“The government lied. They lied about everything”: A historian on what went wrong in 1918. “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” That was President Trump’s response when asked by a CNBC reporter on January 22 whether he was worried about the coronavirus. Almost two months later, with the threat too large to ignore, the president’s tone has shifted dramatically (even as his press briefings continue to be models of incoherence and inaccuracy). The contradictory messages about the virus, and the dishonesty motivating them, is dangerous right now. Refusing to tell people the truth will cost lives because it undercuts our efforts to flatten the epidemic curve with practices like social distancing. It also erodes the public’s trust in government — and that’s a huge problem. The biggest lesson of the 1918 influenza epidemic, according to historian John M. Barry,...

The Ex-Mp of Egypt has come out to say something that sounds hilarious and in some ways true to the general public. #It's brought back humanity. #Brought back people to their Creator and to their morals. #It closed down bars, night clubs, brothels, casinos #It brought down interest rates. #Brought families together. #Stopped lewd behaviour. #It has stopped people eating dead and forbidden animals. #So far it has moved one third of military expenditure to health care. #Arab countries have banned shisha, #Coronavirus is pushing people to make Du’a #It undermines dictators and their powers #Humans are now worshipping God rather than progress and technology. #It is forcing authorities to look at its prisons and prisoners. #It has taught humans how to sneeze, yawn and cough as was taught by our ...

Sometimes, blessings come in disguise. Contrary to popular belief, Coronavirus has benefited the world in some ways. May the Lord bring it to a stop soon and heal the infected in jiffy. 1. Coronavirus has exposed our weakness and revealed our helplessness. We're all subject to Allāh's will and design. We're vulnerable; we live by His mercy. 2. It has humbled us and depicted our interdependence. 3. Mankind is one nation; we must be our brothers' keepers. Whatever afflicts one can affect all. Mutual protection and love is key to our survival and prosperity. 4. Africa is not always the origin of bad diseases; this horrible disease has emanated from the East and Europeans are the worst hit and its carriers to Africa. Color of skin does not make anyone superior to another. Superiority lies in responsibility and fear of God. 5. The most technologically advanced nation is the worst hit and the most confused. All powers belong to All...

Turmeric is a flowering plant, Curcuma longa of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, with roots used in cooking. Turmeric as a spice comes from the turmeric plant. It is commonly used in Asian food. You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry. It is characterized with a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavour or colour curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. Apart from serving as a spice, turmeric root is also used widely to make medicine. It contains a yellow-coloured chemical called curcumin, which is often used to colour foods and cosmetics. With turmeric known to offer a lot of health benefits, it might sound unbelievably ridiculous that this wonderful plant also has side effects, but then, there’s really nothing without a side effect, especially when its use is abused. There’s no doubt turmeric tops the list as one of the most frequently mentioned medicinal herbs in all of science, with a long history of use, particularly in Ayurvedi...

A PhD student in the Department of Chemistry, University of Ilorin, Misitura Arowona, has developed a drug that promises to be potent in the treatment of tuberculosis, an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs. The University of Ilorin Bulletin, on Monday, stated that the student, who is being supervised by Prof. Joshua Obaleye, former Dean, Faculty of Science of Unilorin, is currently undergoing a sandwich fellowship at the Faculty of Science of The Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU), Vadodara, India. The metal attached anti-TB drug developed by Arowona, has improved the efficiency of the anti-TB drugs compared to normal drugs that are consumed globally. It said that Nigeria was among the 14 high burden countries for TB, TB/HIV and multi-drug resistant TB. “The country is ranked seventh among the 30 high TB burden countries and second in Africa and the problem of TB in Nigeria has been made worse by the issues of drug resistant TB and the HIV/AIDS. ...

Washington on Tuesday became the first US state to legalise human composting after its eco-friendly governor signed a bill to that effect in a bid to cut carbon emissions from burials and cremations. Under the new law that will go into effect in May of next year, people who die in the state will have the option to have their bodies transformed into soil suitable for use in gardening in a process called recomposition. “Recomposition offers an alternative to embalming and burial or cremation that is natural, safe, sustainable, and will result in significant savings in carbon emissions and land usage,” said Katrina Spade, who lobbied for the law and is the founder of Recompose, a Seattle-based company set to be the first to offer the service. “The idea of returning to nature so directly and being folded back into the cycle of life and death is actually pretty beautiful,” Spade added in a statement sent to AFP. She said she became interested in the process about 10 yea...

