benefits of covid restrictions

        The article that I read today titled “Should public health measures like masking continue beyond the pandemic? Data on viral infections shows their benefits” was written by Rutvij A. Khanolkar and Eddy S. Lang. The text talks about how covid 19 safety measures can prevent the spreading of other diseases.

               Although I think it is wonderful that all those limits introduced because of covid are causing a decrease in number of other respiratory illnesses, I am not very keen on continuing wearing masks. I think that I’m not the only one who is tired of the situation and simply wants to go back to some sort of normality. At the same time, as I mentioned earlier, I think that it is great information for older people or those with lung diseases. They can really profit from following restrictions (mentioning a noticeable decrease in hospital admissions for respiratory diseases in Canada can be enough to prove it, but on top of it a bigger study is being conducted).

    Most of Asia wear masks in public spaces as a routine so there's probably a point there.

 The article which I read today was written by Peter Rutland. This text is about a significant change in the everyday life of ordinary Russians caused by sanctions. While I understand that all of those limits imposed on Russia are meant to end the war as fast as possible I keep thinking about a common person from Russia facing them. It is obvious that if the country’s economy collapses standard of living there also changes dramatically. Prices are soaring and everyday life isn’t getting harder for individuals but also for all kinds of businesses. I feel pity for those people, mainly because I would be scared if I were in their position. But we have to remember the purpose of sanctions.  Although Russia’s citizens didn’t really hurt anyone they have to feel a change to start protesting and putting pressure on authorities to stop military operations. I think that over time more and more Russians will protest and will demand to hold the government accountable.  Also in com...

evolution

                  The artic le which I have just read was written by Nicholas R. Longrich and is an answer for reader’s question about humans future.                 The author of this text presents his speculations about our future evolution. I can fully agree that our life expectancy will expand through the time. As we invent more medications and cure more diseases we can expect to live longer. Although the assumption of people getting taller surprised me, I understand that given our rising length of life we will grow higher. The author’s speculations related not only to our physical appearance but also our intelligence and personality. The possibility of evolving to the point where we will have less psychological problems really makes me hopeful for a better future . Mental health is often forgotten in our everyday life. The vision of people being  “immune” t...

John Keats's poems of death and los youth

  Recently I read an article titled "John Keats: how his poems of death and lost youth are resonating during COVID-19" by Richard Marggraf-Turley. The text was mainly about the life and works of this artist, but a lot can be concluded from it. Keats, practically all his life, was a witness of death, mental illnesses, and suffering. He reflected it in his works. And even after 200 years, they are more current than ever. Everybody can now experience emotions about which John Keats wrote. In times of pandemic, especially people my age, are losing their youth and time to experience new things. Quarantine also isn't a stranger to us and the poet.  I think that we can agree with Keats that it is affecting us in a bad way. We, as he said in his letters, are feeling depressed. I think that the author of the article captured and translated to pandemic times poems of Keats. https://theconversation.com/john-keats-how-his-poems-of-death-and-lost-youth-are-resonating-during-covid-...
