How do I Become a Commercial Analyst?
There are four steps required to become a commercial analyst: post-secondary education, related work experience, communication skills, and completing the job interview process. A commercial analyst is responsible for measuring the financial results of company activity and comparing them to targets. She completes complex analysis, writes reports, and recommends strategies to help the company meet its financial goals.
People who enjoy analysis, reading, and working independently find the greatest satisfaction in this type of work. Although commercial analysts are expected to have excellent communication skills, the most important skill for an analysis is data manipulation. Attention to detail, discipline, and focus are all essential for anyone who wants to become a commercial analyst.
The first requirement to become a commercial analyst is to complete a post-secondary education program. Since this role requires the analysis of financial information and the creation of recommendations, most firms require a certified professional accountant (CPA). The training required to meet this goal is a university or college degree in accounting, in addition to several years' accounting experience and completion of the Certified Professional Accountants® certification process.
Related work experience is typically in accounting, working in a company's accounting department, or for an accounting firm. Commercial analyst is a mid-career position, with very few people qualifying for these roles directly out of school. Business experience and an understanding of the potential consequences are necessary to be effective in this role. This knowledge is only gained through work experience.
Communication skills are very important if you want to become a commercial analyst. The ability to transplant a complex financial analysis into a report or recommendation that clearly explains what needs to be done is critical to decision making. Many accountants invest in business writing courses to improve this vital skill.
During the job interview process, some companies will have a sample analysis exercise for candidates to complete. Financial data and reports are provided and the context explained. The analyst needs to review the information, ask the pertinent questions, and make a recommendation. This is one of the most effective ways to find a suitable candidate.
The role of commercial analysis may not be very exciting, but can be very interesting. As an analyst, you have access to the financial data regarding every aspect of the company's business. The recommendation that you make may result in company failure or success. Accuracy and maturity are valuable in this role due to the inherent pressure to make the company successful.
Discussion Comments
@shell4life - A candidate for the position of commercial credit analyst must possess a bachelor's degree, so that takes an average of four years, and then the candidate must have a minimum of 5 years experience in this field or in a closely related one. That's an average of 9 years, provided that the person found a job in the field immediately after college.
@Oceana - Wow, you're right, that is quite a salary! Since you've done the research, can you (or anybody else) tell me how long it takes to become a commercial credit analyst?
I'm getting to that point in my life where I need to start looking at potential careers, so any information is very welcome.
I was thinking about going into commercial credit analysis, so I looked into it, and apparently, one type of commercial analyst, the commercial credit analyst, typically earns around $65,000.
In case you're curious, a commercial credit analyst looks at credit data when reviewing requests for commercial loans and analyzes that data to determine whether the loans should be approved or denied.
I ended up going with another job (life circumstances), but still, that is a tempting salary!

The Lagos State Government has condemned attack on Shoprite outlets in the state due to Xenophobic attack on Nigerians in South Africa.
A statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso on Tuesday said the attention of the government had been drawn to the attack on Shoprite complexes at Jakande and Sangotedo Area of Ajah by some unidentified people claiming to be acting in retaliation against the attacks on Nigerians in South Africa
"These attacks are condemned as they are against the Nigerian spirit of accommodation and benevolence that the country in general and Lagos State in particular is noted for.
"The Federal Government is in dialogue with South African authorities to stop this obnoxious act. We appeal to our compatriots to eschew violence and any unlawful acts.
"The Lagos State Government wishes to reiterate its commitment to providing a conducive atmosphere where businesses are conducted without hindrances.
"The security agencies have been directed to ensure that law and order prevail in all parts of the State, even as Lagosians are advised to go about their activities without any fear," he said.

PHILADELPHIA — A coalition of labor and community groups rallied here May 25 to demand an increase Pennsylvania's minimum wage, which has remained frozen at $5.15 an hour for eight years. Rally speakers demanded that the state Legislature hike the wage to $7.15 an hour to provide adequate worker income and to bring it closer to the minimum wage prevailing in nearby states.
Demonstrators held picket signs with slogans like "We demand fair pay," and "Think about single mothers."