For the majority of people, honey is a must-have product at home. Not only does it have loads of health benefits, but you can also use it to treat some ailments as well as make face masks for a smooth blemish free skin and even exfoliate your lips. However, unbeknownst to many people, there’s fake honey being sold in the supermarkets. Some vendors are mixing honey with water and other things such as glucose so that they can have more honey in their batch.  To be quite honest, pure honey does not come cheap and it’s a shame that you might be spending a lot of money on what you think is pure honey but is not. If you buy honey from out of town, in areas popular with bee keeping and bee farming, it’s likely that you will get pure honey.  However, honey bought from the streets or from hawkers and the likes, is likely adulterated honey, which will not give you any of the benefits that you were hoping to get in the first place. That said, we have compiled a few easy ...

Beans is a food class consumed by most individuals for various purposes and in different forms as pleasing as it comes.  Beans are full of fiber and protein, packed with nutrients and have many health benefits including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. However, many people avoid eating beans because of a well-known side effect; flatulence. Beans cause flatulence because they contain a sugar that our bodies cannot break down.  When these sugars hit the large intestine, bacteria in the colon ferments them, causing gas and bloating. There are several cooking tips, however, to help prevent gas from beans: ✓ If cooking dry beans, soak them for at least 8 hours prior to cooking.  ✓ Add little baking soda to the soaking water not only reduces bloating but also speeds up cooking time. Rinse well before cooking.  ✓ If cooking canned beans, rinse well before cooking.  ✓ Adding a teaspoon of fennel seeds to beans while cooki...

A throat infection, that has killed 12 people, is spreading across Essex, with 32 cases of invasive Group A streptococcal (also known as GAS, or Strep A) having been recorded so far. This disease has being reported to be passed on by kissing, sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.   The outbreak began in Braintree, Essex, but has also been detected in nearby Chelmsford and Maldon. The infection is a 'common bug found on the skin, in the throat and in the genitals,' said Clinical Director at  London Doctors Clinic , Dr Preethi Daniel. It can be spread by kissing and close contact. Dr. Preethi explains that Strep A is 'not a different or new bug', but has proven so deadly because the recent outbreak has manifested as a blood infection that has been spread in quick succession. 'Invasive GAS refers to an infection and is essentially sepsis, a blood infection,' the doctor says. 'Just like sepsis, it can be deadly if not treated in time and can...

According to most dieting advice, bread especially white bread is the devil. They encourage bran instead of whole wheat while others go ahead and encourage you to toss the whole lot. Should you completely eliminate bread from your diet? Here are 5 things that happen when you stop eating bread. 1. You lose water weight Carbs are stored in the body in the form of glycogen. Each gram of carbohydrate stores three to four times its weight in water. Cutting the carbs will therefore reduce the water weight. 2. You feel like you have the flu Cutting carbs- which are a source of energy- will cause your body to start using fat reserves to get energy. You end up with bad breath, dry mouth, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, and brain fog. 3. You increase or decrease your chances of getting Diabetes. Refined carbs increase the levels of fatty acid that increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Eating whole grains on the oth...

Recall that we posted some time ago about the harms and implications of using the cotton bud. There is an old but popular saying that goes, “You shouldn’t put anything in your ears smaller than your elbow.” This should also include cotton buds because the cotton buds that most of us use to clean wax out of our ears are a lot more harmful than helpful. Read Reason: Why Cotton Bud Is Dangerous For the Ears When you use cotton buds for your ears, you actually end up pushing most of the wax deeper into the canal instead of digging it out the way it is supposed to. In addition, if you dig too deep, you can actually wind up puncturing your eardrum. As gross as it may seem, having earwax is actually a good thing because it helps lubricate the ear canals and keep them functioning properly. Earwax also keeps bugs from crawling inside our ears, and prevents fungus from growing around our eardrums. The ear is good at cleaning itself but if you feel like you need...
