Wonderful benefits of Corona virus

 Air pollution around the world reduces life expectancy by 3 years and causes 8.8 million premature deaths each year (Pixabay


The Corona pandemic created what was not even considered by science fiction movies!


 Empty cities, deserted airports and schools, suspended travel flights and travel bans for travelers, closed restaurants and cafes, in an unprecedented global experience with repercussions that were not all negative, as there were positive effects, we know here about some of them:


 Reducing carbon dioxide emissions

 Traffic and the use of vehicles of all kinds are the second largest cause of air pollution after emissions from industrial activities, and they represent a quarter of global carbon dioxide emissions.


 Quarantine measures around the world against the backdrop of the Corona pandemic have reduced air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions at the highest rate ever recorded in history, according to a report in Deutsche Welle.


Prevent mortality

 Jos Lelieveld, director of the Max Planck Institute for chemistry, told the Wiesen.di website of the German NDA network (April 29, 2020) - according to Deutsche Welle.  We estimate that about 7,400 premature deaths and 6,600 childhood asthma cases were avoided in the first two weeks of quarantine procedures. "


 Willefield is one of the authors of a study that evaluated data from satellites and more than 10,000 measurement stations in 27 countries, including various European countries such as Germany and Spain, but also from China, India and Chile.


 A study conducted by researchers from Indian and Chinese universities - according to Deutsche Welle - found that the annual death toll in India will decrease by 650,000 people if the current air purity ratios are maintained.


 In the same context, another study showed that the significant reduction in air pollution caused by the closure measures would save 11,000 lives in Europe, according to the study conducted by the Energy and Air Research Center and transmitted by "Deutsche Welle".

The study's senior researcher, Lori Milleferta, said that the effect of measures against the emerging corona virus "is similar in many regions of the world."


 In China, for example, concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter in the air decreased by 25% and 40%, respectively, during the tighter lockdown phase.  "Therefore, more deaths could also be avoided," Meliverta added.


 Experts believe that air pollution around the world reduces the average life expectancy of 3 years, and causes 8.8 million premature deaths every year

5 big signs that travel is roaring back

New York (News Business) Vacation deprivation is about to be replaced by a  travel boom , according to Expedia CEO Peter Kern.  He told CNN's Julia Chatterley earlier this week that people are beginning to think about their future travel "very quickly." Reservations on the travel website for some parts of the United States this summer are "all booked up" and he expects Europe will soon follow as the number of vaccinations grow.  Of course, "normalcy" for the travel industry is still a long way off because of the lack of business travel and the continued closure of many international borders.   And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is still urging Americans — even those who have been vaccinated — not to travel. But leisure travelers itching fo r a getaway have helped spur demand for US airlines, Airbnb and hotel chains . Here are some major signs that there's a travel turnaround: Air travel is soaring Executives from  American Air...

woman convicted of killing her 4 babies

  Genetics may free a woman convicted of killing her 4 babies and help other parents explain the  unexplainable Kathleen Folbigg has spent the past 18 years in prison for one of the most horrific crimes imaginable: killing all four of her babies.  But new scientific evidence suggests that's not what happened.  Genomic testing shows at least two of the Australian's babies likely died from a previously undiscovered genetic mutation that led to heart complications -- meaning she may have been wrongfully imprisoned for almost two decades.  The finding has prompted 90 scientists -- including two Australian Nobel Laureates -- to ask the governor of New South Wales to pardon  Folbigg  and let her walk free. If that happens, Folbigg's case will be one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Australian history. The ramifications don't end there. While scientists are still learning about the causes of sudden infant death syndrome ( SIDS ) -- an umbrella term for...
