Mas servia também para ganhar tempo para organizar a rede sanitária e hospitalar para trabalhar com inteligência e eficiência.

Se analisarmos o que já aconteceu em escala global no ano de 2020 é possível constatar como o debate sobre o “coletivo” está em pauta. Talvez mais do que nunca esteve antes. A questão do pensamento e das ações individuais e coletivas saíram do campo teórico e imaginário e aterrissaram na pr... mais »

Trust in Society
QUOTE OF THE DAY "The problem is that once trust is lost, it is very difficult to get it back. Societies can thus get trapped in a feedback loop of corruption, distrust and inequality. Corruption drives inequality and distrust, whereas distrust drives even deeper inequality. Voters may realize they would benefit from policies that reduce inequality, but their distrust of one another and of their institutions prevents the political system from acting in the way they would prefer."

On Complement, Memory, and MicrogliaList of authors. - Robyn S. Klein, M.D., Ph.D. We all forget things, and sometimes it would be better if we did not. Normal forgetting occurs more frequently as we age, but more serious, progressive, retrograde forgetting, which can have severe, life-threatening consequences, occurs in patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Most of us assume that memory formation is an active process and that forgetting reflects a combination of defects in initial memory coding, localization of memories, or memory retrieval.
