Health research sharing


How the  possibility of seriously get sick changed the way we  see how research and public health planning is conducted

We have been used to believe  that medicine advancements will cover any type of eventuality; but far from reality.

The COVID -19 appearance had shown us  that there are still health threats against which we are  absolutely impotent. Also, had exposed  government failures and leadership incompetence in planning for these type of events.
The fact that the treat was not tangible and visible made it easy for politicians to disregard  funds for research, ignoring at the same time  the need to be prepared to face potential epidemics, not even saying pandemics.

One concept  that emerged from this late episode, is how important it is the communication between different scientific research  teams, sharing discoveries and interacting to develop solutions and better ways to approach problems.  Abolishing the current race to be first with the breakthroughs that will guarantee  hegemony to the  country with the discovery.

Perhaps  assembling  a world organization to manage the teams' interaction will help, allowing knowledge  sharing without politicians intervention.

    Pride is the worst of all sins. Why find a cure if you cannot brag about it? It is 1969 all over again, when the U.S scrambled to get to the moon before anyone else. Now everyone is trying to create a vaccine before the Russians.

The importance of potable water

It is important to understand the consequences of the lack of potable water in poor communities in the world. Government and non-governmental organizations are focusing their efforts to alleviate this problem, but until now  results are showing that there is more to do. Deprivation of potable water is the first cause of several health issues, that prevent the possibility of advancement in the fight against poverty. Women and children are first affected by this insufficiency as this impacts health since childbirth through the first years of development.  We should not let politicians and organizations deceit the public with false statistics, diminishing the significance of this service shortage. Surveillance groups should be created to ensure resources are applied where they need to be. All efforts will be compensated just capturing the delight of all earth communities watching the liquid flowing from pipes as a promise of a better future.

The unimportance of identity

  Consider the fact that. in a few years, I shall be dead. This fact can seem depressing. But the reality is only this. After a certain time, none of the thoughts and experiences that occur will be directly causally related to this brain or be connected in certain ways to these present experiences. That is all this fact involves. And, in that description, my death seems to disappear. Derek Parfit  Derek Parfit was a British philosopher who specialized in personal identity, rationality and ethics.

Alice sense of entitlement

Sometimes when I admire Alice,   I wonder if her cat personality has a sense of entitlement or if she simply behaves as a Queen-pet- cat. Alice - The Queen  A sense of entitlement is defined as “unrealistic, unmerited or inappropriate expectation of favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at the hands of others”. Entitlement is found when there is a higher sense of belief in one’s importance and means the person believes he deserves certain privileges – and is arrogant about it. Let's go to Alice, her elegant demeanor and her impassivity at her surroundings leads you to bring immediately the sense of entitlement. Her selection of the unimaginable places to relax, unaware of any possible restrictions, corresponds the same to her high sense of self-importance. She understands her significance as being part of the family and takes for granted her care tasks without interruption. But, because of her pleasant, playful and sweet behavior, ...