Speakers at the rally included state Sen. Vincent Hughes, state Rep. Babette Joseph, UFCW Legislative Director John Myerson, the Rev. Randy Barge of the Calvin Presbyterian Church of West Philadelphia, ACORN spokesperson Donald Stokes and Jeff Chapman, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute.
Organized by the Coalition to Raise the Minimum Wage, the city's grassroots and labor organizations were well represented at the event. Participating groups included ACORN, Local 3 of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, Jobs with Justice, SEIU, and the Communist Party USA.
About 850,000 workers — 61 percent of them women and 20 percent seniors — stand to directly benefit from an increase in the state's minimum wage. Black and Latino workers, who are more likely to be working at lower wages than their white counterparts, are expected to benefit significantly from such a hike. Similarly, single mothers stand to greatly benefit from an increase.
As a result of congressional inaction, 15 states, including New Jersey, Delaware and New York, have taken the initiative to boost their minimum wage, most of them to $7 an hour or more. Economists estimate that a full-time, minimum-wage worker in Pennsylvania would earn over $4,000 more per year if the minimum wage were increased to $7.15 an hour.
The rally followed the signing of a city ordinance introduced by Philadelphia City Councilman Wilson Goode Jr. that will increase wages for workers employed through city contracts.

2023 BMW S 1000 RR – even more dynamic thanks to comprehensive innovations to the engine, suspension, chassis, aerodynamics, design, and assistance systems.
The Supersports bike first presented in 2009 will now be available in a new edition featuring an advanced engine and chassis, optimized aerodynamics with winglets, a new rear end, and new assistance systems.
Advanced 4-Cylinder Engine
The new RR features a 4-cylinder in-line engine based on the power unit of the current S 1000 RR. Peak power is now 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm (does not apply to US machines), 2 kW (3 hp) more than the previous model. The maximum torque of 113 Nm is generated at 11,000 rpm. In spite of an increase in peak output, the usable engine speed range of the new RR is now significantly broader and more fulsome. The maximum engine speed is 14,600 rpm.
Dynamic Traction Control DTC
The new feature of Dynamic Traction Control DTC is the Slide Control function. It allows the rider to select two preset drift angles for the traction control system when accelerating out of bends.
Technically, this is achieved using a steering angle sensor. Up to the respective leaning angle, the traction control system allows slippage at the rear wheel when accelerating out of a bend, thus enabling rear wheel drift. When the preset steering angle value is reached, traction control intervenes, reduces slip, and stabilizes the motorcycle.
Chassis and Suspension Geometry
The heart of the chassis of the new RR is still the aluminium bridge frame, which is a welded construction of four gravity die-cast elements and integrates the engine, which is inclined forward by 32 degrees as before, as a supporting element. With the aim of optimizing flexibility laterally, the main frame of the new RR was given several openings in the side areas. The focus was also on further increasing riding precision when developing the new chassis of the RR. The steering head angle has been flattened out by 0.5° and the offset of the triple clamps reduced by 3 mm. The new chassis geometry is accompanied not only by even better riding precision but also by increased accuracy and clearer feedback from the front wheel.
ABS Pro with New Brake Slide Assist
The new Brake Slide Assist function is an important and very helpful innovation for race track riders. As in the new DTC Slide Control function, this new system is also based on steering angle sensors and allows the rider to set a specific drift angle for so-called braking drifts while sliding into corners at a maintained speed.
More Performance and Sportiness
As with the M RR, winglets on the new RR now ensure the best possible contact of the front wheel with the road – especially when accelerating. They generate aerodynamic downforce and thus the additional load on the wheels. The advantages are that the bike's tendency to do a wheelie is reduced, you can break later, and cornering stability is increased.
When it comes to design, the new edition of the RR benefits from a redesigned front section including winglets, a new, lighter, and sportier-looking rear section, and the three new color schemes
Blackstorm metallic, Style Passion in Racing red non-metallic and the racing-oriented Light white non-metallic/BMW M.
2023 BMW S 1000 RR Key Features
- Increased output and torque: 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm at 11,000 rpm.
- Shorter secondary gear ratio for more traction at the rear wheel.
- Advanced "Flex Frame" with more flex.

