What is the connection between delirium and cognitive impairment caused by COVID-19?

(Image: Wikipedia/Delirium tremens)

The reason why delirium tremens is improving the dangers of the COVID-19 is not so surprising that we might think. Delirium tremens is a disease caused by alcoholism. Many times we forget that alcoholic people are not eating very well. They might have very few vitamins in their food. Or they are eating so badly that they are malnourished. And otherwise, the bacteria in their alimentary canal is disturbing. 

This thing makes the body impossible to receive vitamins. Some alcoholics have bad health conditions and other diseases like cirrhosis or cancer. Along with a lower immune defense, that thing offers the perfect platform for viruses to infect that person. And along with low nutrient levels, those things can cause that the COVID-19 infection will be worse than in other cases. 

The use of drugs and especially injected drugs can cause HIV infection and that thing makes every virus and other infections worse than in the case of a so-called normal person who has no vitamin deficiency that passivates immune defense. Or whose immune defense is not busy for some other viruses like Hepatite B. In that case, the immune cells are working with other viruses. And they have no time to start the fight against COVID-19. 

Humans, like all other mammals, have bacteria in the intestine. And the purpose of those bacteria is to handle the nutrient and separate important parts of it for the cells. If those bacteria will be destroyed the person would die because of hunger. In that case, the body just cannot use the nutrient, even if the person eats just like should be eaten. But people who have delirium might not eat enough vitamins at all. 

They might eat mostly meat and sausages. There is also the possibility that those people would not go to coronavirus tests if they feel sick.  And there is also the possibility that they will not take rest in the case of fewer. Along with bad habits like cigarette smoking and especially smoking the same cigarettes with other people and drinking from the same bottles with other people will increase the speed of the spread of the epidemic. 

When we are thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic we must say that there is the possibility that we ever get the complete numbers of the infected persons. There are lots of people who are not going to tests even if they are sick. And in Africa and the Middle East is possible many people don't even know about the COVID-19. Or they have better things to do than going to tests. 

But in the western world, some people are ever thinking about things like COVID-19. Those people are left outside society. They are using drugs and living in their world. We see them all the time, but somehow we cannot force them to test.

Thoughts about the movie "Aliens"

Thoughts about the movie "Aliens"

Aliens could be the thing that biotechnology and greed would cause to human beings. The idea of this movie, where the Earth has been lost contact with a distant colony, and soldiers would send to find out what was happened in there. Then they arrived at the planet where Aliens have destroyed the colony on planet LV-217 and then the rest of the movie is only the shooting around.

This is the second part of the saga, where Ellen Ripley, who was acted Sigourney Weaver has faced the alien, strange creature, what would transfer fetus in the human stomach, and that creature or xenomorph would kill the host. The blood of that, I hope, the fictional organism is full of enzymes, what would melt the steel and make the killing of those creatures really dangerous and also difficult. The thing in that movie, the excitement is in, who is the next host of Aliens, what are very superior.

But when we are thinking that movie, we might think that the topics are taken from the very first British Colony in America, and the name of that colony was Roanoke in 1585. In 1887 the last ship visited in that colony. Every people in Roanoke was lost, when the British came back in 1590, and that story is a very big mystery in history. Some people believe that those first colonialists were killed in purpose.

And when we are thinking about the Indian culture, no living European has seen pure versions of those cultures, because they were influenced by Europeans. Or actually, no European ever told stories about the Indian culture in Europe.

The war between Indians and colonialists made sure that the only information about those cultures has been battle reports. And of course, Pizarro and Cortez told their stories, but Pizarro was hung after he conquered Inca-state, and the reason for that was the murder or playing vice king. Cortez was observing Indians behind his rifle, and that means that he ever spoke a single word with those people.

So when we are thinking that story and the Aliens movie, the thing is that this case has brought one really interesting though, and that was that could the company kill those colonialists in purpose. And when the Ripley came back on the planet, it was already changed. So this kind of thing is an impressive idea of the imagination and history, which can be connected.

 The thing is that this movie would bring in the mind a very brutal and feared idea, what the bio- and genetic engineering would allow people to do. When we are thinking that kind of colonies, the personnel, who would be working there could be selected from handicapped people.

