COVID-19 is a serious global infectious disease outbreak with thousands of cases and deaths
worldwide. It is part of a family of viruses called CORONA VIRUS that infects both animals and people. This
particular one originated in China at the end of 2019, in the city of Wuhan, which has 11 million residents. In
the past two decades corona virus outbreaks had caused global concern.
COVID-19 can cause symptoms very similar to the flu-fever and a dry cough, fatigue, pains and nasal
congestion. Severe cases can lead to serious respiratory disease and even pneumonia. Those most at risk are
elderly or people with underlying medical issues, such as heart problems or diabetes.
Despite most deaths still being in older people, it is clear that many young people with the virus can still
develop serious infection that requires hospitalization. The evidence so far indicates that the virus is spread
from one person to person through respiratory droplets when a person coughs or sneezes, these droplets can also
land on nearby surfaces. That is why the advice to prevent COVID-19 has focused on hand washing with soap,
the use of alcohol and keeping a distance from people who are symptomatic.

The fact that electronic computers are now used for data processing has led the general public to believe
that it is a mysterious, complicated science and that the computers are giant brains. Both of these ideas are false.
A computer is basically just a high-speed adding machine that performs the functions it is told to. If the input
data are varied even a little, the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to accept the variations.
The business operations it performs are impressive only because of the extremely high speed of manipulation,
but most of these operations have been used for decades. Unlike man, the computer performs repetitive
calculations without getting tired or bored.

The Legend of the First Rainbow
A farmer noticed that a wall he built keeps getting knocked down. He waited one evening and surprised
three star maidens. Two were able to escape while one was left behind because the farmer hid her magic wings.
They got married and had a son.
One day, the star maiden found her missing wings hidden near their house. She wore them and took her
son up to her sky world.
The gods take pity on the farmer and so they built a rainbow so that the mortal can sometimes climb up
to the sky to visit his wife and son.
