YOUR LIFE, HAPPINESS AND PURPOSE ON EARTH

Life becomes meaningless in times of crisis

Many times in life, we ​​find ourselves wondering, what is the purpose of our existence on earth? Why do we have to get up in the morning? What is the real reason after disappointments, pain, hard life, sadness, and joy, we leave this world into our graves?

Is life actually a burden that makes it not worth existing in a world full of wickedness, diseases, depression, poverty, misery, and crime? Why are many rich and others very poor? Many people often ask this question, but do wealth, riches, and luxury bring happiness?

Today, in the era of consumerism, we are continually bombarded by what others used to influence people as real happiness: having a lot of money, a beautiful mansion, and a luxurious car or fleet of cars.

The fact that thousands of people believe that happiness actually lies in the possession of those materials enables them to make wrong choices to inflict pain on themselves. 

It seems that it has become a real obsession, an obligation; almost everyone wants to be rich overnight.

As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with being a rich person, especially if one acquired the money through hard work. Everyone who works hard must enjoy his fruits of labor, but there are those who often want to be rich without hard work.

Some people admire rich people and wish to be them, but whatever means they acquired the wealth don't mean anything to them. However, be careful what you wish for because if luxury indeed brought happiness, many rich people wouldn't commit suicide.

Too often we are led to think that life is meaningless and as such should be lived to the maximum. That’s where some people begin to waste their precious lives, forgetting that along the line, when becoming old, the bad, wasteful life they led can take its toll on their health.

Whatever excess things one does with his body, the type of food you eat, and the large volume of alcohol one consumes may affect your health. As we grow older, our system becomes weaker and, therefore, may not be strong enough to fight certain ailments.

We human beings tend to identify our being alive with our body and forget that we are much more than matter itself. 

We have embodied souls that choose matter to spend a part of their life in a dimension that can help us evolve, grow, and repair mistakes made in other lives.

Life and death are an integral part of a great project that goes far beyond the decades that we live as human beings. Life is a passage, and death is a transformation that takes place, which allows the soul to continue its evolution.

Happiness doesn't lie only in riches or luxury but in your purpose on earth, which reflects on the good things you did. There is so much happiness in doing good. What you wouldn't like anyone to do to you, don't do to others; that will bring you happiness too.

When it comes to the Bible, many think it's another storybook full of false stories. No one can force someone to believe in the Bible, but if you do, your happiness will be infinite. “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed,” said Jesus.

THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

COVID-19has decimated the world

Like Belgium, Italy, and Spain, the deadly coronavirus impact has changed lives, shut down businesses, and laid off many workers, monopolizing political debate in the United Kingdom from the time the disease emerged.

The coronavirus, which doesn’t discriminate, has also affected the country’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who, according to the British media, is in intensive care, but his health remains stable.

The Prime Minister contracted the disease on the evening of April 5, forcing him to be hospitalized, on which the Queen, Elizabeth II, also spoke to the nation. 

To observe how the British opinion has evolved on the emergency and who is managing it, two opinion polls were compared to deal with this issue in depth.

The first survey was conducted in mid-March, between the 12th and 13th, when the number of infected people reached 800, with 10 deaths. 

Just on the evening of March 12, Boris Johnson gives an intervention in which he says that many will lose their loved ones and that no restrictive measures like the Italian ones are foreseen.

The second survey was carried out at the end of the month, between 26 and 27 March, which was a few days after implementing the lockdown. 

On the morning of March 27, in addition, the prime minister announced that he was positive for coronavirus, while the infections approached the 15,000 threshold, with over 750 deaths.

In late March, 88% of Britons said they were worried about the epidemic, 15 points higher than two weeks earlier. The elders appear a little more concerned than the younger ones.

However, the voters of the major opposition parties are more concerned than the conservative voters, but there are no particularly clear differences.

Like other countries, to avoid the spread of the virus, London experienced lockdown, making the streets virtually empty and unnaturally silent. 

