The chinese cure against spreading of the COVID19 virus

Chinese medicine against the spread of the virus.

I've been in a Chinese city since the beginning of this year, and from the standpoint of an eyewitness I can tell you how the evolution is gradually taking place, from «somewhere in a galaxy far away there's another sickness» to «whether there's enough food for everyone». Everybody goes this way with different speed, but there is one point that is not worth reaching — panic mood among those who realized the scale of the problem last of all.

The Chinese people, based on the experience of the SARS epidemic in 2003, were able to immediately conclude that it is much more correct to put restriction on healthy population than to wait and quarantine sick people. Entire country of one and a half billion people got a sudden vacation extention. This happened in early February, was an unprecedented and very expensive economic decision, but it paid off, there was almost no panic in the people and the growth of the number of people who got sick practically stopped. Healthy people are much easier to manage than the sick, and when you have a billion and a half, it is a matter of life and death.

For our hundred and fifty million population, the window of opportunity is still open. If number of cases is on thee rise, we must immediately understand that this will not pass by itself, we must fight it, minimizing the number of diseases until a vaccine is available.

How and when it is time for treatment if you feel that you may have picked up the virus, let the real doctors tell you, and I will tell you in this post a little bit about how to prevent its spread. Based on real events that happened around me lately in Shenzhen, China.

C# Collection Manager (Entity mapper)

The CCM (C# Collections Mapper) is a working version of the handwritten mini ORM, working with the database and C # collections. Productivity is quite high, resource consumption is minimal. This ORM works directly with SQL Server stored procedures. The code is accompanied by descriptions and example .Net Console project showing the technique of ORM using.


Data is stored on the SQL server and when a large number of simultaneously connected users access it this creates a serious load on the database server. In addition, often database queries fetch the same data, which is not good in terms of server and applications load. One of ways to optimize the database in ligament with client application is to reduce traffic and to store data already received from the server on the client or in the middle application tier. Or to store already received data on the application server, especially when the database server and client applications are distributed across the network. For this purpose, the collections stored in the Session or at the application level are the best suited.

Increase Productivity and Secure your Collaboration With Troop Messenger

image

Picture this:


You’re leading a peace-keeping mission and simultaneously safeguarding your nation against the enemies. It’s a multi-state effort, that involves an active contribution of your colleagues from different departments, some working next door, and some in remote areas.

As a leader, there is a dire need for you to maintain an active collaboration and real-time data sharing with all the team members. You also need to integrate with third-party contractors who are handling other mission-critical services.

But, you don’t have the right medium to maintain that interaction. You don’t have a secure platform to deliver critical information among your team members. Your mission is hampered through phone calls and static email solutions, and eventually, the lack of tools and effective collaboration process dawns upon you.

But it’s too late, the delay has already caused a ruckus, and your opponents are already a step ahead.

Now, Let’s flip the scenario:
You’re organizing a similar mission with a war-torn nation. You need to have a collaboration with the masses. There are a thousand people who need to exchange information with each other — actively, remotely, and frequently — without having to worry about the security breaches.

image

As diversified workplaces and remote teams are emerging even more, the number of team communication tools is multiplying immensely.

The Problem


With so many tools on the market, which one should we choose? And is having too many tools becoming a problem?
Workplaces are Diversifying = More Tools Available = More Messy

The Rising Trend= Solution


With so many business communication tools available, a new trend has recently been emerging: businesses creating their very own branded messenger for their team communication, hosted on their servers/clouds. And the reasoning for this trend is gradually making sense to more and more businesses.

What is Self-Hosting?


Self Hosting is running your application by setting it on your servers or cloud. And some companies provide their ready-apps for team communication, that you can host and use yourself.

But what's the problem with Slack?


When using Slack, businesses have no other option but to dedicate their most confidential data and conversations to Slack. But by self hosting your own app, all your conversations will safely belong to you and only you.
