic has created monumental imbalance to our accepted way of life, removed the illusion of host dominance and thrown a glaring spotlight on some of the tiniest members of society —viruses. As time dutifully marches on, many are all-too-cognizant of the risks associated with a circulating, pandemic respiratory virus, for which there currently remains no adequate treatment or cure, clashing with a flu season that is imminent and unavoidable. In order to predict how these 2 heavy-hitting viruses might interact with one another, let’s take a look at what we know about each virus and the diseases they inflict.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I think of all the things we celebrate as a country. And while there are all types of celebrations, the constant is the coming together.

The world today looks very different than it did just a few short months ago. Our homes have transformed into workplaces, schools, and places of rest and healing. While we may all be riding out the same storm, we are not all in the same boat. We will all experience this time differently with a unique set of challenges and opportunities.
This Thanksgiving is offering us the best opportunities to express gratitude to our family and more – thank you for keeping hope and afloat during an unprecedented and challenging time in our global history. May you enjoy a joyous Thanksgiving! And don't forget that Northey Remedies RX is here for you all the time.

Flu Myth Busters
As the colder weather signals the start of the flu season, help yourself and your family stay healthy by being informed about influenza (the “flu”).
The flu is caused by influenza viruses. These viruses become more active in late fall, and peak in mid-to-late winter, which is why so many of us get the flu around this time of the year. Someone with the flu can spread it to others by coughing, sneezing, or even talking at close range. When you come down with the flu, symptoms include fever, cough, muscle aches, headache, chills, fatigue, and a sore throat.
Although most people with the flu feel like themselves again within a week or two, some are at higher risk of complications, which can be serious. Each year about 3,500 Canadians die from the flu or its complications.3 People at risk of developing complications include the elderly, pregnant women, children under the age of 5, and people with medical conditions like asthma, cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.
Your best defence against getting the flu is to get vaccinated every year. Many people skip getting their yearly flu vaccine because of certain common myths. Let us review some of these myths and learn the truth.