A → supernova resulting from the → pair instability that generates several successive explosions. According to models, a first pulse ejects many solar masses of hydrogen layers as a shell. After the first explosion, the remaining core contracts and searches for a stable burning state. When the next explosion occurs a few years later, several solar masses of material are again ejected, which collide with the earlier ejecta. This collision can radiate 1050 erg of light, about a factor of ten more than an ordinary → core-collapse supernova. After each pulse, the remaining core contracts, radiates neutrinos and light, and searches again for a stable burning state. Later ejections have lower mass, but have higher energy. They quickly catch up with the first shell, where the collision dissipates most of their kinetic energy as radiation. The first SNe from → Population III stars are likely due to pulsational pair instability (Woosley et al. 2007, Nature 450, 390). See also → pair-instability supernova.

General Information
This page was created to help you survive the COVID-19 crisis.
I wanted to create a place where I could provide you with factual scientific-based information and provide links to that reference material. I have provided links to medical studies where possible. I have also provided links to news stories as it relates to people that have been affected by COVID-19
I am going to dispel the "fog of war" that is surrounding this disease.
Here are some important things to understand when looking at information in articles, news reports and on the web…
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes the disease COVID-19.
Be careful not to confuse the SARS-CoV-2 virus with the SARS-CoV virus that caused the SARS pandemic of 2002-2003. They are genetically similar but different coronaviruses.
SARS-CoV-2 is not the flu. Correct anyone that says that. They are minimizing the danger of this virus.
It causes a disease with different symptoms, spreads and kills more readily, and belongs to a completely different family of viruses. This family, the coronaviruses, includes just six other members that infect humans. Four of them—OC43, HKU1, NL63, and 229E—have been gently annoying humans for more than a century, causing a third of common colds. The other two—MERS and SARS (or "SARS-classic," as some virologists have started calling it)—both cause far more severe disease.
The Most Important Principle In Epidemiology: The Precautionary Principle
After the infection and death of health care workers (HCWs) during the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003, the province of Ontario, Canada established a commission to look at what happened. They looked for lessons to be learned.
One of the lessons learned was that "The Precautionary Principle" must be heeded when dealing with something with a novel (new) virus.
In its final report, Commissioner Justice Archie Campbell wrote that: "We cannot wait for scientific certainty before we take reasonable steps to reduce risk".
Because we're dealing with a novel virus ("novel virus" refers to a virus not seen before), the precautionary principle is key to defeating COVID-19. We cannot wait for the scientific community to conduct studies and research — before making a decision.
- We don't know if the virus is transitted through an aerosol (airborne). But it has been detected and is able to survive in the air for three hours. So using the precautionary principle, assume it is.
- We don't know if the virus can be transmitted by asymptomatic persons. So using the precautionary principle, assume it can be transmitted by asymptomatic people.
- We don't know how long a person sheds coronavirus after infection. The longest documented case so far is 37 days. Using the precautionary principle, assume an infected person is able to shed virus significant longer than 37 days.
- We don't know how long the virus shed by an infected person is contagious. So using the precautionary principle, assume any amount of shed virus is contagious.
These are just a few examples of how the precautionary principle is applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the absence of scientific certainty.
The precautionary principle is the same reason that military units going into a suspected contaminated area, wear their full protective equipment until testing and scientific evidence shows that the area is safe for a lesser level of protection.
What Are The Effects Of The Virus On Victims
Sepsis was the most frequently observed complication, followed by respiratory failure, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, heart failure, and septic shock. Half of non-survivors experienced a secondary infection, and ventilator-associated pneumonia occurred in ten (31%) of 32 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.
SOURCE: The Lancet: "Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study" Published: March 11, 2020
Incubation period
The American College of Physicians said 97.5% of people infected with the new coronavirus will show symptoms within 12 days of catching the virus. The median incubation time is five (5) days.
Asymptomatic Infection and Spread of SARS-CoV-2
There are medical studies documenting asymptomatic infection in people. In other words, they display no symptoms but test positive for presence of the virus. And according to medical studies asymptomatic people are contagious.
According to the CDC, 392 of the 705 positive coronavirus cases on the Diamond Princess cruise ship were asymptomatic.
