R going up

The Covid19 virus is still around and infecting many people. Here in the UK we measure the transmission rate as "R". If the R rate is above 1 then the epidemic is growing in size because each person infected is infecting more than one person on average. 

Right now the "R" rate is above one, I think it is 1.3. This means that some people are infecting more than one person on average. If the "R" was at 2 then we would be in trouble because the epidemic would grow twice as big every 2 weeks. 

I wonder what will happen in winter when there is less sunlight to destroy the virus particles. The ultraviolet light in the sun destroys viruses, but the days are getting shorter all the time and eventually we will be in winter, this means we will have more active virus particles everywhere. 

Radiation reality

A very common conversation I have with people is their concern about radio transmitters, they claim that radio transmitters cause cancer and alter our minds. They are very concerned about radiation and think that many diseases are connected to it including the Corona virus infections. 

I tell those people that most radiation you will receive in your life comes from your own body. The tissues in your body transmit infra red radiation in large amounts. Your body is literally shining like a super trooper stage lamp in a light that is slightly wider than the cells in your eyes so you can't see it, but it is there. 

Then they say radio waves are more dangerous than infra red waves and I say no, all frequencies of radio waves are much wider than infra red waves so they collide with your cells less often. Also ultra violet waves from the sun are about a third the width of your retina cells and they disintegrate as soon as they touch your cells so they release all their energy in just a few millimeters of tissue and that causes much more radiation so you should be more worried about sun light than radio waves. Turning a light bulb on in your home is more hazardous than all the radio waves that are around us. And no one worries about the sun which transmits radiation that is dangerous to our bodies. 

Think about it....

Watching crafts

It is spring 2020 and I will call it the lockdown Spring because many countries around the planet have imposed a lockdown to stop covid19 spreading. People can't leave their homes freely. Here in Britain we are only allowed outside to work, get food and go to hospital, essential things like that. 

For me the best way to get through a lockdown is to go on youtube and watch people make things. I love to watch people make lamps and tables using Epoxy resin and to make clever little things out of plastic bottles, stuff like that. I also love to write blog entries and make my own drawings, I rarely share them but do like to draw pictures, by my own standards my artwork is in need of improvement but that is the wonder of having such a hobby, seeing how much better you can be. 

I will write out some lockdown keywords for youtube to help you my friend get through this pandemic. They are ...

The beauty of this list is that you don't need sound. You can play it with the sound off if you have a baby sleeping nearby. 

Keep your chin up and try not to think about the chaos that is happening all around you. 

May God keep us safe. 

Current state

If I were to describe the world today I would say it was very much like a woman in labour. Distressing events pulsate through the world and they are all coordinated as if they were connected by one body with one distress. This Year in winter it rained incessantly for 3 months until the rivers could no longer cope and overflowed in old world continents like Europe. At the same time in the new world continents like south America and Australia there was very large bush and forest fires. Then there was a vast locust swarm that consumed many people's crops and at the same time a virus called Covid19 emerged and spread around the world and caused companiess assets and stocks to be less valuable while killing many people.

The whole planet is connected in ways that I don't understand and everything seems to work together as one. 

It is like a big event is about to happen that will change the world forever.
