Vivipary is the premature sprouting
of seeds inside the fruit and is more likely to happen when abscisic
acid (ABA), a plant hormone that regulates seed dormancy and
germination, is reduced. Vivipary is not uncommon in overripe or very
vine-ripe tomatoes and tomatoes stored in the refrigerator where
exposure to cool temperatures and low light are thought to inhibit ABA.
Environmental conditions such as potassium deficiency and over
fertilization with nitrogen are also thought to influence vivipary. In
addition, some types of tomatoes (cultivars) are more prone to vivipary
indicating that genetic factors may play a role. While tomatoes
undergoing vivipary may not be very appealing or tasty, they are safe to
eat.
She said this and everyone is angry claiming people will be lazy and take advantage of this. this country is a joke. We need Sanders as a president. smh

“western media wont talk about this but the vietnamese government is helping citizens fight the coronavirus by offering free /proper/ meals for people in quarantine areas and free groceries/necessities for a whole neighborhood in lockdown”
———————–
“- here people will be placed in quarantine due to travel history, showing symptoms or recent contact with current patients - the neighborhood in lockdown is because the 17th patient, possibly a “super spreader”, resided there”
“some korean travelers are also in quarantine so they were given korean meals because what if they aren’t used to vietnamese food”
“i ran out of characters but this is also meant to poke fun at how the usa and some european nations respond to this outbreak, both their government and people. anw if you constantly think of countries in the global south with your shallow eurocentric bias then karma will get you.”
“Muting this now reach me through DM if you need to! Appreciate all the good sentiments”
“your gov may be shitty but extend your appreciation and support to doctors & healthcare workers on the frontline of this crisis!
if you cant wear masks, wash hands often, avoid touching MEN (Mouth Eyes Nose), and avoid crowds (PLEASE). the system is in shambles so be proactive”

“The Vietnam government makes sure the neighbors of the “super spreader” number 17th has enough food for 14 days. The citizens in quarantine be making friends, cleaning up the place together, giving out roses for women patients for International Women day, even fall in love lol~”
I saw it all over Insta, too. It’’s fucking great.
Also, they have developed their own kit, which is apparently easy and cheap to mass-produce and has a fail rate of 0 so far, meaning it produces accurate results every time. The kicker? The test is so efficient that you can receive the results within one hour.
“t was developed jointly by the Vietnam Military Medical University and tech firm Viet A Corporation.
It is based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a technique that combines reverse transcription of RNA into DNA and amplification of specific DNA targets using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The kit can detect the new coronavirus in specimens of droplets obtained from the respiratory tract and blood samples.
Do Quyet, director of the university, said all tests done by the university and Viet A Corporation found the kit meeting World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards.”
The initial batch is producing 10,000 a day for distribution across Vietnam, but they said they could triple the number if needed. For comparison, 10,000 tests a day is what is being administered in South Korea, with the goal being there to upgrade to 30,000 tests a day as well.
Seeing how places like Vietnam tackle this crisis with heart, respect, realism tinted with optimism, concern for their fellow humans, and ingenuity, really warms my heart.
A group of First Nations in Manitoba says the Cuban government has offered to provide health-care resources for communities in need. Grand Chief Jerry Daniels of the Southern Chiefs Organization made the announcement at a media conference Friday in Havana, where a delegation of Manitoba First Nations leaders and health technicians have spent the past week discussing a potential partnership with the communist nation.
Cuba has a program where it will send a number of trained health professionals to work in other countries, according to Daniels. The country is offering to ship contractual doctors to First Nations communities, and teach Indigenous students at the Latin American School of Medicine, Cuba’s international medical school, Daniels said.
“Our nations are in the middle of a health transformation process … however we all agree on one thing: we need way more health-care professional providers,” said Daniels. Many people living in First Nations do not have the necessary resources available for good care, and the people that do may face discrimination and a lack of cultural understanding, he said.
This is so great for people with hypochondriasis! This is a rough time for everyone but we don’t need people like me getting all anxious over nothing and clogging the system.
If you can’t breathe, go to the hospital. If you can, drink some tea and get cozy with Netflix. (And take appropriate hygiene procedures like staying away from public spaces and vulnerable loved ones, etc.) Much love to other people with health anxiety, try to keep it simple.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
