Sperm donors vs human milk donors - another injustice against women

-
Image
 Indian culture is ant-women though it is a taboo to talk about this fact. Laws also do not support truly. There is something else written and something else said and done.  Women are usually put on more manual jobs and paid less. They are rarely given leadership jobs though they could have been better leaders of the hurdles in their lives were abolished.  Now coming to sperm donation vs human milk donation. If you see both, and think on those, you will realise that human milk donation is much more valuable and useful. Yet, human milk donors are either not paid or are paid less. But sperm donors are always paid and paid more. Why this difference???? Read: How to eat idlis? Law fails to help these mothers who I would say are exploited in the name of humanity. When sperm donation and surrogacy are compensated, why not human milk donation be compensated at par??? A food for thought!!!

The WHO-led team visits Wuhan wet market for investigation of the origin of coronavirus!

-

 The origin of coronavirus is being investigated by a WHO-led team. Experts visited the Huanan market on Sunday 31 January 2021 as part of their investigation to get the truth about how coronavirus pandemic started. The market was heavily barricaded for the visit. 

The official visit of Huanan market in Wuhan

Huanan market in Wuhan is considered the start point of the coronavirus pandemic that engulfed the world. It is a wholesale seafood wet market situated in China in Wuhan. WHO-led experts on an investigation trial visited this market amidst tight security. There was a high blue fence placed around the market. Additional barricades were outside this fence. The experts arrived and stayed for an hour. Later, they left in a convoy. They did not give any press conference to the gathered journalists.

Experts and details of their China visit

The experts arrived in China around 2 weeks back and were in self-isolation before they commenced their investigation. They have done trips of markets, hospitals, and an exhibition that revealed how Wuhan successfully controlled the viral spread with 76 days of lockdown. The population of Wuhan is around 11 million. One of the team members Peter Daszak tweeted:

"Very important site visits today - a wholesale market first & Huanan Seafood Market just now. Very informative & critical for our joint teams to understand the epidemiology of COVID as it started to spread at the end of 2019,"

But China has restricted the movement and meeting of the team members. They cannot visit or talk to community members due to health reasons. 

The trip itinerary

There has been no release of any trip itinerary. But the members would be there for 2 weeks. Also journalists have not been allowed near the team. The market is still closed since the start of 2020. It was originally a bustling place selling vegetables, meat, and seafood. But now it is a thing of the past. It stands as a memory of the pandemic and an epicenter of it. 4 cases of mysterious pneumonia were linked to this market and the government shut it on 31 December 2019. By end of January 2020, lockdown began in Wuhan. 

The verbal fight between China and the USA over coronavirus origin and access concerns delayed the probe. Now that it has started, the world is eagerly waiting for the results!!!

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