Because of the lack of widespread testing in western countries like the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK — it is still unknown how many asymptomatic individuals are spreading the virus.
Therefore, use the precautionary principle and assume asymptomatic infection is widespread and are capable of infecting others.
There is an unconfirmed news report coming from China…
The number of "silent carriers" – people who are infected by the new coronavirus, but show delayed or no symptoms – could be as high as one-third of those who test positive, according to classified Chinese government data seen by the South China Morning Post.
Viral Shedding As Long As 37 Days
So once you are sick, how long can you shed the SARS-CoV-2 virus? According to this Chinese medical study in The Lancet (one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world)…
Median duration of viral shedding was 20·0 days (IQR 17·0–24·0) in survivors, but SARS-CoV-2 was detectable until death in non-survivors. The longest observed duration of viral shedding in survivors was 37 days.
A 14 Days Quarantine Is Insufficient To Stop or Slow The Spread
[SOURCE: Wall Street Journal – "Coronavirus Symptoms Start About Five Days After Infection, New Research Finds" ]
In research published Monday online in the academic medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine, the scientists calculated that the median incubation period of the virus is 5.1 days. All told, about 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of exposure, the scientists said.
Even so, they cautioned that, as a matter of statistical probability, the 14-day monitoring and quarantine period likely would miss some cases. By their calculations, they estimated that for every 10,000 people quarantined for 14 days, slightly more than 100 or so would develop symptoms only after being released from isolation.
That means a 14-day quarantine is insufficient to atop the spread of COVID-19. Because within 20 days, those 100 "squirters" that escaped detection in quarantine would have reinfected another 10,000 people.
Routes Of Transmission
Respiratory Droplet
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). The SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
MIT mathematical epidemiologist Lydia BOUROUIBA, PhD has proven in fluid dynamics experiments that the 2 meters (6 foot) social distancing 'rule of thumb' is not enough. A sneeze can easily travel 7-8 meters (23 to 27 feet) and droplet nuclei (aerosols) can stay airborne for hours!
Fecal Transmission
As I pointed out in a previous blog post, aerosol transmission through feces occurred during the SARS outbreak of 2002 and was suspected in a Hong Kong COVID-19 outbreak.
Singapore has done an outstanding job in identifying, contact tracing and containing their COVID-19 outbreaks. They have also done outstanding in researching the SARS-CoV-2 virus. During their research published in the Journal of The American Medical Association doctors identified viral shedding likely due to fecal transmission…
There was extensive environmental contamination by 1 SARS-CoV-2 patient with mild upper respiratory tract involvement. Toilet bowl and sink samples were positive, suggesting that viral shedding in stool could be a potential route of transmission. Post cleaning samples were negative, suggesting that current decontamination measures are sufficient.
There are also medical studies that document SARS-CoV-2 near the toilets in a Chinese hospital…
Room ventilation, open space, proper use and disinfection of toilet can effectively limit aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Gathering of crowds with asymptomatic carriers is a potential source of airborne SARS-CoV-2. The virus aerosol deposition on protective apparel or floor surface and their subsequent resuspension is a potential transmission pathway and effective sanitization is critical in minimizing aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
These scientific findings means strict attention should be paid disinfecting floors (especially bathroom floors) and toilets. It also means that the clothes you wear while cleaning (or caring for a sick family member) should be removed when done, and immediately washed. It also means immediately removing clothing when you return home after being outside your house and washing it. Any virus on contaminated clothes can become resuspended (airborne) and infect people.
We do not know how significant fecal transmission is overall. Most scientists, doctors and health officials are guessing that it is a less important transmission route than droplet.
Fomite Transmission
Fomites are objects or materials which are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture. The US CDC says…
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
However fomite (and airborne) transmission is entirely plausible according to a recent medical study in the New England Journal of Medicine, looking at the survivability of SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces and in the air…
Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is plausible, since the virus can remain viable and infectious in aerosols for hours and on surfaces up to days (depending on the inoculum shed). These findings echo those with SARS-CoV-1, in which these forms of transmission were associated with nosocomial spread and super-spreading events.
So how long can SARS-CoV-2 survive on a surface?