However, according to 'WorldOMeter,' an international team of developers and researchers providing world statistics of the pandemics, the United Kingdom has so far registered 73,758 cases and 8,958 deaths, and 344 patients have recovered.


Update: April 12, 2020

The UK has recorded 917 new coronavirus deaths, taking the total number of people who have died in hospital with the virus to 9,875.

For the second day in a row, more than 900 deaths were recorded in hospitals. The latest figures come as the prime minister has told friends he owes his life to the NHS staff who treated him in hospital for COVID-19.

Boris Johnson is expected to spend the coming weeks resting and recovering and will not rush his return to work.

SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS SITUATION IN BELGIUM

Belgium's Minister for Health, Maggie De Block


The current data of the coronavirus in Belgium, according to 'WorldOMeter,' an international team of developers and researchers providing world statistics of the pandemics, 26,667 cases have been recorded, while the number of deaths is 3,019, and 5,568 have recovered.

Belgian hospitals have received 459 new patients with the virus in the past 24 hours, bringing the number to a total of 5590 people hospitalized in this context, while 283 deaths were confirmed by the center of the FPS Public Health. 

There were more discharges from the hospital (483) than admissions, said virologist Emmanuel André during the daily press briefing on the results of the pandemic in Belgium.

Currently, 1285 people are in intensive care (+9), of whom 992 require respiratory assistance. "The pressure on intensive care remains great and could intensify in the coming days," commented virologist Steven Van Gucht.

Of the 283 deaths since Wednesday, 135 patients lost their lives in Flanders, 109 in Wallonia, and 39 in Brussels. 116 diagnosed people died in hospitals, said Emmanuel André.

A total of 2,523 deaths from the new coronavirus have been recorded in Belgium since the start of the COVID-19 crisis.

In the past 24 hours, 4300 tests have been performed, which have been positive for 1580 people. Since mid-March, 24,983 people have been diagnosed positive with a laboratory test.

In addition, the experts took advantage to explain that, contrary to the information circulating on the social networks, putting masks or clothes in the freezer is useless.

Lessons From Ebola Have Made African Countries To Take The Coronavirus Seriously

A young man protects himself against the coronavirus in Africa.


In the year 2014, a disease called Ebola, which had previously hit the Republic of Congo in 1976, struck the West African countries simultaneously in Liberia, the Republic of Guinea, and Sierra Leone. 



While the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, told the world that the disease is not a biological weapon but bats are responsible, independent scientists and medical personnel, including Dutch scientist Johan Van Dongen, and the German medical doctor Wolff Geisler, who weren't interested in supporting and promoting the lies, revealed that:

The Ebola biological weapon, which they are claiming that bats are responsible for the spread, had a historical background. The Ebola outbreak had already occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967. 

So if the Ebola virus had appeared in Marburg, Frankfurt, and Belgrade in 1967, then in Congo in 1976, why are they telling the world that bats are responsible for the 2014 Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia? It's unfortunate that people still have trust in the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, and the US government when it comes to an epidemic.

Again, why do people tune in to listen to the mainstream media, including CNN and the BBC, that have followed and supported the blatant lies of the US government, the Centers for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization, even though they claim to have qualified health journalists? These news channels have done us more harm than good.

Promoting the lies of the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and the US government, BBC and CNN told the general public that bats are responsible for Ebola, and the disease spread very fast because of bushmeat, including monkeys that Africans eat. 

On behalf of all Africans, I want to ask the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, what did the world eat for the coronavirus to hit us ferociously in this manner, especially in Europe and America?

They often say that "experience is the best teacher." Indeed, the Ebola epidemic, which erupted in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia in 2014, has taught the Ebola-stricken West African countries a very good lesson. 

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia have taken strict measures to control the disease more than many European countries and the United States of America.

Sierra Leone which was the only West African country without a case of coronavirus finally reported its first case, when in a nationwide broadcast, President Maada Bio announced that the index case is a 37- year -old male who arrived in the country from France on an Air Brussels flight on March 16 and was immediately put into quarantine.

