The Number of COVID 19 Cases is Misleading



In 2019, December China have announced about a new disease which is spreading across China rapidly and warned about the possibility that it has already reached other countries.

Starting from march most countries around the globe started taking the disease seriously. We started hearing about the confirmed cases in each country. In the beginning, it was relatively an accurate number but gradually the numbers started to be way far from the truth. We started to know more and more about Covid 19 and we realized how it is extremely contagious.

After a few months from entering a country, Covid 19 might infect hundreds of thousands or even millions of people depending on the population of the country and some other factors. At this point, hospitals stop taking tests for anyone. You need to be really sick to be considered for taking the test.

Gradually, the number of people who want to take the test skyrocket. Then they start to stop taking tests for even the people who are really sick. They just tell them to take certain medicines, vitamins and follow some steps to get recovered. This means that the announced number of confirmed cases is no longer accurate and actually it might be misleading. The real number might be double, triple or even twenty-fold the announced number. It is not because the authorities are not working properly, but it is out of control. They have to make difficult dicision and whatever they do they will be criticized.

I realized that often time, being optimistic is just a way of escaping the brutal truth. It is actually will make you less happy instead of more happy. Even too much positivity is bad for you.

The Chalisgaon Solar Panel Vandalism Incident: A Labor Protest Turned Viral

In 2018, a labor dispute at a solar farm in Chalisgaon, Maharashtra, India, escalated into an incident of vandalism, where frustrated workers destroyed solar panels. The workers were employed to construct and maintain a 100-megawatt solar project but took drastic action due to unpaid wages. Videos showed them smashing the panels with hammers and sticks in protest. Initially, some misinformation circulated online, suggesting that the destruction was motivated by superstitions, such as blaming the panels for causing droughts. However, fact-check investigations confirmed that the primary reason was non-payment of wages. The workers, angered by the delayed compensation, decided to damage the infrastructure as a form of protest. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities within labor management in large-scale infrastructure projects. The combination of financial mismanagement and lack of proper communication between workers and project administrators can lead to such severe reactions. The...

Why You Cannot Achieve More Than One Goal in The Same Period of Time

One of the most common traps people fall into is trying very hard to achieve more than one goal in the same period of time. They might be very motivated to master more than one skill so they create a schedule to help them work on all their goals in a daily basis. They keep working hard on multiple goals in the same time for months without getting a satisfying result. Then they start to question their strategy in learning each skill and change it and keep repeating the same cycle again. They start to work on one goal all the time but after two or three weeks they start to work in more than one goal and the cycle keep repeating.             What I mean by a goal or a skill in this post is something like, improving your academic performance, master a musical instrument, learn a language, have a good body shape, learn drawing, be a great engineer, be great writer, learn a coding language, …etc. These are just some examples but you ...
