Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is characterized by mild symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. Illness can be more severe for some people and can lead to pneumonia or breathing difficulties.

More rarely, the disease can be fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.

FIRST IN FLIGHT
by Kay Lockridge, Santa Fe, New Mexico

The little Cessna had just cleared the pattern in its climb to 1,500 feet when my father said, “OK, we can land now.” With my newly minted private pilot’s license in hand, I had wanted him to be my first non-instructor passenger. I’d planned to circle the Michigan State University campus and come back to the university‑owned airport. I reminded him of this, and I’ll never forget what Dad said, more than 40 years ago: “I’m not fond of small planes. I just wanted you to know that I have confidence in you.”

1. Men’s mental health during the transition to parenthood

The transition to fatherhood - from conception, through pregnancy, and to the early months and years of parenting - can be a period of extremes. For many men, it is a time of happiness, excitement and love (Bradley & Slade, 2011; Johnson, 2002). Yet, it can also be a chapter of great upheaval and anxiety (Condon, Boyce, & Corkindale, 2004; Fenwick, Bayes, & Johansson, 2012; Hanson, Hunter, Bormann, & Sobo, 2009). While the above statements could also be applied to women in the transition to motherhood, there is reason to believe that there are gender-specific factors that influence men's experience during this period. For example, in an ethnographic study of men's passage to fatherhood, Draper (2002; 2003) found that participants generally lacked the kind of clearly structured transition that tends to guide women's experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting. In the absence of such structure, expectant fathers in her study found themselves in a state of anxiety-provoking uncertainty; "in a kind of limbo … between social statuses, neither one thing or the other" (Draper, 2003, p. 70). In a similar study of Australian fathers-to-be, Fenwick et al. (2012) found that "men struggled to come to terms with the reality of the pregnancy, their changing relationships and potential economic stability" (p. 7). These authors added that "adjusting to the news of a pregnancy and the subsequent anticipation of supporting their partner throughout the childbirth process can provoke a complex set of stress responses in expectant fathers" (p. 8).

While pre- and post-natal mental illness is a well-recognised health issue for women, researchers - along with society at large - have been slow to recognise it as an important issue for men (Condon, 2006; Solantaus & Salo, 2005). This is changing, however, and the last decade has seen "fathers emerge from the wings" (Solantaus & Salo, 2005, p. 2158). On the topic of men's pre- and post-natal mental health, there now exist numerous studies (e.g., Condon et al., 2004; Giallo et al., 2012; Ramch ...resource... Internet

Father's Day 2019. We are dedicating the Month of June to Fathers. Begin the celebration for Fathers early!
The holiday was invented by a woman who really liked her dad. Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from Spokane, WA, was inspired to create Father's Day after listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. "Don’t you think fathers deserve a place in the sun, too?" she is said to have asked the minister. Dodd's own mother had died and she and her siblings had been raised by their father.



Dodd picked June for the celebration (the month of her dad's birthday) and in 1910, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane. ....to be continued...
