Morpheal’s Commentary - July 20th, 2009 - Financial Crisis in Public Healthcare, HIV Endangers All of Humanity, 40 Years After the Moonwalk - What Next ?, and British Military in Conflict with Downing Street
National Health in Financial Crisis ? - There is a Long Term Cure It would take some investment to tackle long term funding problems of NHS and all similar systems in other nations. What it requires is a computer system, able to function in real time, as an expert system, providing accurate, step by step, protocols for diagnosis and treatment of most common illnesses. The system would allow nurse practitioners to join doctors in front line diagnosis and treatment, constraining all practitioners to best, most effective up to date, thus economical, modalities. Continued Spread of HIV - Could Destroy Humanity Until there is effective vaccine or cure, only the strictest enforced legal measures and penalties would suffice to stop spread of HIV. Failure to be tested, if at risk, and being guilty of spreading the disease to others, must become a most serious crime. The growing danger with increase in HIV cases is viral mutation into a more aggressive, tougher, strain that spreads as readily as common flu virus. Mutation into that form is more probable with every new HIV case and could destroy humanity. The number of viral organisms produced by one carrier multiplied by the number of carriers of the illness, factored by even the most conservative mutation rates for viral organisms, provides the most terrifying scenario of potential damage to the human species of any known scenario, as to a contagious illness, existing on Earth today. We know enough science to recognize the need for effective measures to immediately halt the spread of HIV / AIDS, without any further concerns for the false liberties that some fear would be infringed upon in an effective, enforceable campaign, worldwide, to halt the most dangerous illness on Earth. The probabilities of viable, more dangerous, mutation of the HIV organism, are high and growing higher every hour. 40 Years After the Moonwalk - What Next ? We must remember a sense of disbelief and amazement when a human being landed on, and walked on the moon. It was incredible that it could be done, such a short time after doubts, a few decades previously, as to a man being able to survive fighter jet g force, and then the news of first satellites orbited in the 1950s. What we need now is restoration of faith in progress, with development of a radically new propulsion system, that will launch first AI "manned" probes to distant stars. British Military In Conflict with Downing Street BBC Reports: “General Sir Richard Dannatt told the BBC troops "needed more" and added that he would be compiling a shopping list of what was required. “ When commanders in the field ask for equipment, they ought to receive that equipment. The only role that politicians ought to play in response to such requests, is to assure that those requests are filled, as quickly as possible. There are no other valid criteria for responsible, and effective, conduct of military actions, in relation to politically approved military objectives. Something has gone seriously wrong when politicians are dictating to command in the field what it needs to do the job. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
