Lack of Scientific Strategic Point of Convergence
This piece is.written with empathy.
I started with skepticism bit mingled with sarcasm, especially, for all politicians of a large spectrum, globally spread.
I am gearing for equanimity but no where near it.
There are basically four fears.
Loss of one's belongings or greed of possessing more and more (it is called Americanism and Trumpism is its latest mutant) including power spectrum.
Anger or hate that has no limits (currently Israel but it shifts its location globally).
The worst of it is the idealism that come as various form of religions, now wanting women not to wear underwear but males excluded.
The worst is the fear of death and finding no space to bury the death, in India is escalating.
I think all humans deserve a final resting place, if not in place but in our memory.
They are our fellow beings irrespective of their birth or origin (I mean cultures).
They are not simple statistics but a product of two, a mother and a putative father.
We are sure of our mother but never the father according to Abraham T Kouvoor, an Indian skeptic or a rationalist, long gone with his establishment.
I simply believe one can be a skeptic but but never a fully accomplished rationalist.
As a medical man every death recorded is a sting on our expertise challenged to the very core.
Every man or woman is counted and they are not "Vote Bank" to exploit.
Every leader in the developed and developing world is accountable and culpable and it is applied to current President Biden and blaming Trump or scapegoating him is not the scientific way around.
We all fallible human beings, it is part of our nature but that rule does not apply to guys and girls clamouring for power keg.
The political powder peg!
The Coronavirus has exposed us to the way we use ad hoc management strategy to any human crisis, let alone a communicable disease.
It all started in London with cholera epidemic and it took a decade or more to trace the series of deaths to a common tap used by Londoners.
The primitive Public Health was born but now with tons of antiseptics condiments it has proved ineffective.
It is long before Simpson's forensic principles which I loved in total, that put the foundation of my Pathology Stint.
Realizing that I could add only 20% after full postmortem examination to the already existing 40% which put breaks to the scientific medical brain of mine was a welcome recipe.
It broaden my outlook and opened me to Linux and Free Software.
Medicine was a boring subject that I never said while in practice.
With Coronavirus that gut feeling of mine has resurfaced.
I am not saying it to put off anybody who wants to become a doctor or nurse.
But the Coronavirus will diminish the entry into this field for a very long time.
It has exposed the public sector's lack of commitment in UK and private sector's vulnerability in USA.
Insurance corporations will rewrite their small prints to exclude Coronavirus deaths, if not care.
Their premise majority will not fall ill and the premiums are good source for investments falls on the floor, if not the on the face.
I always discouraged psychology and psychiatry not because their is significant lack of pathological footprints but the shear number of the population.
There are more than 7 billion living psychologies on this planet and their should be billions of psychiatrists.
Only Buddha who could read minds of others but that is also one at a time, with rebirth and it's consequences examined in.detail but ordinary psychology guy generally projects his perspective to the gullible subjects.
It has many inherent risks.
The psychiatrists commits suicide more often than a pathologists.
That is why I always discourage somebody wanting to do psychology.
Now a bit of intermission.
Guys and Girls do not be in a rush to buy an Apple device or Google's Chrome device.
They are all bloatware padded with bubbling new icons and touch finger pads.
It is a waste of money and my version 8 and 9 if not 10 is sufficient for my work with fancy typefaces that takes the strain on my fingers and finger tips.
But if you want hard work performed it is the PC not your Laptop that takes you to the winning post, with Grammerly Typeface ruling with grammar.
Apart from my interest in Linux, I took the trouble to improve my English (especially after my retirement).
During my workdays, it was all about correct technical English and exact definition that mattered.
It is now more of both since I have broaden it to Ultra Science and Physics of mine.
I may have to coin new words to add the 4th dimensional view and perspective.
We are unfortunately trapped in 3 dimensions and there is more to this Universe than three dimensions.
It is a big mathematical puzzle.
Universe does neither stop at pictures and video conferences nor the speed of light.
It is much more.
One has to get rid of all religious beliefs and tendencies.
We have to drop political conventions that all men and women are equal.
We have enormous potentials that are suppressed by political, religious and broadly speaking scientific views.
I have already said we may be able to unravel the 20%.
I am not trying to be philosophical here.
The philosophers are good at posing good questions and not expecting a ready made answer.
