A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea.

The meaning of the proverb is that most of us see the world only through our limited perspective.

We tend to consider ourselves smarter and more important than we really are. But this is just something due to our ignorance of what’s out of our direct sight and experience.

We must always remember that we are a part of a bigger, interconnected Universe.

Let’s expand our knowledge, experience, and awareness.

Power returns to Lebanon after 24-hour blackout – BBC News

But even before the latest shutdown people were often receiving just two hours of electricity a day.

Saturday’s blackout meant the whole of Lebanon was depending on private diesel-powered generators for power.

These however have become increasingly expensive to run amid the lack of fuel, and cannot cover for the lack of a nationwide power grid.

The army has agreed to hand over some of its fuel to get the power stations working again until more can be imported.

Masks and more: life in society amid the fall of cases of Covid-19 – Mágica Mistura 能

With the drop in the number of deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19cities study flexibility of rules and relaxation in the use of masks But experts warn that the pandemic is not over yet and attitudes like this keep the virus’s circulation rate high. In the midst of this confusing scenario, how are the meetings between friends and family.

Confraternizing safely and without protection will only be possible when we reach collective immunity, when there are so many people immunized that the circulation of the virus drops dramatically. And that still has no date to happen. This is the first memory of doctors when talking about small or large fraternizations.

The numbers are improving, but experts hope that this level of security will only be achieved with more than 80% of the population vaccinated with both doses. Brazil is still at 45%.
