BC COVID19
Saved by @trestrange

1. I need to clear the air on my view of Covid19. I get attacked as being brainwashed, a paid Covid19 fear mongerer, and many more.
I do NOT believe it's just a bad flu. It's NOTHING like a flu. It's far worse. I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist fan, so I do believe

 That this virus is man made and accidentally escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan. I hope to be proved wrong. I do believe that this virus is incredibly infectious and although the death rate is relatively low, it's not seasonal. So it will continue killing at average 2% of
Infected people at a time. Not per year as a bad flu would. It has a cunning ability to mutate and find it's way around even the strongest immune systems, eventually. As it did in SA. We had a very low death rate to start off with, probably due to our BCG Vacs, but now
Our younger people are dying. Our hospitals are at capacity and overflowing for the second time. Our "natural death" figures have increased dramatically due to unavailability of hospital beds due to Covid19. I feel those deaths were directly due to Covid19, as patients
Could not receive appropriate treatment in time. The symptoms and actual cause of death due to Covid19 is not the same as a "bad flu". I have never lost so many people I personally know, young and old, to any previous pandemic before.
Is Covid19 a pandemic? No. NOT YET.
However, at this rate, if it continues for another year, which I think it might, the death rate may just touch upon that of s pandemic.
Then we come to government interference in businesses and our personal lives.
I do believe that wearing masks reduces the risk of spreading
The disease. Masks are there to protect others, not the wearer of the mask. It stops the spread of large sputum particles that het airborne, land on surfaces, etc. Just like any other flu virus spreads. This in itself should teach us a lesson about spreading the flu virus
Each winter. People die because WE are inconsiderate. We go to work sick. We go to the shops sick. We just spread and spread without thinking about the consequences of our actions. Washing hands, wearing masks and social distancing is a MUST. Limiting the number of people
At a gathering, is a must. Curfews??? Well, personally I think it's a good thing but not as strict as it is now. Limiting the sale of alcohol, definitely. Stopping the sale of alcohol and cigarettes, absurd.
Quite frankly, I think our governments, worldwide, are
Panicking. They realise something is off, and don't know what they are up against. The locking of borders makes no sense. NZ forces anyone entering the country into two weeks quarantine. At a price. There is a market opening up.
If you can provide a negative lab test, why
Not be allowed to cross the border.
The initial lockdown of 6 weeks was necessary to prepare all hospitals. Now we know, typical of the ANC government, they failed at that too.
After the initial lockdown, all trade should have reopened, obviously under strict regulations.
Is it a conspiracy theory of the world order to take over? To reduce the population? No, I don't think so. It's a virus unlike any other virus ever encountered and scaring the shit out of all virologists, WHO and world leaders.
This is not a flu virus. It might be family of
The Corona virus, bit not a flu virus. Not just a bad flu.
We are up against something that is ever mutating, not seasonal and slowly kill more and more people.
Now, the question, to Vaccinate or not to vaccinate.
Personally, I won't. No vaccine for a virus related to the
Flu virus, has yet proved to be effective for a long period of time. Hence annual flu vaccines are necessary. Now this virus is not seasonal, how do we know when to have a follow up shot? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?
Having said that, I need to visit my children in NZ and if
Regulations state I must be vaccinated, I will be vaccinated. It's like taking the Yellow fever shot when traveling to countries which that vac is needed for. Or anti-malaria meds when going to countries that has malaria mosquitoes.
I am not anti the vaccine, I just don't
Think, especially after I have had Covid19, that it would be necessary. Also, people think that the vaccine will prevent them from contracting Covid19. If it works like any other vaccine, you can still contract that illness, you just wont die from it.
My opinion on Covid19

So when it first appeared in Normandy, the Sherman Firefly and it's meaty 17 pounder represented an ideal combo of reliable chassis, great gun and devastating firepower right?

Ummm...

Truth is a bit more complex. /1
#WW2 #SWW #History


Deliveries of Firefly to units only commenced in April 1944,
just a few weeks before Overlord & left minimal time for familiarisation.

Armoured Regiments mostly utilised Fireflies on a basis of 1 per troop of 4 tanks. /2


Finally each armoured regiment troop had access to integral, meaty, anti-tank firepower capable of dealing serious damage to any German AFV likely to be encountered. /3


The dual purpose 75mm gun was quite capable of laying down a reasonable HE shell or AP round for dealing with Panzer III or IV.

Firefly's 17 Pounder had.... problems with HE, but excelled at tank killing. So Tigers and Panthers would need to be wary. /4


Firefly's design history dated back to March 1943 when the General Staff published "Policy on Tanks" which effectively stated the majority of tanks should have a good HE weapon and...

"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.

Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

1/9


Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

2/9

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.


Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that


mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared


here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah
🙏🕉🙏
