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

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?

THE LESSER KNOWN MAHARANA OF MEWAR:RANA KUMBHA
Kumbalgarh Fort is one of most spectacular sites of India,atop a hill abt 3600ft above sea lvl in the https://t.co/LkjmzzBhE2's second largest wall is surrounding it.A fort wall second only to Great wall of China,still not so famous.


This longest wall of India stretches to almost 36Km and encompasses a few hills, many step wells and over 360 temples and palaces. Birth place of the Great Maharana Pratap, this fort is named after another Great Maharana of Mewar, who is not given his due in the History.


Builder of many architectural marvels like the Kumbhalgarh Fort, an erudite scholar, a patron of arts, music, culture & a great warrior was the Great Maharana Kumbha. Yet we don't know much about him. Let's get to know him a little.


Maharana Kumbha was the undefeated King of Mewar from 1433-1468CE.He never lost any battles &kept Mewar out of the reach of Islamic Invaders till the time he was alive. Born on Makar Sakranti to Maharana Mokal & Saubhagya Devi, Rana Kumbha was only 13 when he ascended the throne.


His father was killed by his own relatives in a political conspiracy. He was a powerful King about 8ft tall &charismatic personality,a hardcore Hindu Rajput who could shed his life for Hindu honour without thinking twice.He was an ardent skillful warrior who never lost a battle.

Dr. Anandibai Joshi

Upon her birth on 31 March 1865 she was named Yamuna, after the holy river. Her parents Gunputrao Amritaswar Joshee & Gungabai Joshee came from a long lineage of wealthy landlord family in Kalyan of Bombay Presidency, whose wealth was now waning.


Anandi was the sixth of 10 children, & had 4 brothers (only two of which survived) & five sisters. Her father was particularly fond of her, as she was a bright child with an inquisitive mind. Being an educated man himself, Ganpatrao assured that his daughter was taught Marathi.

As was common practice she was married at a tender age of 9, to Gopalrao Joshi, a 29 year old widower who worked as a postal clerk in the same city. After marriage her husband named her ‘Anandibai’ (which means ‘Joy of my heart’).

Gopalrao was man ahead of his times with reformist ideas & had married Anandibai on the condition that he would be allowed to educate his wife.

He even tried to enroll Anandi in a missionary school, but did not succeed. Despite being the supportive husband, Gopalrao had his flaws.

He was a strict teacher & would sometimes resort to beating if Anandi slacked in her studies.