That thing would make sure that those people or aliens would ever tell, where they would be coming from. And those colonialists might be genetically engineered, which means that their brains would be abridged, and those people would be controlled by using implanted microchips or electromagnetic radiation for making their work. Also in the control would be used as the subliminal command system that tells those individuals, what to do. So this is one version of the dystopia of the people away from home.

Why Saudi-Arabian air defense is ineffective against drones?

Why Saudi-Arabian air defense is ineffective against drones?

Saudi-Arabian air defense was ineffective against drones, and that means that the military specialists must take drones more serious than ever before. Even a child can buy small-size RC-aircraft, and then put the gas bottle and explosive in it. The thing what makes drones very effective is that they can slip near targets, and then launch against it from close range. Those home-made cruise missiles can flight to target in a couple of seconds, and then cause very bad damages in the places like oil refineries.

In worst scenarios commando- or terrorist team would slip drones near the airfields and use them against aircraft. The thermobaric explosives, what is installed in the jet-engined RC-planes can cause serious damages to airplanes and their support systems, and the reaction time against that kind of attacks might be the only couple of seconds.

The thing is that in that kind of target even small-size explosive can cause extreme bad damages if the explosive is destroying the gas line when the entire plant can blow away. So this is one point to see things, and the problem with this kind of systems is that they are so cheap and small-sized. Those drones are hard to detect even in daylight, and if the target is some kind of factory, the noise of the engines can be covered by the noise of machines.

So in those cases, when the target is a chemical factory, fuel or explosives storage or something like that, the explosive, what hits the target must not be big. And that will cause serious problems with security. When we are thinking about air defense systems, the missiles what costs millions of dollars are ineffective against drone swarms, and one target for small drones can be the anti-aircraft missiles themselves.

The thing is that drone is easy to destroy even by using a shotgun if that thing is noticed and located. But the drone, what length is about 50 cm is not very easy to see, and they can use as the swarms. And here we must say that drone-swarms might be used in many ways. One version is that the drone is pulling the aluminum banderols behind it, and this way it can play normal airplane.

Along with holographic systems that drone might look like the strategic bomber and that forces enemy shoot their missiles against that drone, what costs about 200 euros. If we are thinking drones as the new kind of cruise missiles, the mission of those weapons might destroy the radars and missiles. In the worst scenarios, thousands of drones would drop in the operational area, and their mission would destroy the radars and missile batteries, and cheat enemy to shoot off their missiles.

That will open the skies for heavy bombers and traditional airplanes. So drones can operate as the pathfinders, what mission is to suppress enemy air defense and cause false alarms. When we are thinking about drones as the element of the battlefield, they are only one system, what operates in that field.

Of course, traditional air defense systems are needed, but the thing is that the target drones, what are aircraft which are removed from service and ordered to destroy by missiles can be used in nasty purposes. Those drones can send to the hostile airspace and they can be equipped with the systems, what are recording the radar and communication signals and transmit them to opposite side headquarters, what can benefit that data for adjusting systems and develop tactics against enemy systems and targets. Also, those drones can be used in operations against radar stations and other heavily defended targets. That means those drones can make kamikaze-attacks against targets, and the loss of those planes means nothing.

The international cooperation for anti-crime work is really important

The international cooperation for anti-crime work is really important

Below this text is a link to an article, where is told that the pander can forward the sex worker to a client by sitting at the foreign land. And the same thing is working in every other type of criminal activities. The leader of the criminal organization can control the henchmen by using social media applications and even order them to carry GPS and social media location tools, while they are doing something on the street. 

They can order they henchmen record their discussions, and when they are giving orders, those people are many times in the foreign land.  And those leaders of the gang can also make virtual conferences when they are communicating with other criminals. The leadership of the modern criminal organization is a dangerous job. People are more tolerated for sexual aberrations than ever before, so just homosexual relationships are not the thing, what would be an effective weapon in the hands of the criminal organizations.

There must be something more, and that kind of things is a dirty business. If a person has heterosexual behavior, that is a little bit different proving that thing is very difficult because the photographer must be in those parties of in bedroom for taking the pictures. And if the pander or targeted person uses the under-age prostitutes, that means the criminal prosecution process also for them. If every one of those persons is full aged and adult, there would be no crime, even if there would be played some whip games.

Law enforcement and other government officials have skills and ability to catch the data transmissions from the Internet, and also people are using social media very careless way, and that means there is visible many things, what normal people should not see. Of course, the operator of the sex business can use social media applications for ordering the strippers to some parties, and the thing is that those people are offered the same style of service to the newspapermen, that they would tell people, how nice men some motorcyclists are. 

