What is the connection between delirium and cognitive impairment caused by COVID-19?




(Image: Wikipedia/Delirium tremens)


The reason why delirium tremens is improving the dangers of the COVID-19 is not so surprising that we might think. Delirium tremens is a disease caused by alcoholism. Many times we forget that alcoholic people are not eating very well. They might have very few vitamins in their food. Or they are eating so badly that they are malnourished. And otherwise, the bacteria in their alimentary canal is disturbing. 

This thing makes the body impossible to receive vitamins. Some alcoholics have bad health conditions and other diseases like cirrhosis or cancer. Along with a lower immune defense, that thing offers the perfect platform for viruses to infect that person. And along with low nutrient levels, those things can cause that the COVID-19 infection will be worse than in other cases. 

The use of drugs and especially injected drugs can cause HIV infection and that thing makes every virus and other infections worse than in the case of a so-called normal person who has no vitamin deficiency that passivates immune defense. Or whose immune defense is not busy for some other viruses like Hepatite B. In that case, the immune cells are working with other viruses. And they have no time to start the fight against COVID-19. 

Humans, like all other mammals, have bacteria in the intestine. And the purpose of those bacteria is to handle the nutrient and separate important parts of it for the cells. If those bacteria will be destroyed the person would die because of hunger. In that case, the body just cannot use the nutrient, even if the person eats just like should be eaten. But people who have delirium might not eat enough vitamins at all. 

They might eat mostly meat and sausages. There is also the possibility that those people would not go to coronavirus tests if they feel sick.  And there is also the possibility that they will not take rest in the case of fewer. Along with bad habits like cigarette smoking and especially smoking the same cigarettes with other people and drinking from the same bottles with other people will increase the speed of the spread of the epidemic. 

When we are thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic we must say that there is the possibility that we ever get the complete numbers of the infected persons. There are lots of people who are not going to tests even if they are sick. And in Africa and the Middle East is possible many people don't even know about the COVID-19. Or they have better things to do than going to tests. 

But in the western world, some people are ever thinking about things like COVID-19. Those people are left outside society. They are using drugs and living in their world. We see them all the time, but somehow we cannot force them to test.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
