Hand sanitizer and face masks are sold out at most convenient stores. The stock market is plunging. Events, meetings and schools are getting canceled.

Coffee. Healthy or Not?

Is it healthful to drink coffee? If so, how much and why?  I believe the healthiest part about drinking coffee is the social element since we are finding our social connections to be the greatest predictor of long- term happiness.
