A brief note on the blog and on COVID-19


The subject of COVID-19, a virus that burst forth from its rom obscurity in (most likely) one population or another of wild mammals in China to become a global zoonotic pandemic, is well-suited for Demography Matters. Speaking for myself, I have felt unable to address this topic because it is so all-encompassing. It has transformed my life and those of my friends and family, it has wrought remarkable change throughhout the world, and it will inflict a shock with consequences that we are only beginning to realize.

Thirteen thousand people have died of COVID-19 in Canada as I write, and to my country's south well over 300 thousand have died in the United States, with a total of 1.6 million recorded deaths worldwide. This is not the least of it: Over at Quora, Franklin Veaux answering the question of just how a disease with a mortality rate of 1% could paralyze the United States. Even ignoring the terrible mortality that it inflicts, COVID-19 leaves many of its survivors with a host of disabilities.

Vaccines cannot come quickly enough. What will the world be like when an unprecedented global distribution of vaccines is finished, when COVID-19 becomes just another disease that we can handle? (I am struck, as a long-time student of HIV/AIDS, by the prominence of Dr. Anthony Fauci in the American and global efforts to deal with COVID-19; his new prominent appearance in the fight to deal yet another plague shows how history can rhyme strangely.) Mortality and long-term health of populations will be affected, but they will not be alone. Early signs are that the great instability and uncertainty wrought by COVID-19 has helped depressed fertility worldwide, for instance, while cross-border migration has been tamped down almost entirely. The future evolution of the world population has been marked in a way that is not going to disappear quickly.

Demography Matters will be there for it. This blog may stay on Blogger or go elsewhere (Medium looks interesting), but there remains a real need for blogs which take a look at population issues. Demography does indeed matter. Watch this space.

Pay attention to the way you eat as this can seriously impact on your digestive system. Adopt mindful eating techniques like chewing your food slowly, sitting down to eat and putting your knife and fork down between mouthfuls. Serve smaller portions of food in a single sitting and avoid eating too close to bedtime as this can encourage reflux and heartburn.

It helps to detox i.e. remove the toxicity, which helps in the treatment of headaches, bloating, fatigue, lower immune system. As this does not provide all the nutrients to the body so it shall not be continued for long, like more than 3-4 days. On the other hand, pregnant women, children and diabetics shall not go for detox diet.

Mein Zeugnis darüber, wie ich Mitglied der Illuminaten wurde. Ich möchte Leute kennen lernen, die sich den großen Illuminaten als großartiges Mitglied der Illuminaten anschließen wollen, die mich als großartiges Mitglied wollen. Sein Name ist Lord Felix Morgan. Hilf mir, mein Leben aus der Todesphase zurückzubekommen. Entlassung nach ca. 5 Jahren und 6 Monaten. Nachdem er von so vielen Mitgliedern der Illuminaten verraten wurde. Über die Jahre war ich hoffnungslos und finanziell am Boden. Aber eines Tages, als ich im Internet surfte, stieß ich auf den Beitrag des großen Mitglieds der Illuminaten, Lord Felix Morgan, und sagte, wenn Sie eines der großen Illuminati-Mitglieder wären, könnten Sie berühmt, reich und erfolgreich im Leben sein. Ich kontaktierte ihn und erklärte ihm alles und er empfahl die verwendete Registrierung und ich bezahlte für das große Mitglied, um loszulegen, und ich wurde in den Weltorden der Illuminaten eingeweiht. Danach gaben sie mir alle Richtlinien und ließen mich wissen, dass neue Mitglieder nach der Aufnahme mit der Summe von 1.000.000 $ in bar belohnt werden. Mit der Hilfe von Lord Felix Morgan. Ich wurde vollständig als Vollmitglied der Illuminaten eingeweiht. Wenn Ihr Rat lautet, dass Sie schon einmal einen Betrüger ausprobiert haben oder es sind, liegt es an mir, Ihnen dabei zu helfen, mitzumachen, also versuchen Sie es mit Lord Morgan. Es ist Ihre beste Chance, in Ihrem zukünftigen Leben das zu werden, was Sie wollen. Kontaktieren Sie ihn per WhatsApp +2348056051569 oder per E-Mail: Illuminatiofficial565@gmail.com
