The COVID-19 Pandemic: How Germany Got It Right
A very interesting interview that I thought to share with Jens Spahn, Germany’s health minister explaining how Germany so far has managed to keep mortality rate from the Coronoavirus so low – hopefully this will continue to get even lower. The take away I believe are 3 strongly linked elements; […]
Read MoreThe COVID-19 Pandemic: A Personal Appeal to World Leaders; Please Start Coordination on Plans to Incrementally Open Up World Economy
As I mentioned in many previous posts a global pandemic – particularly one likely to stay with us for some time – needs a global response both in terms of R&D to develop immunization/medication as well as protections. Many countries now are considering removing restrictions and incrementally opening up their […]
Read MoreThe Main Takeaway of the COVID-19 Pandemic (in 6 lines)…short enough for you?

The net effect is that we are more vulnerable than ever when our efforts/resources […]

A great clip my Danish MP Ida Auken explaining to Covfefe in simple terms the concept of Climate Change. It is merely a crash course of course and may NOT actually end up getting him credits but it can at least help him get started on the subject. The problem […]
Read MoreNature in Decline but the Joke is on Us!
A damming report that delivers a startling facts about the loss of Earth’s natural life and the level of environmental degradation we all face in this and age. We have to understand that this is not a political left vs. right issue – it never was and never will be […]
Read MoreTechnology & Communication: Striking the Right Balance
