We Need Less Uncertainty and More Proactive Action

What each of us, and our society, business and mental health needs most of all, is more certainty - all across the world. The way public health and epidemic control, in the past 2 years or so, has been handled can be abrupt, heavy handed and with lack of adequate communication with all stakeholders. Authorities swing their power to impose measures, likely using fear as an unnecessary tool or having unrevealed agendas behind the methods or plans utilised. Delta is not to be underestimated, but at the same time, it must not be manipulated for other purposes. Politicians and "the science" may have to work in a kind of knowledge vacuum, but that does not mean always taking a stare down approach. The public deserves more sincerity from our elected officials, who cannot just issue cherry picked information, but should be more open on what challenges there are in unknowns. Beware, in whatever pathway is offered, it is prudent to have a back up plan. The jarring way in which th

Testing for a Most Important Thing

What if there is a viable test carried out to detect manipulation of truth and fact, as if it was a Covid detection test? In the past 2 years or so, so many swabs have been applied on so many of our fellow residents.

The process, outcomes and the science of such swabs are not accurate all the time, as there can be resulting false positives or false negatives. In assessing whether individuals in positions of public responsibility, across several societies, are sincere in telling us what they know, or do not know, or just unsure about, we do not require chemical analysis - only our previous experience in lo

Questions Remaining re Covid management by Authorities

After around 2 years of Covid, there can be nothing like prevention at first level by face masking, minimising hanging out at places with poor ventilation and exercising more of our personal intelligence and mindfulness. Vaccinations are at best defensive measures after viral invasions get out of control. They are said to sustain a high level of antibodies in our physical make up to fight Covid. The world's populations have already worn face masks during the Spanish flu, SARs, plagues etc. Covid vaccinations can still be immature in their development - the rate at which authorities push such vaccinations, even if kosher, can be alarming. Successful vaccinations we take in the past are usually annually taken, not so often within a year. Emphasis on producing anti viral medicine for Covid seems to be at a lesser pace. There is also a lack of focus on the usefulness of our memory T cells in our own bodies to naturally fight Covid. Every excuse can be given by authorities across