The normal action procedure of the criminal organizations is, that they hire prostitutes to please the important persons, and then the pictures of those parties would be used as the blackmailing. The problem is that in the modern world the information travels very high speed. And if the person is careless, the wrong images would be leaked to social media. What would you think, if some governmental official sees in Facebook or some YouTube video the boss of the criminal organization going in some vehicle, where the registration plates are visible.

Or some henchman, who is violated sees things like Eiffel tower outside the window of the office, where the film or communicate has been sent. And if the henchman, who is operating with the camera or sits another side of the Internet sees the mistake, would that person tell some mafia-boss, that there was a mistake?

The city of Pompeii, and the eruption of Mount. Vesuvius

The city of Pompeii and the eruption of Mount. Vesuvius


1. Why the city of Pompeii name was not changed, when Caesar won Pompey, because Pompeii has a similar name with Pompey?

One of the most interesting thing in the name of Mount Vesuvius is could that mountain named after some ancient Roman warlord. There are long traditions about this name, but as you know, the name of that volcano seems like some Roman noblemen name, so could it be possible that in a long time before the fatal day on 24 August 79 AD.

The city was named for the enemy of Caesar, and the question is, why Romans didn't change its name. The city has an autonomic position in the Roman empire, and when it was surrounded in 89 BC.  every people of that town got Roman citizenship. The story of the road to that point began in the year 290 BC. , when that city was forced to take the position as "socii" with linguistic and administrative autonomy.

2. Why Lucius Cornelius Sulla show mercy to that town?

And after the war in 89 BC. those people got Roman Citizenship, and the question is, why Romans didn't punish that city about the rebellion? They were given many punishments and killed people for smaller actions, so why Romans show mercy for that city? During that action, the city was besieged by Sulla, who was not very well known about mercy and sensitive attitude against his enemies. Read all story of Pompeii from the link below this line.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii

When we are looking at the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, we are seeing one strange detail. Was there any family members of those people, who lived in Pompeii, who would come to search them? The city was forgotten soon after the famous eruption in  79 AD. And the thing is, why there were no people, who would keep in contact with those people, who lived in Pompeii.

Below this text is a link to the fine animation, what shows, how and when the Mount Vesuvius erupted, and the question is, why those people didn't even try to escape? And in the animation is one very interesting detail, what how the entire city can wipe out from the ground, and nobody misses those people? Didn't any captain of the ships tell that the harbor of that town, was not where it should be?

3. Why there was not even treasury hunting like in Egypt?

And didn't Romans even try to dig those people out from the volcanic ash? Or what was the reason, why the entire city disappear in history? So who were those people, who lived in Pompeii, and why nobody misses them?  The thing what makes this case interesting is that there were two cities near Mount Vesuvius, which disappears from the ground.

When we are looking at the history, Romans made tunnels to the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii, and they stole gold and other merchandise, but there were no systematic rescue actions in this area. Maybe the explanation of the leaving those areas can be found from the Roman religion.

4. Why there were no systematic attempts to rescue people?

Because of the eruption was happen in the day, when Romans celebrated the god (or goddess) of fire, Volcanalia, the reason for the destruction of those cities might be thought to be that those people were a disappointment for that god.  When we are thinking about the name of Mount Vesuvius, we might guess the origin of that name, and sometimes I have thought that was the name of that mountain given for honor of some ancient Roman warlord?

But even today we cannot realize, why there were not made even treasury hunting in that area until 19th. century. And even today there are large areas of those towns, what remains under the ash. And many of uncovered areas are not properly documented.

5. Why nobody missed those people? 

Of course, Roman religion was different than us, and maybe they thought that Mount Vesuvius or the god of fire was unhappy because of the gifts, who knows the reason, why both cities were left under the ash. But I still imagine, why people didn't try to escape?

They have to see that everything was not fine, and if they were guarded their expensive merchandise in that situation, we must ask what they did on a normal day? Did those people take their gold with them, when they went to work?

Or did they all work at home? And in fact, the thing is that those people might be seen that there was something wrong,  and in that time people should know about volcanoes because in the Roman empire is active volcanic like Mount Stromboli and Mount Etna, and they should know, that when the mountain starts to keep voice, there is possibility that they were buried in the ash.
