In interview,director vasanth..he talked about digital fasting,where he doesnt touch his mobile phone(uses landline) till evening spending time reading books,It was good one esp about digital fasting,with all negative things,its better to stay away from digital platform for fixed time everyday and divert that time studying,gardening,etc
And another one was of a doctor,who said they are not certain about vaccine,askes people for understanding,he stated that somethink that covid is a rumour and its gone and dont think of covid as infectious disease,it was good one,everyone should watch it
Many doctors have said that vaccine will take mid 2021 and that's minimum time period,we can only pray for vaccine to come sooner
Not aware of that interview but there are a lot of things on Covid which I'm not okay with starting with the way they way they use these PCR tests to diagnose people,how they attribute long term illnesses because of covid and how deaths are being attributed to covid.
Sure we have a pandemic where we need to be careful about but there is mass hysteria especially from scientists and experts when we should be having cooler heads to handle a crisis situation.
Testing people is a major issue because governments take big decisions based on cases
I have an article which talks about this where you can continue to have an epidemic even after its gone due to this flawed approach of testing
https://blog.plan99.net/pseudo-epidemics-7603b2da839
The conclusion of that article is what I have been feeling for quite a while
"COVID times have crushed my faith in government and academic health expertise, probably forever. So many problems have occurred, like modellers driving government policy despite being unable to actually program computers or predict epidemics. But one of the most depressing problems is the apparently universal assumption that false positives aren’t important and lockdowns are free.
Given current definitions COVID-19 will never end. People will be dying of it forever, even if the virus disappears completely. Worse still, the system is locked in a series of feedback loops — if something causes test numbers to rise then so will case numbers, which in turn will cause a further increase in testing, causing the rise to continue, triggering local lockdowns and pointless evidence free rituals, until people get depressed and stop trying to do things causing numbers being tested to fall again.
Health is run by people who suffer no consequences from policy over-reactions. Lockdown induced job losses won’t affect them, as they work for the government. A larger-scale case of “one rule for them and another for us” can’t be imagined. It’s thus no surprise when we read things like Public Health England defining a COVID death as anyone who has ever tested positive and then died, for any reason, at any time i.e. the UK being supposedly “one of the worst hit countries in the world” is a statistical fantasy. PHE officials defined it this way because they didn’t want to be accused of being a nasty libertarians who were underplaying the problem just to help capitalist workers. The idea that they’d create other, bigger problems simply didn’t occur to them — or worse, it did but they didn’t care."