According to the CDC: it survived for 17 days inside the Diamond Princess cruise ship. It is not known if the amount of discovered virus could infect someone, but using the precautionary principle assume it can until scientifically proven otherwise.
Airborne Transmission
Listen to this admission my Dr. Anthony FAUCI is an American immunologist who serves as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). This is what he says about airborne transmission:
In a recent article on Live Science, a reporter brought up a key point. Just because there is evidence that live SARS-CoV-2 virus can be airborne for 3 hours, doesn't mean that it is transmissible…
"We still don't know how high a concentration of viable SARS-CoV-2 is needed in practice to infect a human being, though this is something we are looking to model in the future," co-author Dylan Morris, a graduate student in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University, told Live Science in an email.
The finding that SARS-CoV-2 survives for 3 hours in the air is pretty significant given that SARS-CoV-2 seems to be far more contagious than SARS and MERS — both of which are proven to be transmissible as an aerosol. It is important to note that the survivability of SARS-CoV-2 in the air is in line with the Dr. Lydia BOUROUIBA's recent article saying that a sneeze can stay airborne for hours.
How Contagious Is SARS-CoV-2?
The term that epidemiologists use is "R0". It is pronounced "R naught."
It's a mathematical term that indicates how contagious an infectious disease is. It's also referred to as the reproduction number – and it tells you the average number of people who will catch a disease from one contagious person.
It specifically applies to a population of people who were previously free of infection and haven't been vaccinated. If a disease has an R0 of 18, one infected person will infect an average of 18 other people. If a disease like influenza has an R0 of 1 — one person will pass it on to one other person.
The R0 of SARS-CoV-2 is estimated to be 2.2 — however with the lack of testing and asymptomatic spread, the R0 number is likely to be far higher.
Death Rate
Researchers from China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention today describe the clinical findings on more than 72,000 COVID-19 cases reported in mainland China, which reveal a case-fatality rate (CFR) of 2.3%.
However, that number is ridiculously low given the videos of overwhelmed hospitals and morgues.
According to the most accurate stats we have… of the cases that have an outcome the death rate is a whopping 5%.
(The season flu typically has a death rate in the USA of o.1%)
How Long Is A Person Contagious?
Duration of viral shedding ranged between 8 and 37 days. The median duration of viral shedding was 20 days in survivors, but continued until death in fatal cases. Researchers have found that the more severe the case — the more virus is shed from the victim.
A recent German study suggests that people who are only mildly sick, are not infectious about 10 days after they start to experience symptoms. People that had mild symptoms still shed virus beyond the 10 days period, but it is not viable. Researchers were unable to grow the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a lab from collected samples after the 10 day period.
So how long should you isolate? The latest research suggests for at least 10 days after your symptoms first appear — or two days after all of your symptoms are gone. Whichever is longer.
- Shortness of Breath "Hungry for Air" (Dyspnoea)
- Fever
- "Heart attack" or chest pain
- Dry cough (lasting about 19 days). Often blood in sputum.
- Loss of appetite.
- Loss of the sense of smell.
- Loss of the sense of taste.
- Diarrhea in 1/2 of all victims
- Low Oxygenation blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤ 93%
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of respiratory failure characterized by rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs. Symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and bluish skin coloration. Among those who survive, a decreased quality of life is relatively common. There is often permanent damage to the lungs.
Hospitals Will Likely Be Overwhelmed
Initial data from Italy have shown that 9–11% of actively infected patients with COVID-19 required intensive care.
So the number of beds, ventilators, doctors and nurses are critical.
Canada which is still muddling its way through its pandemic response appears to be particularity vulnerable — based on this news article…
Canada has 1.95 acute care hospital beds per 1,000 people, fewer than any other OECD country but Mexico. (Italy, which has been overwhelmed by this coronavirus, has 34 percent more beds per capita than we do: 2.62 per 1,000 people.) Nationwide, the occupancy rate for Canada's hospital beds is over 90 percent. (To put that number into perspective, the occupancy rate for US hospital beds is 64 percent.) Canada's bed numbers and occupancy rates together imply that the "spare capacity" in our health care system is, at best, around 2 acute care beds per 10,000 people. If even a small fraction of Canadians contract COVID-19, and a non-trivial portion of those require hospitalization, our system will be overwhelmed.
