@zcream...truth has many facets....""In its review, the Economist, the British news magazine, called her book the work “of a vindictive and petty-minded woman.”"..... https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-jun-06-me-reshetovskaya6-story.html ....

She sounds like a perfect witness.

@Vitaliy ...truth has many facets...."".

An increasing number of state and local governments have instituted temporary bans on customers bringing their own reusable bags to grocery stores and other retail outlets. The thinking: Such bags potentially could be contaminated with the coronavirus. Illinois, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, San Francisco (yes, even there!) and other locales across the country have instituted bans on reusable bags.

We clearly need to open big amount of mental hospitals for goverment clerks, no way to go through this without this help.

Medicine is shutting down across all the world

Medical help for anyone but coronaviris patients is being shut down gradually, in lot of places it is now completely off, all of this happens with orders coming from goverments.

Many of medical workers are now on unpaid leave and had been asked to look for some other work to feed themselfs.

Since there was an interesting discussion about freedom, I would like to post a video of an Italian artist, Giorgio Gaber. I added english subtitles for you guys.

Actual photo

1993, Kevin Carter

Author got Pulitzer prize for it.

Yet in 1994

On assignment for Time magazine, he traveled to Mozambique. On the return flight, he left all his film–about 16 rolls he had shot there–on the plane. It was never recovered. For Carter, this was the last straw. Less than a week later, he was dead. He drove to a park, ran a hose from the exhaust pipe into his car, and died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The suicide note he left behind is a litany of nightmares and dark visions, a clutching attempt at autobiography, self-analysis, explanation, excuse. After coming home from New York, he wrote, he was "depressed . . . without phone . . . money for rent . . . money for child support . . . money for debts . . . money!!!. . . "

@Vitaliy...corona is looking more and more like a chimera bioweapon. The Kevin Carter photo is a metaphysical blackhole. He said he took more photos of the same event, but that poses the question for how long did he leave the child on the ground...or did he even do anything more than scare away the vulture , as he was quoted ? A universal textbook moral dilemma. It could be a question in Ethics 101. Keep taking pictures and try to save thousands, or save just the one right in front of your eyes....maybe he failed the exam.

@Vitaliy....""No such dilemma exist in reality. It exist only in idealist mind.""" ....wrong. Life is but a series of such moments, and the decisions people make. Most people would think he committed suicide because of the moral dilemmas he was surrounded by, but couldn't affect, as per the FULL QUOTE. Or it could have been his failed personal life, which he couldn't reconcile with what he had witnessed, as per the FULL QUOTE. You crop out a small sentence, like a photographer would crop out other parts of an image to just make the point you wish to make. But that's not reality, nor truth. Reality was a million times more complex than he was short on cash. Human psychology isn't class theory. Out of that comes behaviorism, which is the most inhumane of solutions. Here's the full quote....""“I am depressed … without phone … money for rent … money for child support … money for debts … money!!! … I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain … of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners…I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky.”" ....and "Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for this photo but couldn’t enjoy it because he regretted not helping the child. He was consumed by the violence he had witnessed and haunted by questions about the fate of the girl. He told an interviewer that after this he smoked cigarettes under a tree and cried."

@Vitaliy...o....you were there ? Well...you knew his reasons...despite what he himself said....that makes it different ! Maybe it could be a graph ?

France has banned the online sale of nicotine products and limited their sale in pharmacies, after researchers suggested that nicotine may play a role in protecting against coronavirus.

The new rules cover products like nicotine gum and patches, designed to help people stop smoking.

Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital in Paris examined 343 COVID-19 patients along with 139 people with moderate symptoms. The result of the study was a low number of vrius patients were smokers, considering at least 35% of the population smokes cigarettes and uses nicotine products.

"Among these patients, only five percent were smokers," said Zahir Amoura, the study's lead scientist.

So, we finally know the reason of so intense anti nicotine propaganda :-) And huge fees also :-)

Dr. Dan Erickson of Accelerated Health Care talks about the impact of the coronavirus on Kern County. CA

"Big Business are open, little business are not. There's NO science behind that." - Dr. Erickson

@jleo...what's exactly an "er entrepreneurial " perspective ? ....2 doctors who have a small business who are loosing money and want to open up.....right ? Or 2 doctors who are spewing propaganda for their hospital corporation. That would be a conflict of interest, no ? At 3:30 he talks about quarantining by locking people who are not sick into their homes. This is bs. There haven't been any people in California who were quarantined by locking people inside their homes. They say they've tested 5000 people.....but don't say out of a million pop for the county, and from that localized sample , draw another herd immunity metaphor. They didn't test 5000 random people...they tested 5000 people who wanted to be tested, or were referred to be tested. Sorry...but if there's no more, I don't have an hour for er entrepreneurials talking bullshit !
