Thailand hits new daily record with nearly 1,000 virus cases – The Washington Post

If the number of cases is still rising in two weeks, measures beyond the current restrictions on nightlife and longstanding social distancing rules will need to be put in place, said Dr. Sophon Iamsirithaworn, deputy director general of the Department of Disease Control.

Most of the recent cases have been traced to an outbreak that originated last month at several nightlife entertainment venues in Bangkok, Sophon said. He said people should be working from home and exercise vigilance.

Avian Flu Diary: FIOCRUZ Bulletin: Brazil’s Fastest Increase In COVID Cases/Deaths In Younger Adults

We saw early signs of this growing impact to a younger cohort two weeks ago, in Preprint: Sudden Rise In COVID-19 Case Fatality Among Young & Middle Aged Adults – Paraná, Brazil, which reported more than a 3-fold increase in deaths among COVID cases aged 20 to 29, compared to January, while deaths among those aged 30 to 49 roughly doubled.

Discipline and more

Excellent! “if not for the dissent, human evolution could well have been stunted.”

chapter18

Success, we often are told, is the product of a disciplined life. When the instinct to bypass the exacting routine is subdued and the impulse to defy the regimented schedule sublimated, success in any discipline is but guaranteed. Success is, thus, a structured outcome of a disciplined behaviour that can be practiced and perfected over a period of time. A student would be successful by following the rigours of her academic pursuit, a doctor by honing the skills on patient care and a body builder, through religious adherence to the workout regimen and the dietary supplements; a prerequisite to craft a chiselled frame. For success, as commonly understood, is a function of efficiency and that it is gained by repetitive performance of the same task over extended period, guaranteeing a mastery over it. And to achieve this degree of proficiency and thus success, discipline is absolutely vital.

Le fate del bosco

le pagine dei nostri libri

20170217_162925_resized

Anche quell’anno in primavera

le fate del bosco fecero fiorire

le primule che si trovarono, così,

abbracciate alle odorose verbene

ed all’edera sfrontata e vigorosa.

E quello stesso giorno il sole

riprese a vegliare su di te e raccolse

nella sua luce il tuo sconforto.

Lo trasportò lontano oltre

le terre infuocate, attraversando

la barriera di quelle ombre bizzarre

che si accatastavano scomposte

lungo i pontili scardinati di quel

maleodorante ed ombreggiato porto.

E fu un’aurora ardente

quella che capovolse il sole

ed albeggiò inebetita e luminosa

circondando ed intrecciando,

con puntiglio, la tua chioma

morbida e scontrosa.

My Rain Song

yaskhan

I was born with Spring in my veins.
Oceans and seas breathed their salt into me 
Giving my soul the sunshine
An orchid breath tinted cerise
A touch of water on my forehead
Letting my spirit roam emerald trees
Where winds played the violin as my song wandered, chasing the heartbeat of imagination...reaching me through clouds redolent with awakening blooms as they cradled diamond dew in their inflorescence.

My sky became gold to the rain song's melody electrifying sapphire rhapsody of silken raindrops rippling pitter patter like shooting stars finding their place on earth.

Blooms flame roseate
In the Abalone curve of horizon, I carve eternal lines 
My ink becomes stardust

The immortality of poetry--
A map of words
Connecting our pulse.

 “I posted so that you can see the disgrace that is occurring in Brazil …

Thousands of citizens dying every day in Covid19, starving without any effective help from this mismanagement, and this “gentleman” walking without a mask, speaking ill of others and inciting the people to kill themselves in the name of his madness and those who follow him …

If you can watch it, and read the comments of the fanatics who follow it … it’s worrying … ridiculous and worrying.

GENOCIDE AND LIAR “