Virus Persistence On Inanimate Objects
When talking about SARS-CoV-2 persistence on inanimate objects, it is important to remember just because virus can be detected on an object does not mean the virus is viable and is able to replicate in the human body.
A recent study completed by UCLA, Princeton University and the National Institutes of Health revealed how long SARS-CoV-2 was able to survive in the environment and on various surfaces…
- aerosols up to 3 hours post aerosolization.
- Copper surface 4 hours
- Cardboard 24 hours
- Plastic 2-3 days
- Stainless Steel 2-3 days
- Polypropylene plastic 3 days
If there is one saving grace in this virus it is that it doesn't seem to attack children. There are a few cases but it is rare.
While there is no concrete evidence yet, it seems that ibuprofen may make COVID-19 worse for kids, so use Tylenol as a fever reducer instead.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Here are cleaning products known by the EPA to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus. And this is the list of products is from Health Canada.
If you can't find the listed products here are two methods:
- HOUSEHOLD BLEACH (5.5% sodium hypochlorite): The CDC recommends using a 5% bleach solution (1/3 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water) to clean surfaces. Canada Health recommends a 10% diluted bleach solution (1 part regular household bleach to 9 parts water). Why the difference between 5% and 10% solutions? Canada just wants to eliminate the math and make it brain-dead easy for lumberjacks and mounties. 🙂
- DRY CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE 'High Test Hypochlorite' (HTH) also called 'pool shock' is used to disinfect swimming pools, and can be found in stores like Home Depot and Walmart. It should say 65% calcium hypochlorite on the label. A 5% HTH solution is used by the US military to decontaminate equipment. To make a 5% solution use 1/2 cup of HTH granules and 1 gallon of water.

Testing For Covid-19
There are a lot of people dead-set on getting tested, even if they have mild symptoms.
Don't waste time and limited resources. There is a severe shortage of the chemical needed for testing.
Plain and simple: if you have symptoms quarantine yourself. Treat any illness as if you do have COVID-19 and isolate yourself from others immediately. Then contact your primary doctor over the phone for instructions.
Generally, there is no need to go to the hospital unless you have problems breathing or chest pains — in which case you call 9-1-1.
Going to a hospital for mild symptoms can do two things:
- Infect health care workers (HCWs) that are desperately needed right now.
- Make your mild illness worse! The less virus (viral load) you take in, the more likely you are to survive.
As of right now, testing should be reserved for serious cases. If you need to be admitted to the hospital for breathing problems, then testing is crucial because HCWs need to know when to put you on a ventilator. The earlier they do it, the more likely you are to survive and the faster you will recover.
If the lab workers doing tests are overwhelmed by needless testing — then they won't be able to help YOU when testing is critical.
Please be clear, that there should be widespread testing in order to suppress this pandemic. However governments and the WHO failed, and we are beyond that now. Now the goal is to protect the lives of our healthcare workers – so they can save the lives of people with serious complications.
So What About False Negatives In Testing?
There are a multitude of problems around COVID-19 testing. There are reports around the world of false negatives – even a few reports of 5 to 6 false negatives.
According to this FDA fact sheet for health care workers…
When diagnostic testing is negative, the possibility of a false negative result should be considered in the context of a patient's recent exposures and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. The possibility of a false negative result should especially be considered if the patient's recent exposures or clinical presentation indicate that COVID-19 is likely, and diagnostic tests for other causes of illness (e.g., other respiratory illness) are negative. If COVID-19 is still suspected based on exposure history together with other clinical findings, re-testing should be considered by healthcare providers in consultation with public health authorities.
Re-Infection Might Be Possible
There are numerous reports in China, South Korea and Japan of recovered patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in tests long after recovery. It is unknown why.
Was the "re-infection" the result of false negative tests? Is the virus capable of laying dormant in the body like herpes? Is a "re-infected" person contagious again?
The common cold virus reinfects people. Maybe SARS-CoV-2 does too. We just don't know enough about the virus at this point.
