Fighting against viruses



Fighting against viruses 

1) The vital element is the right diagnosis

One of the things, that we should understand, when we are under threat of corona is that this is not the only thing, that can cause infections. The thing is that normal tests should also be done when people are coming to the emergency. A good example of the things, where the wrong predictions caused deaths was the case of Great Britain, where malaria patients were diagnosed as Ebola patients, and that kind of thing causes deaths.

The thing in many of these kinds of viruses is that the first symptoms are similar to influenza, and that thing can cause really bad things if people are too hurry. When we are thinking about the measurement of the equipment against epidemics, we must understand that the nursery staff must also be protected against viruses. So this is the major thing in the control of epidemics.

2) Creating vaccines and medicals against viruses

There are five ways to create vaccines or medicals against viruses. But the last two are almost purely theoretical level.

2.1) The synthetically produced virus proteins

Synthetically produced proteins, which are similar to virus proteins, which is hoped to activate the immune system. That method is not always very effective, because the proteins should be exactly similar to the virus proteins. And this is the reason, why this kind of thing is extremely difficult to make.

2.2)"Killed viruses"

The genomes of those viruses have been destroyed, and the core protein would be hoped to launch an immune reaction. This is one of the most common ways to vaccinate people.

The problem is that the entire genome of the viruses must be destroyed because the "living viruses" can cause infection. So the production of vaccines must be made by using very high accuracy.

2.3) "Living viruses"

This kind of vaccination has a very big risk, that the virus causes infection. The idea is to inject a few viruses, which have normal genomes inside it. And if there are too many viruses that kind of vaccine causes infection.

So sometimes that kind of method to vaccinate people is used to cause the "controlled infection", what mission is to cause the resistance against that thing.

2.4) Antiviral medicals 

These medicals are the antibodies, what is formed other species' immune system. The principle of this kind of medicals is that the researchers are trying to find the species or individuals, what has the immune resistance against some virus, and then they try to isolate the antibodies from the blood of those species.

Or the immune cells of resistant individuals would be cultured, and the viruses would use to stress those cells. That method is also used in cases when resistant species are used to produce antibodies. That stress can be made by using the "killed viruses". This might be the next generation solution for infections. But as you might see this kind of medicals is at the test level.

2.5) Nanotechnology

And of course, the nanotechnology can answer many problems with viruses. But the problem with nanomachines is that controlling those systems is difficult. And if the nanomachines are released to the human body, they can turn the entire person to slime.

So this is the reason, why nanotechnology is the futuristic way to cure the epidemics. The idea is that rotor-looking nanomachine would just cut the genome of the viruses in bites, and the problem is that this kind of system is difficult to control. For the bacteria, the nanomachines could be effective, because they can be equipped with the enzyme, which drives them inside the bacteria.

The enzyme benefits the bacteria's ingestion process, and when the nanomachine would start to rotate, it destroys the genomes and organs in the bacteria. But the problem is that viruses don't have own energy production, and that means that the ingestion cannot use in this case to drive nanomachine to action against the organism. One version of this technology is that the nanomachines would find the infected cell, and then destroy it along with the genome of the viruses. But for success, the system must be very fast-reacting, and this means, this kind of thing are the systems of the future.

3) The most effective way to fight against viruses is the vaccine. 

If we want to use the vaccine, that thing must be created against the specific virus, and this is the major problem in the handling of epidemics. Before infections are impossible to create vaccines, and the vaccines that are created to use against other viruses are ineffective.

And when the vaccines are created, the production of it must be really fast, and the vaccination must be started immediately. That would be the key element to limit the epidemics.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
