S. Dennis Nyanzi - Five Feet Apart
One of the best movies I have watched! Chilling yet harmonious. I loved to watch how the couple always practiced the distancing but still reserved a sentiment for each other.

Today is not one of those days where we are talking about movies. We are talking about the cystic fibrosis which those 2 chaps had.

What is cystic fibrosis?😕
A common grave genetic disease that affects the exocrine glands and is characterized by the production of abnormal secretions, leading to mucus buildup that impairs the pancreas and, secondarily, the intestine. Mucus buildup in lungs can impair respiration.

Can someone succumb to it? 😕
Without treatment, CF results in death for 95 percent of affected children before age 5; however, a few long-lived CF patients have survived past age 60. Early diagnosis
is of great importance.

How is it treated?😕
Treatment includes physical therapy to loosen the mucus in the lungs and use of pancreatic enzymes and medications to fight dangerous infections of the lungs.

How common is it?😕
One in 400 couples is at risk for having children with CF. CF is a recessive trait, so the chance of an at-risk couple having a child with CF is 25 percent with each pregnancy. CF is caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis conductance regulator) gene, which is located on chromosome 7.

Choose your partner wisely. Bye