Long-Term Lung Damage
Some patients who have recovered from the coronavirus have been left with a reduced lung capacity – and left gasping for air when walking briskly, according to many reports. This is especially true of young people that are infected. It is unknown if this damage is permanent — although it is suspected.
At Home Treatment of COVID-19
- Do NOT use ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) if you suspect you have COVID-19. There is strong evidence that it might make your illness worse.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Use a humidifier — or better — a vaporizer with Vicks VapoSteam
- Buy a digital thermometer and Oximeter

Known Risk Factors
If you have one of the risk factors below, I would not be going out into public without an N95 respirator. And even then it could be a dangerous endeavor.
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Obesity
How To Protect Yourself
Wear A Mask!
The best way to stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is to wear a respirator and eye-protection. Just like a concealed carry pistol — you ALWAYS wear the mask. It doesn't matter how small of an errand you are doing outside of your house. If you fail to wear protection and someone accidentally (or on purpose) coughs on you – it may be a death sentence.
I know that will sound dramatic to some people, and that is fine.
Social Distancing (23 to 27 feet!)
While the current advice for social distancing is 6 feet or 2 meters — that is wholly insufficient according to MIT researchers. According to research the gas cloud and its payload of pathogen-bearing droplets of all sizes can travel 23 to 27 feet (7-8 m)!

Authorities Investigating After Customers Find Anti-White Sign Posted at a Popeyes Chicken
A Missouri police department is launching an investigation after unknown actors posted an "inappropriate," anti-white sign on the drive-thru window of a local Popeyes fast-food restaurant.
"We are currently working and investigating a trespassing and possibly a related vandalism case which occurred at Popeyes located at 6475 Ronald Reagan Drive in Lake Saint Louis," the Lake St. Louis Police Department said in a Facebook statement.
"Earlier this month, several drive through menu signs were spray-painted. Today, unknown subjects posted an inappropriate sign on the drive-through window, unbeknownst to the business."
While, as mentioned previously, the identity of the suspect(s) are unknown, the authorities do not currently believe it was an employee of the Popeyes, and are asking members of the community, about 25 miles west of St. Louis, for assistance.
According to KMOV-TV in St. Louis, the message on the sign was clear:
"Effective 6-1-21 this restaurant is under new management and will reserve the right to refuse service to white people. We apologize for any inconvenience. Signed, general manager, Mason."
Check out the KMOV report here:
Residents were was shocked by the nature of the offensive message.
"I couldn't believe that someone would think that was okay," Lake St. Louis resident Don told KTVI-TV.
"I saw it all over Snapchat," Abbigail Reed, a Popeyes customer, told the station. "I just think it's kind of immature for someone to put it on there."
One Facebook user inquired, "Why are the police not posting the pics and video of the guy that did this? I guarantee there is a video from the outside cameras at the restaurant."
There was indeed surveillance video, according to police, but it was deemed inconclusive and has not yet been made available.
The Popeyes quickly replaced the offensive sign with another one reading "Sorry For The Inconvenience We're Closed For The Day We Will Be Back Tomorrow," WTVI reported.
One customer, Mark Fritsche Jr., said it was "sad" that such a decision had to be made.
"It's a very sad thought that people even came up with a joke like that," Fritsche Jr. said. "I just hope we can put a more positive input on life and kind of be more together instead of pushing farther apart. It's pretty sad."
On Thursday morning, Popeyes issued a formal statement about the incident:
"We have been made aware of the situation and are investigating the matter immediately," the company said. "This type of behavior does not align with our brand values and we take such allegations very seriously. The Franchise is cooperating with local authorities regarding this ongoing investigation."
Whether this incident was intended as a joke or a seriously malicious racial statement, it comes amid an alarming increase in the number of hate crimes around the United States.
The FBI recorded 7,314 hate crimes in 2019, the most recent year in which data is available, according to bureau figures. This represented the highest number of hate crimes in the United States since 2008, according to the BBC.
It is most unfortunate to see the country suffering from racial division in this way, and it is extremely difficult not to see identity politics as a major culprit.

I. Ensuring Global Security and the Security of Canadians
Questions the Dialogue Paper asked:
Toward a Broad Vision of Shared Global Security
Our notion of security must be based on the premise that if "the world" is not secure, Canada will not be secure. ... We must not define security narrowly, but must understand it to mean that there are social, economic, military, political and human dimensions.
