It is all about the senseless and meaningless death of George Floyd. He was a lone and helpless black man apparently killed by white cops in a peaceful arrest in a supposed non-violent crime. Most shockingly, it happened at a time when the world is supposed to be moving towards the general direction of tolerance, understanding, and equality. What happened is dreadful beyond imagination. George Floyd is black and he died due to methods that are perceived to have been deliberately inflicted by white police officers. Arrested for an alleged non-violent crime, he suffered a gruesome death. While Floyd’s and the cops' skin colors may have not have been a factor in the way they treated one another, the line being used by protested strongly surmise otherwise. He was lying on his belly, hands cuffed behind him, pinned by three white officers with one using his body weight and knee to pin his neck to the pavement. He was begging that the knee be released, that he cannot breathe, but...

This is a developing story. Please stay tuned for updates . Such a beautiful place now being threatened by violence. There's the Covid19 problem that's yet to be resolved. Please keep the peace by restraining yourselves from doing anything that will endanger more people. Here's what we know, so far: China's National People's Congress has authorized a committee to draft a national security law that will assert the country's sovereignty over the former British colony. Such a move caused fear and anger to the residents of Hong Kong, having been used to many decades of democratic rule starting when the British governed the territory. Despite immense danger posed by the Covid19 pandemic, protests happened and it is very likely that more will happen in the coming days. "Hong Kong and its dynamic, enterprising and free people have flourished for decades as a bastion of liberty, and this decision gives me no pleasure," Mike Pompeo,...

On May 5, 2020 , the Nasdaq 100 Futures fell by 0.8% and eventually leveled off at 0.4% after reports came out that Donald Trump is preparing an executive order that will threaten IT businesses, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google.  According to reports, the Trump EO will command a review of a controversial law that spares tech companies from liabilities brought about by comments, videos and posts of multimedia users in their web platforms. The existing law, known as Section 230 , allows tech companies to police their own ranks without fear of lawsuits. Making the tech companies (like Facebook) liable for content posted by billions of users will have a tremendous effect in the way current business is being practiced. Simple speculation that Section 230 will be repealed was enough to make investors panic and withdraw their money. Vicious social media posts, comments, and other contents heavily targeted Trump through the years. However, he also relies on s...

I believe that 2 meters are not sufficient enough to keep the corona virus from a host to another person. On a windy a cough or sneeze can easily send droplets several meters away and infect more than one other person.  I suggest that the government reviews this part of the public guidelines and issue a revision.  Covid19 isn't like SARS. It seems quite determined to stay.

In some countries, like Japan, it may be normal to see people going about their business while wearing face masks. There are, however, countries where the face mask is frowned upon if the one wearing it is in perfect health. In this time of Corona, wearing face masks and other protective devices had become a fashion trend. Rightfully so! Covid19 can travel on air for several meters as aerosol droplets and infect people. So other than face masks and social (physical distancing), may I recommend that you stay home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, if possible.  Doing so will protect you from getting infected and will also keep others from being infected by you. Please bear in mind that a lot of infected people are asymptomatic.

It's been a while but I'm back! This Covid19 fiasco that's attacking human race made me go back to what I really love doing- to communicate with people through my blog. There's a lot to talk about these daysso stay tuned!
