PITTSBURGH: Vitamin and herbal supplement retailer GNC has filed for bankruptcy in the United States, with plans to close at least 800 to 1,200 locations and possibly sell itself. The 85-year-old company filed for Chapter 11 protection late Tuesday night (Jun 23) in the US bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware. GNC had been trying to reduce its nearly US$900 million debt load amid falling sales at its brick-and-mortar stores when the coronavirus pandemic forced thousands of locations to close temporarily, cutting off a major revenue source.

With circuit breaker measures well and truly in place in order to flatten the COVID-19 curve, food delivery services have never been more important to both F&B outlets and customers alike than they are right now. Homegrown restaurants, your favourite hawker stalls, eateries, cafes and high-end dining places are all providing a plethora of convenient delivery services and deals. One good hack is to order directly from the restaurant as third-party apps often charge the establishment commission fees. That said, we'd encourage you to be extra kind to anyone delivering food since they are doing extra work and putting their health at risk. Do tip generously (when you can) and support these local businesses.

Maria de Nazaré Sajes, 65, tested positive for the coronavirus and believes she fought off the symptoms by drinking the infusion of bitter leaves. "I made jambú tea and felt healthy again. People said: 'Look at Maria, how she has recovered, she no fever or pains'," Maria said boiling water on a gas stove in her wooden house. Her village on the banks of a tributary of the Amazon was visited by public health workers to test inhabitants for the virus that is ravaging Brazil in the world's second-worst outbreak after the United States. US regulators withdrew approval this week for the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine to treat patients with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. It is still being prescribed in Brazil as … [Read more...] about Some Amazon villagers eschew drugs for COVID-19
