Mandatory lockdowns, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders meant to contain COVID-19 have created a shadow pandemic of domestic abuse, says physician Kemi DaSilva-Ibru. Sharing alarming statistics on the rise of gender-based violence worldwide, she describes how Nigeria quickly retrained a squadron of basic health care providers to respond to the crisis — and shares lesson other countries can adopt to keep people safe from harm.

Love the things that make you different. If everyone else was exactly like you in every way, then you would not care about what they think about you because they are exactly like you. So it is what makes us different that we are insecure about and worry about what other people think of. The differences between us are what makes life so beautiful, it is best to be explored. The Book of Job in scripture, I believe, teaches us that we must learn to accept the good with the bad. I think that is what God appreciated about Job and was testing in him. And that’s what true unconditional love is, loving someone in the bad times and the good. On a micro view, its loving yourself despite your flaws. And on a macro view, its loving humanity even though there are bad people, and loving Life despite all the bad things that can happen..

The only way we can end this pandemic and boost the economy is to stay in lockdown and not break the rules

No mention of domestic abuse against men from women. Of course, TED is an biased as the BBC

Anyone can suffer domestic abuse, it’s horrific and should not be accepted.

I certainly won’t be a millionaire at the end of this bull Run, however I had 35k invested 6 months ago in Bitcoin, I’m sitting at 470k now with 50% in eth and 20% in other alts… So I’m very happy and thankful to Jessica Parido who made this possible, maybe next time I’ll have enough to become a millionaire
