UFO fans in Indonesia on why extraterrestrial life should be taken seriously in a country wedded to the occult Members report mysterious sightings in the night sky and discuss extraterrestrial-related topics, such as foo fighters (not the rock band, but a second world war term for mysterious aerial phenomena) and plans by the American space agency Nasa and its associates, including the Artemis programme’s aim to send 13 astronauts to Mars. Beta-UFO members believe it is time to take the possibility of extraterrestrial life seriously. “We live in a time where many countries, such as China and India, are focused on exploration, including the possibility of life out there,” says Michael, who thinks Indonesia needs to play a part too.

The case for shutting down almost everything, and restarting when coronavirus is gone | John Daley Nobody likes talking about the Covid-19 endgame, but we need to choose one. The appropriate interventions – public health, government spending, and freedom of movement – all depend on the endgame we choose. The differences between endgames amount to tens of thousands of avoidable deaths, hundreds of thousands of avoidable hospital admissions, and deep and systemic impacts on Australia’s economy and society. Many discussions are underestimating the likely political reactions when death counts rise. They are also underestimating the economic and social consequences of an open-ended epidemic that will have enormous real-world impacts on small and medium businesses, as well as many not-for-profit organisations in every sector of the economy and society. We are not facing up to the social consequences if many close, and credit markets collapse. We see three possible endgames. None are attractive, but one is better than the others. Endgame A: flatten the curve It’s not really plausible.

koritanews.app Όλα όσα πρέπει να γνωρίζουμε για το πρωτοποριακό εμβόλιο των Pfizer/BioNTech και για τον τρόπο που επιδρά στο γονιδίωμα μας Αυτές της μέρες το μεγάλο γεγονός της επικαιρότητας είναι τα καινούργια εμβόλια που ρίχνονται στην μάχη για να αναχαιτιστεί η πανδημία. Ήδη από σήμερα ξεκινούν οι εμβολιασμοί στην Βρετανία, οι υγειονομικές υπηρεσίες της οποίας ήταν οι πρώτες που έδωσαν την έγκριση για την χορήγηση του εμβολίου. Η μεγάλη κουβέντα όμως γίνεται για το πρωτοποριακό εμβόλιο των Pfizer/BioNTech, καθώς χρησιμοποιεί το RNA και επεμβαίνει στο γονιδίωμα μας, παράγοντας έτσι τα αντισώματα που χρειάζεται ο οργανισμός μας για να αποκρούσει την μόλυνση από το κορωνοϊό. Καθώς οι περισσότεροι από εμάς, δεν έχουμε σπουδάσει ιατρική είναι φυσικό να υπάρχουν απορίες και επιφυλάξεις για αυτήν την καινούργια μέθοδο εμβολιασμού. Και πολλοί που δεν ανήκουν στους λεγόμενους συνωμοσιολόγους , προτιμούν να εμβολιαστούν πρώτα κάποιοι άλλοι, πριν πάρουν τη απόφαση να εμβολιαστούν και οι ίδιοι. Ο κινδυνος(?)
