Many people honored him as the only “all-powerful scientist” in human history. In the words of the ancients, scientists, painters, this idea is “Fantastic talent”. But there are also many unsolved mysteries about this celebrity’s identity. Some people even say that Leonardo da Vinci is an alien, so he has such a transcendent thought. For example, the question about the heart that took humanity 500 years to answer. Is Da Vinci really an alien? What is the puzzle about the heart that he left that people 500 years later find the answer to? Portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci’s life is full of mysteries, he was born in the 15th century in a small village. Until his death, he had no official surname. The real reason was because he was an illegitimate son. And the person who started this heartbreaking story was his father. The father was originally from a prestigious family but fell in love with a mediocre peasant woman, Leonardo da Vinci’s mother. No one knows how they are together, which makes his background even more difficult to answer. There are many mysteries about his identity. The first years of his life were quite peaceful. Over 10 years old, he went to a cave and stayed for a few months. Then, from an unknown person, he became a shining gem in the evolutionary history of human civilization. He left posterity more than 15,000 manuscripts. Among these manuscripts, there are many inventions appearing in modern science and technology. The more science develops, the more mysteries about Leonardo da Vinci begin to be opened. Hundreds of years ago, this miraculous man painted a perfect picture of the structure of the human skeleton and internal organs. In addition, he also drew the shape of the fetus. It is worth mentioning that his painting of the structure of the human body left a puzzle about the heart that took scientists 500 years to figure out! In the hand-drawn picture, in the heart there is a very small muscle fiber located on the inner wall of the ventricle. To this day, many people refer to it as “Trabeculae myocardium”. For a long time, scientists didn’t know about it and didn’t know what it did. It was not until 500 years later that the “trabeculae heart muscle” left by Leonardo da Vinci had the answer. Scientists confirm that this part has a close relationship, directly affecting human health. The sketch left by Da Vinci. In addition to hinting at the “heart muscle Trabeculae”, from the late 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci designed a very robot-like motor. In his sketches, helicopters also appeared. In 1490, he also manually sketched an automatic transmission, which until now has not been widely used in many fields. When humanity felt that Copernicus had bravely stated the heliocentric theory (the sun is the center), Leonardo da Vinci had earlier mentioned the concept of the universe. He thought that the earth was just a planet revolving around the sun, and the light from the moon was just a reflection from the sun. On the other hand, with the conservative thought of that time, he once mentioned the use of solar energy. This timeless thinking makes many people unable to understand, even thinking that Leonardo da Vinci is crazy! Up to now, it is hypothesized that, if 500 years ago his ideas were successfully implemented, it is likely that the current science and technology will develop beyond 500 years. Because of such strange things, many people doubt the identity of Leonardo da Vinci, thinking that he is not an ordinary person but an alien. Or maybe he had traveled through time to a future world. Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain why he has such strange thoughts. The more people think about his teenage years, the more people believe that this genius is not an ordinary person at all. As a child he mysteriously lived in a cave for a while, only a few months later he seemed to be reborn as a new person. These are the words that he himself said to the people. Until now, in his manuscripts there are still many contents that people cannot understand. It may be because the time is not yet ripe, or it may be that the human mind at present cannot keep up with his thought. Therefore, there are still many mysteries that must be solved by the next generation. In the world famous painting “Mona Lisa”, that mysterious smile has also attracted all mankind to find the solution. The famous painting “The Last Supper”. In short, people often say that Leonardo da Vinci is an alien because of the timeless thought he brings. Many years later, with the development of science and technology and the progress of civilization, his thought finally became a reality. Until today, people have been admiring the outstanding intelligence of Leonardo da Vinci. Perhaps geniuses and ordinary people live in two different worlds, and geniuses also have to endure more difficulties and misunderstandings!

Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health has identified nine provinces and cities as high-risk areas, including the capital Bangkok and the tourist city of Chiang Mai. Meanwhile, the National Security Council (NSC) and Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health are considering imposing new measures to cope with the demanded increase in the number of new Covid-19 cases. government. It is known that these two agencies are discussing a plan to impose a blockade on high-risk provinces such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Thailand entered a serious new spread of Covid-19 in early April after a series of infections were discovered at bars and entertainment venues in Bangkok’s Thong Lor area.

According to DDC Thailand, the Covid-19 UK variant has been detected in new cases, with the majority of cases detected among adolescents and employees.

Experts note that the confusion about airborne viral transmission has led to this simple measure being overlooked.

In the BMJ medical paper bowl, the authors, including expert Julian Tang from the University of Leicester and expert Linxey Marr from the University of Virginia Technology, indicated the likelihood of the virus spreading through inhalation at close range This is higher than through exposure to or breathing at a long distance. But airborne transmission is “only mentioned through loudspeaker in a few translation control guidelines”.

Part of the problem, experts emphasize, is that the definition of “droplet” and “airborne” is not yet clear when describing how the virus is spread,

The BMJ article states that careful measures like wearing a mask, keeping distance and reducing crowds in enclosed spaces all help prevent the spread of the virus. But experts stressed the need to add ventilation equipment because small suspended particles can remain in the air for hours and this is an important pathway of disease transmission.

Last March, the World Health Organization (WHO) also released a guide to epidemic prevention, which recommends creating better ventilation in buildings.

• On the same day, French President Emmanuel Macron on April 14 announced that France would provide free psychotherapy for children and adolescents who have suffered psychological harm due to the effects of COVID-19 epidemic.

Speaking during a visit to a psychotherapy facility in the city of Reims, President Macron said France’s social security system would reimburse a total of 10 psychotherapy sessions with a specialist for children from 3 – 17 years old.

After meeting with patients and psychologists at the facility, Mr. Macron said that France is currently having a medical problem affecting children and adolescents in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cases of anxiety and other psychological problems have increased among young people to the extent that they were not seen in the first blockade last year.

Currently, France is implementing a third national blockade to prevent COVID-19 epidemic, but the measures are not as strong as the previous two waves. Schools remain open for a longer period than their European neighbors, although France has now extended the Spring break to halt the epidemic.