The man reportedly finished the requisite 14 days of isolation at a hotel on Sunday and was collected by his wife yesterday. Apparently, the subject's wife, who is a medical doctor, noticed the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and immediately drove her husband to the 34 Military Hospital, where he tested positive for the virus.

After battling the worst Ebola outbreak in history, Liberia has taken stringent action in dealing with its first two coronavirus cases. The first sufferer has been identified as a 46-year-old head of Liberia's Environmental Protection Agency, who returned to the country last Friday after attending a conference in Europe.

Rigorous health controls had been in place at all entry points until this case slipped through, breaching protocols set up by health and airport authorities, according to Information Minister Eugene Lenn Nagbe.

Guinea's health ministry has also announced its first confirmed case of COVID-19. The female patient is a Belgian citizen who has lived in Guinea since October 2018, working for the European Union delegation in the country, according to a statement by the Health Minister, Dr. Remy Lama.

The 49-year-old went to Brussels in Belgium on Feb15 for holidays, then visited Nice in France for the period from Feb17 to 21, 2020, before returning to Brussels, according to the statement.

She then arrived in Guinea’s capital city, Conakry, on March 3.

According to the statement, the patient was placed in solitary confinement at the Epidemic Treatment Center in Nongo, Conakry. 

Incredibly, these countries have learned good lessons from their pains and nightmares, after the Ebola outbreak, to adhere to strict measures to prevent the coronavirus from taking over their countries, while they watch America and other European countries struggling to control the disease.

MAN KILLS HIS GIRLFRIEND FOR SUSPECTING TO INFECT HIM WITH CORONAVIRUS

Messina was strangled by her boyfriend, who accused her of suspecting to infect him of having coronavirus

The coronavirus has taken a deadly toll on people around the world, followed by sad and emotional stories. In the Italian city of Messina, on the island of Sicily, a man strangled his beloved girlfriend, suspecting her of trying to infect him with the coronavirus. 

On Tuesday, March 31, 28-year-old Antonio de Pase called the police and confessed to the murder of his girlfriend, Lorena Quaranta. The patrol arrived at the scene and found that Antonio had tried to commit suicide. 

Paramedics gave him medical assistance to rescue him from death, but the life of his girlfriend could not be saved, as she was pronounced dead. In a conversation with the authorities, he said, "I killed her because she infected me with the coronavirus."

To enhance the investigation, doctors checked Pase and his girlfriend, Quaranta, for the presence of coronavirus, but both tested negative. The police are investigating and finding out the details of what actually happened.

The report further reveals that the 27-year-old Lorena Quaranta, a medical student from Agrigento, studied as a doctor at the University of Messina, and her great passion was working in emergency around the clock with her colleagues fighting on the front line.

A few days before her death, the Italian commented on the situation with the spread of coronavirus in the country on social networks. They noted that in Italy, 41 doctors died due to COVID-19 pneumonia. 

Attaching the news from a local resource, Quaranta wrote down, "more than ever, people should support each other, you must respect yourself, your family, and your country.”

She concludes, saying, "We remain united, each in their own home. Let's avoid the next sick person being a loved one or ourselves." 

It's very sad for such an intelligent person, very close to finishing her studies as a doctor, that life will tragically end in this way.

THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS IN SWITZERLAND

The Swiss authorities are tirelessly working to control the spread of the disease.

Currently, 19,303 infected people are registered for contracting the coronavirus in Switzerland, and 573 people are confirmed dead. 

Due to delays in data processing at the federal level, the SWI portal swissinfo.ch currently publishes figures that come directly from the cantons.

The number of infections in the country has again increased slightly. This is not a sharp increase, but, nevertheless, “a significant number of people are still infected with the virus every day. 

The number of deaths is also increasing. Therefore, we have not yet reached the peak of the epidemic," said Daniel Koch of the Swiss Federal Office of Health at a press conference on Thursday, April 2. 

"It is too early to make any predictions and relax "Anyway, it is too early," he said.
