WASH YOUR HANDS! QND CLEQN YOUR SCREENS1


March 9:
Much is written and said about the CORONA virus and what it means. I have also earlier contributed with a couple of comments about it.  Today I want to address a very practical aspect of it. Washing hands.  Something we all know the importance of. But do we know enough about it? And do we know how?  Personally, I am quite sure that I can and ought to do better.  
I have found a very instructive description in English. Even with practical illustrations.   
When you first read WHY this is so important ( and not just right now ), then you are very motivated to read further on about HOW.  And hopefully starting doing it rightaway.
And be aware of one more thing:  regular hand soap is much better and more efficient that all sorts of hand rubbing alcohol. Soap destroys the vira you have on your hands.  And then it is much cheaper.
One more important advice in our electronic age:  Clean the screens of your phone and of your laptop or ipad at least twice a day. These screens are very popular “parking lots” for vira, bacteria, etc.  In this case alcohol is better than soap.
So’ get going! And why not use the technical facilities at our disposal these days:  arrange that your phone gives a nice signal each time you have to wash your hands!!  Or would that be too much ?!
PS: If you want the 5 page instructions, I will be happy to mail them to you. Just ask:

EU's RELATIONS WITH THE WORLD

Yesterday you got my overview of the Brexit situation.   Some people think that the EU after the UK left as a member does not mean very much, does not have much influence – and should instead start a new strategy with cooperation with countries around the world, incl. the Commonwealth. To those people I want to say:   Either this assertation is put forward to stimulate the discussion for the sake of the discussion.   Or it is an effort to start a discussion far away from the realities ☹ This inspires me to make a brief overview of the role of the EU in the world. Today I will do it point by point.   Later I will go into more details on some of the points: 1.       EU is with its 466 mio. inhabitants one of the most interesting markets in the world. This was also what the Brits were told by f.ex. Australia and India, when they tried to make these countries particularly interested in their market with 66 mio. people. 2...

MY FIRST SCHOOL DAY - April 2, 1952

MY VERY FIRST SCHOOL DAY -  April 2, 1952: Today ( April 2, 2021 )   it is exactly 69 – sixtynine – years ago, since I started going to school. This is a long time ago. It was in 1952. But I still remember it, as if it were yesterday. Can you understand that ? It was a wonderful, sunny morning.   I had for such a long time been looking forward to going to school.   Ok, I could already read and I could also write reasonably.   But I wanted to learn much more. And quickly! I knew that we were 4 kids in our village, who should start that day. Two girls and two boys. I knew the other three well. Remember, we lived in a small country village, where everybody knew everybody. The first school day was always sort of a party to us.   Our parents came along to the school on that first day. And we all had put our nicest clothes on, of course. Our farm was about 1 ½ km from the school.   We walked there, my parents and I.   On the way I could...

MAY 9 - EUROPE DAY

MAY 9: This day is EUROPE DAY.   The day, when the French foreign minister Robert Schuman on behalf of his government presented the so-called Schuman Plan.   Its essence was that European countries should start a very close cooperation with strong commitments, so that war between them would be impossible in the future.   How could you make war impossible? The participating countries had to give up their sovereignty over their coal and steel production and together create joint institutions, which would be responsible for the management of coal and steel in the future.   And as coal and steel are both essentials in any war, this would make war between the countries impossible. The man behind the plan was the French official, Jean Monnet. Six countries supported the proposal right away:   France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.    And the new European institution, called the European Coal and Steel Communit...
