I have been a science communicator for almost 12 years now I can assure you, this is by far one of the worst periods when it comes to the amount of dangerous skepticism, amplified by ignorance and easy access to social media. Unfortunately, it’s also the period when critical thinking is needed the most. Millions of lives are at stake! You would think people would come together to solve a global a threat that could wipe out a large portion of our species if not contained, instead they resort to disputes, conspiracy theories and spreading misinformation about things they can’t control or hardly know nothing about.

It’s good to have a reasonable amount of skepticism, but even skepticism itself can be dangerous when it’s too excessive. It clouds your judgment from seeing the truth. Same goes with keeping an open mind towards new ideas. Everything needs to be moderate and well balanced. As Carl Sagan said “It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.”

I have noticed large groups of people using “fancy” terms to object scientific evidence. They call it “fear mongering”, “fake news” or “media hype” when it doesn’t line up with what they believe in. They approve of it and spread it further if it matches with their ideology without examining its source or the scientific evidence behind it.

Can you imagine what could have happened if everyone in the world decided to ignore the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic? We would see bodies collapsing in the streets from a “mysterious illness” and we would be helpless in finding a way to contain it. Because hey! It’s “just a flu, ignore it and it will go away”. It would be like the Black Death pandemic (1347 – 1353) situation all over again, which killed up to 200 million people around the world back when the world’s population was not more than 450 million people. We would live like a primitive medieval society that doesn’t know anything about disease-causing germs despite our technological and scientific revolution. Our excuse? It’s “fake news” and it’s “fear mongering”. This is the kind of world those people want us to live in.

I have personally talked to people who ignored the COVID-19 problem until they lost their loved ones from the disease, only then they took it seriously. That’s when they realized that the numbers we see everyday aren’t just digits, they represent real people who had memories, life experiences, consciousness and connections in real life. They were loved by their families and friends; they had plans to go somewhere this summer and create new beautiful memories. One day they were alive and well, the next day they were gone.

Can you even begin to imagine what it is like to lose a loved one? In case it hasn’t happened to you yet, it’s a horrifying experience and I have gone through it myself when I lost my oldest brother a few years ago. A person who you have connected with for a long time … gone with a blink of an eye. Meanwhile millions of others calling of all this “fake news” and “fear mongering”. It’s an insult to the victims of this devastating pandemic, an insult to the scientific evidence and the knowledge we spent decades collecting, and an insult to the collective intelligence of our species. We are better than this.

During this pandemic, I have always sided with science, which came at a cost. I have been called many names and accused of many things. “He’s paid by China”, “He’s paid by WHO”, “He’s paid by the freemasons who control the world”, “He’s paid by Bill Gates”, “He’s paid by big pharma”, and I chose to ignore them. I’m ignoring them not because I can’t defend myself, but because there is a bigger problem to focus on: a pandemic.

Just like everyone else, I want this pandemic to end right now so we can all move on with our lives. This is why it’s my duty as a science communicator to provide you with reliable updates on what’s going on. We all need the cure, so I’ll keep you informed about the latest updates on its progress. I understand how this experience can be damaging to the mental health of some people. If you have noticed, I have focused on covering inspiring and positive stories to help us go through this pandemic while keeping our sanity intact. However, we also don’t want false hope where you would be misled to underestimate the severity of the problem. That’s not my style. It’s important to learn new facts about the virus and the pandemic even if they go against our wishes sometimes. It’s important that we learn how the virus behaves so we can protect ourselves and our loved ones in better ways and minimize the damage caused by this pandemic.

Please, let’s all be responsible during this pandemic not only by practicing social distancing, but also by learning the facts from authentic sources only. And remember, it’s not “fear mongering”, it’s a real threat that could reach you and me if we are not too careful. Let’s not panic, let’s stay strong and cautious during this temporary difficult time. It will pass. In our fight against the coronavirus, we will emerge victorious because hey, it’s not the end of the world.

Stay safe!

Healthcare costs in the United States are out of control, which has put a burden on both consumers and insurance companies. While we have noted some improvements in the transparency in pricing and various initiatives to offer lower prices domestically, we still feel that medical tourism in Asia can bridge some of the efficiency gaps. Insurance companies should tap into opportunities that medical tourism in Asia offers, to reduce claims expenses, and to improve the quality of coverage that they offer their customers.

Medical tourism does not have to entail travel to a far flung and strange new land! Price and quality differences exist even within the same country and so domestic medical tourism offers a great opportunity to save costs and seek better quality for those of us who are either too unwell or simply not adventurous enough to travel to another country.

Gingivoplasty involves reshaping of the gum tissue which is also known as gingiva. This could involve removal of portions of the gum tissue, a procedure knows as Gingivectomy. This is typically done to provide better support to the teeth when the gum is affected by disorder or disease (peridontal disease). Typical gum diseases include gum recession or gingivitis which are usually caused by a bacterial infection. Gingivoplasty can also be carried out purely for cosmetic reasons when the gums are oddly shaped or overgrown.

How it's done: the peridontist first cleans the teeth and gums to make sure they are clear of plaque and calculus and then use a local anesthetic to numb the area. Then the peridontist removes or reshapes portions of the gum tissue. Once complete, a surgical dressing is used to cover the portion of the gum tissue that has been removed.

Cheekbone reduction surgery can help you achieve a more elegant and dainty face. Cheekbones are one of the most important features located at the center of the face, and therefore play an integral role in defining one’s overall facial appearance. If the cheekbones are excessively prominent, the face can appear to be bigger than its actual size, giving the person a harsh and intense or fierce look. Cheekbone reduction is a procedure used to reshape prominent cheekbones. Korean plastic surgeons have become renowned internationally for their expertise in cheekbone reduction as high cheekbones are quite prevalent among Koreans.

3 Cheekbone Reduction Techniques you should know about Cheekbone reduction surgery is a perfect way to get rid of excessively high or laterally projected cheekbones that make you self-conscious about your appearance. Find out how a cheekbone reduction cosmetic surgery can help you get that refined look you have been longing for.

Hospitals in Taiwan are able to offer Americans over 60% cost savings on many common surgeries and have a strong reputation in areas such as coronary artery bypass surgery, prostate surgery, plastic surgery, oncology and orthopedics. Based on our observation of all of our partner hospitals’ offerings, we believe that a joint replacement surgery in Taiwan can bring huge cost savings to Americans, particularly those seeking to undergo knee replacement surgery, a surgery which Taiwanese orthopedic surgeons have developed expertise in due to the country's rapidly ageing population.

Although Thailand may be the first name that springs to mind for a joint replacement surgery, Americans should also explore options at JCI-accredited hospitals in Taiwan. The price for a hip replacement surgery in Taiwan is similar to what JCI hospitals in Malaysia and Thailand charge with quality that is at least as good as what is offered in these two competing Asian destination countries.

Moreover, medical travelers from Canada can also benefit from exploring joint replacement surgery in Taiwan to avoid the long waiting times for undergoing such elective procedures in Canada.
