CT Scan


Lately I’ve read an article about how a CT scan can uncover cancerous lung tumours when they are at an early enough stage so they can still be removed. Lung cancer is very dangerous and hard to diagnose, so experts expect that goverment will bring in routine CT scanning of smokers and ex-smokers in order to cut the huge death toll from lung cancer. 

I think that it’s a wise idea, because many people now a days aren’t interested in their own health and they downplay the possible symptoms of a dangerous disease. Besides they think that something like that cannot touch them personally. But making routine examinations is really important and sometimes we should even force our family and friends to the them, for their own good. After all, it's better to pay for one visit to the doctor than a few years of chemotherapy caused by our ignorance.

    Still, I'd focus more on making smoking an unfashionable and prohibitively expensive habit. Smokers should be ostracised and excluded from the company of other people as they harm others, not just themselves.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 6

 I’ve read an article about domestic violence. The text talked about the maltreatment of man against women and the passivity of the police. It sounds pretty horryfing. Maybe the number of women who were murdered because of their partners is not high, but why is it not dropping? Why the police is doing literally nothing event they have evidence of violence? Also a creepy fact is that the punishments for doing such a thing are really mild and most of the perpetrators do not even receive them. The article mentions a woman who was killed by her husband while sleeping. Before that situation the neighbors dialled for help but the police did nothing and it was the main reason why that woman died. Because of ignorance and passivity. What else we can do when even someone like police officers do not care about our safety? Maybe not to have any relationships or carry a knife whenever we are surrounded by other people? It sounds ridiculous but I have no better idea how to be safe on our own

Soap and viruses- Is social distancing that we all have to practise now is difficult or easy for you?

For me social distancing is a little bit difficult, because I don't have any kind of physical contact with somebody in my age. Of course staying at home for over a dozen days was really great, but when the prohibitions appeared that we can't go out and meet friends, it became harder. Videochats and online lessons it's not the same as face to face meeting. Although we recently had an Easter, and we couldn't go to our families, because of this virus. That's why for me and for most people staying at home is very hard.
