Over the course of the pandemic, researchers have identified some people who are more likely to spread COVID-19 to others. One of the more obvious groups? Younger adults, who are less likely to show symptoms and more likely to socialize. However, researchers recently identified another more surprising group of people who are more likely to be superspreaders. Read on to find out who they are—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. People With a Higher BMI are More Likely to Spread COVID, Says StudyAccording to a new study published online February 9 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences people who have a higher body mass index (BMI) and are older in age are more likely to spread COVID-19 to others. Why? According to researchers, they exhale more respiratory droplets. David A. Edwards, Ph.D., founder and chief scientific officer of Sensory Cloud, Boston, Massachusetts, and formerly professor of bioengineering at Harvard University, Boston, and colleagues, measured respiratory particles exhaled by 194 healthy individuals and in eight primates who had been “experimentally infected” with SARS-CoV-2. They found that those in the top 18$ of BMI multiplied by age (BMI-years) exhaled 80 percent of the bioaerosols. Additionally, half of the group with the lowest BMI-years, exhaled significantly less than the other half with the highest BMI-years. "We have done a number of other studies over the last 9 months, and we always see this. The signature of superspreading of airborne infectious disease may be quite directly related to this phenotypical variation in exhaled respiratory droplets between individuals," Edwards told Medscape."Part of your immune system is your mucus. So, when you lose that barrier function, there's a weakening of the immune system. We think with all these factors ― [increasing] BMI, age, infection ― there's a correlation between weakened immunity and more respiratory droplets."Dr. Edwards believes that a product produced by his company—FEND ("fast emergency nasal defence")—could effectively suppress airway droplets in the nasal passages.

Papa John's recently reported successful 2020 results, with same-store sales growing 17.6% in a year. It was one of the delivery-heavy restaurant chains that saw an uptick in sales as Americans found themselves suddenly at home. Papa John's has a plan to ride the momentum past the COVID-19 pandemic, and it involves innovations that go beyond pizza.Papa John's hit record unit volumes and incremental check growth throughout the year, and much of that success can be attributed to the innovative menu items introduced by the chain, according to CEO Rob Lynch. (Related: McDonald’s Is Making These 8 Major Upgrades.)"At the start of 2020, Papa John's innovation mindset was taking hold as proven by a wave of successful new products, including garlic parmesan crust, Papadias, and jalapeño poppers, which drove strong Q1 performance and a third consecutive quarter of positive comp sales at that time," Lynch said on the chain's Q4 earnings call. "Instead of buying, on average, two pizzas, people are buying two pizzas and a Papadia."Non-pizza menu items were standout performers at Papa John's last year, so customers can expect more of the same winning strategy in 2021. That means you'll see more foods like Papadia sandwiches and jalapeño poppers pop up, according to Lynch."There's a lot of opportunity to innovate against pizza, lots of interesting ideas in the pipeline," Lynch said in a separate call with MarketWatch. "There are lots of chances outside of traditional pizza."But Papa John's isn't about to leave pizza fans to fend for themselves. Innovations like a new stuffed crust and a limited-time Shaq-a-Roni pie helped the chain's pizza ticket averages, too.Lynch also believes that the "premium" nature of the brand's food deserves higher price averages, so don't expect to see a price drop on the menu anytime soon."We will continue to bring innovation and not race with Domino's or Pizza Hut to sell the cheapest pizza," he told MarketWatch. "We think our product warrants a premium price."For more on fast-food trends, check out 6 Most Anticipated Fast-Food Menu Items Launching This Year.

You might be concerned about getting your COVID vaccine. The CDC gets that. “We understand that some people may be concerned about getting vaccinated,” they say. “While more COVID-19 vaccines are being developed as quickly as possible, routine processes and procedures remain in place to ensure the safety of any vaccine that is authorized or approved for use.” Since “safety is a top priority,” the CDC offers advice on what to expect after getting your vaccine—including one thing not to do. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 The CDC Says Don’t Worry That the COVID Vaccine Will Make You Sick With COVID “Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?” asks the CDC. “No. None of the COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that causes COVID-19 so a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.” “The COVID vaccine doesn't give you COVID because it's not the virus. It’s just one protein from the virus that induces your body to make a good response against the whole virus,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. 2 The CDC Says to Expect Some Side Effects “You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection,” says the CDC. “These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.” On the arm where you got the shot, you may feel pain and swelling. Throughout the rest of your body, you may develop a fever, chills, tiredness or a headache. 3 If You Feel Pain or Discomfort, Try These Methods to Relieve It If you feel pain on your arm from the shot:Apply a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the area.Use or exercise your arm.“And to reduce discomfort from fever:Drink plenty of fluids.Dress lightly,” says the CDC. 4 If You Feel Pain, Discuss Pain Relievers With Your Doctor “If you have pain or discomfort, talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, antihistamines, or acetaminophen, for any pain and discomfort you may experience after getting vaccinated,” says the CDC. “You can take these medications to relieve post-vaccination side effects if you have no other medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally. It is not recommended you take these medicines before vaccination for the purpose of trying to prevent side effects, because it is not known how these medications may impact how well the vaccine works.” 5 When to Call the Doctor “In most cases, discomfort from fever or pain is normal,” says the CDC. “Contact your doctor or healthcare provider:If the redness or tenderness where you got the shot increases after 24 hoursIf your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few daysIf you get a COVID-19 vaccine and you think you might be having a severe allergic reaction after leaving the vaccination site, seek immediate medical care by calling 911.” 6 Remember These Basics, Says the CDC "Side effects can affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.With most COVID-19 vaccines, you will need 2 shots in order for them to work. Get the second shot even if you have side effects after the first shot, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get a second shot.It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. COVID-19 vaccines that require 2 shots may not protect you until a week or two after your second shot."RELATED: Dr. Fauci Just Said When We'd Get Back to Normal 7 How to Stay Healthy During This Pandemic Follow the public health fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—wear a face mask that fits snugly and is double layered, don’t travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
