Transcendence from Individualism and Materialism?

Possible for some, seemingly impossible for some more.

Some go back and forth?

Koreans with BCG Vaccinations vs Countries with Serious Coronavirus Infections?

Remember reading about Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations seem to reduce the number of deaths due to coronavirus and that they were conducting studies into it.

Also used to prevent recurrence of bladder cancer. They flush the bladder with it and the bladder walls become more resistant to cancer. In most of the cases.

Have a feeling that this could be one of the reasons why Korea has managed to keep the number of coronavirus infections in control. Along with the masks and contact tracing...

Is God an Entity, Force, or Some Other Phenomenon?

Doubt that God is something like that most religions describe. Seems to be too much from a human perspective.

Feelings, emotions, and the ilk are human characteristics. What if God did not have feelings, emotions and such?

Wonder if God has something to do with knowledge, reason, or conscience? Maybe enjoyment of music...

Even religions like music.

Could it be that good people enjoy music and other things in life than bad people? That's a good thought.

Could it be that good people think more clearly and are more satisfied with life than bad people? Seems to be so.

Seoul Is Almost Back To Normal - Very Crowded

Koreans seem to have great confidence in the government and health officials being able to contain coronavirus.

There are still cases because of churches not following recommendations. They can hold services, but they need to record the names of those attending, check for fever, not sit them closely together and wear masks.

Most churches are holding online services, but there are those who disregard the recommendations and are very hostile.

There were some outbreaks in call centers, mental institutions, hospitals and elderly homes.

However, markets are crowded, buses are crowded and so on with almost everyone wearing masks.