Quite the opposite here in my expansive projections.
Those projections are applied to Coronavirus spread.
My current view is 50% blame goes to the politicians who govern and the other 50% who believe them as gospel truths.
We must make people less believing the plausible government side of the argument and find big holes in that argument.
I think there is a big hole in the big bucket of lies spread by paranoid doctors.
The big bucket cannot hold the current fluidity of the argument, since the virus is finding new ways explore the human predicaments.
Its fluidity in existence is existential.
There is no tailor made answers.
The answers have to be evolving with the trends and statistics.
I have a few points for argument.
The population is fast expanding and WHO has no population policy to begin with.
UNO is a Big Failure.
The nature's answer is Coronavirus to control the over population.
But a successful virus never exterminate it's host.
Less than 0.001% is it's normal strategy.
The Coronavirus far exceeds the limit of nature's tolerance.
That is my argument for human made or laboratory made virus argument.
It is also of 20 to 30 nanometer size very easy to spill out of the unregulated genomic laboratories all over the world.
Craig Ventor may have made millions, if not billions but that genomic cat has gone savagely wild now.
I do not fancy the argument that the virus was present and incubating in USA, well before 2014.
The Chart's extrapolation is in error.
Extrapolating without real data but imaginary data is totally unscientific!
That is the Chinese side of the argument.
But nobody talks about Singapore planes taking the virus all over the world from China and its lack in house plans to spread inside the cabins.
I have no sympathy for few airlines going bust.
The current trends in technology and video conferences put lead weight on airlines trying to open up logistically again.
The priorities are changing fast and I have no grouse about Air Ambulances which was a part of my work in New Zealand.
This industry is only for the super flyers.
Not for an average Indian who does not have a regular place for logging and share a room or dormitory.
Lack of housing is a global problem, especially for migrant workers.
I need to expand on global housing and how architects have no inspiration as regards to human predicament in a global pandemic.
Their esthetics may have high value for rich customers but majority in this world does not have a proper roof above them.
Sharing toilets is a common problem.
A house with 4 should have at least three toilets if we are to avoid domestic transmission of any infection.
They should not be on the same level but at different levels, at least four with a rooftop garden to support robust plants that cool the house and capture at least minute amount that was released during construction.
I do not believe in Premadasa type of "Block Cement" compartments with common toilets.
I hate high rising buildings.
If a high rising building.catchers fire it is catastrophe.
See the film Towering Inferno.
I was once incarcerated overnight in Singapore due to mishandling of the flight schedule by Sri-Lankans Airline
I.was in the 21 or 23rd floor and I could not sleep having explored the fire exit twice.
I caught up with my sleep inflight to London.
Those days airfares were cheap and only a few traveled.
Middle seats were empty and space was enough to spread out.
Coming to ground level, in my neighbourhood there is a common toilet which is an eyesore.
There is a house built on Premadasa style near it without a toilet.
Our Grama Niladhari's office is nearby.
He has no toilet.
There was a public water tap like in London, there.
I was instrumental in closing it to save water.
Why somebody get free water while I pay the water bill?
Mind you, our last water bill was over Rs.5000/=.
So this joint is a ideal breeding or spreading ground for the Coronavirus and the quarantine site or the teacher training college is nearby.
No wonder three wheeler drivers were the first to catch the virus.
Little beyond is the University.
Thank God, it is closed to students and would have been an epicenter.
We have mismanaged this crisis from the very beginning.
There were big holes to plug but they.plugged the easy ones.
It is our Navy who started it.
Of course army helped it spreading.
I finish with a sore point.
I have nothing against LGBT people but homosexuals spread this virus globally.
It is simply a Enterovirus that slips the gear to respiratory mode having switched to Adenovirus methodology (this supports my original argument that it is a laboratory virus which escaped from China).
AIDS was a classic example.
It was tree monkey virus to begin with.
The German Nazis had a base in Western Africa before Second World War.
They used poor tree moneys for experimenting.
Gods only know for what?
May be for biological weapons.
They picked up the virus from the monkeys.
They were homosexuals whereas Africans were not.
Poor Africans were subjects of vaccination program without sterilizing needles and instruments and not by sexual route.
They passed the Mutant AIDS virus to all Africans.
History repeats and this time, it is in Communist China.
The bat was the source if not civets.
