The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to COVID-19, broadly construed, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

Awkward section Global institutions

The current Global institutions section feels awkward. It announces that there are "other institutions" (plural), with a very weak source to establish that; then only one (singular) institution is itemized. Shouldn't this information just get plowed into another section as one sentence? Cyberflag1 (talk) 13:50, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pandemics

I have thought that because global warming affects the world and because the current pandemics have the cases in many parts of it, they are probably related. I have written that for some posts of or a message to US President Joe Biden and the UN on Facebook in the past. However, I did not know if some people got interested in my idea as I received no replies from them.

I wanted to write my idea of covering the faces to prevent infections. It is to create a helmet-like equipment with a small air purifier inside it. In this way, I think that the infections in many cases could be avoided. Indoors, we could have the air purifiers. Outdoors, we could use the helmet-like equipment. I wrote about this equipment to the US Embassy in Tokyo many months ago, but no one seems interested in it. It might not be useful, but I have thought that it would save people.

I heard that the patients who are and will be infected with the serious diseases might recover. I heard that a person’s power of resistance is dramatically increased with a shot of Vitamin C, and so it might be possible to save the lives of the people who are and will be infected with them.Ruby2021 (talk) 09:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