The Dialogue has taken place during a period of high international tensions, with questions of war and peace very much on the minds of Canadians. Particularly in town hall meetings, passionate differences of view emerged over the merits of Canada's decision not to join the U.S.-led military coalition in the war in Iraq. A clear majority of Dialogue respondents applaud the decision taken, and support Canada's efforts to work through the United Nations. Many people want Canada to play a leading part in ensuring that multilateral institutions, particularly the UN, are fully re-engaged in those post-war tasks of "winning the peace"�though some express reservations that such measures should not legitimize a resort to "preventive" war in the absence of international sanction. Many also want Canada to be more engaged in working to solve longer-term obstacles to regional stability in the Middle East, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Although our country has not been a direct target of terrorism on the massive scale of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Canadians understand that the threat of terrorism is real and its impact extensive. Given Canada's vast territory, international exposure and reliance on trade flows, concerns about our physical safety and welfare lead some participants to call for increasing Canada's capacity to defend its land, air and sea borders from such external threats, and for cooperating in regional and global efforts to combat terrorism.
At the same time, a majority of Dialogue participants strongly urge making comprehensive human security, pursued through multilateral cooperation, an overarching objective of Canadian foreign policy. In the words of one contributor:
Human security and peace must be defined in much broader terms than the absence of violence and war. Security includes meeting the goals of equality, health, education, employment and democracy. The cornerstone of security is inextricably linked to meeting the social, political and economic needs of people and their environment.
Many people made the point that Canadians cannot expect to be secure within our borders unless more is done to address the conditions of insecurity experienced by so many around the globe. In the words of another participant:
The only way to achieve security is to work with other countries to identify and collaboratively remedy the root causes that give rise to war, terrorism and aggression, namely poverty, ignorance, inequity and injustice.
Participants also highlight the importance of children's and women's rights, the rights of indigenous peoples, and environmental concerns within the broader security agenda.
There is a range of views about how Canada can best promote human security globally through our limited resources. Some want more concentrated efforts in fewer areas; some argue for Canada to expand its capacity with military means when necessary in cases where human security and rights are gravely at risk; and still others call for more resources to be directed toward Canada's human security program and our international agenda through the Human Security Network.
Notwithstanding different views about priorities, the main message is that Canadians broadly support a multifaceted approach to security that works on both domestic and international fronts. Most respondents recognize that Canada needs effective tools such as intelligence gathering and border management in order to protect our population and economic activity. Yet such measures must also be accompanied by more investment in human security beyond our borders. Wanting to remain an open society engaged in an interdependent world, Canadians emphasize outward-looking international peace and security policies that avoid the illusion of seeking safety behind walls.
Capable Armed Forces
Our country is not about war, but we are definitely not about dodging responsibility. The soldiers, sailors and airmen are willing to sacrifice greatly and we must at least provide them with the equipment they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.
Military strength must be credible, modern and combat-capable. It is from this strength that we can provide for international peace: Canada's military must have the professional soldiers trained to fight and win, but only when necessary. When not required for fighting and winning, we must respect the Pearsonian peacekeeping model and stabilize the international peace within a strong UN and alliance framework.
Dialogue participants generally express strong support for Canada's participation in internationally sanctioned peacekeeping missions, and, to a lesser extent, for participation in ongoing stabilization or anti-terrorist operations (as in Afghanistan). Some point out that Canada's long military service in the cause of peace and freedom has not always demanded a UN mandate before sending our forces into action. There are widely shared concerns about the state of Canada's armed forces, which most participants see as an indispensable component of our security at home and abroad, and an important contributor to multilateral peacekeeping efforts. A large majority of respondents support increased resources to ensure that the Canadian forces are adequately equipped for the missions they are asked to undertake.
Most respondents also stress the need for forces that are capable of responding flexibly to a range of assignments. As one contributor observes:
Humanitarian efforts and military operations are not mutually exclusive. For example, responses to humanitarian crises in high-threat environments, such as in failed states, require combat-capable forces as much as aid workers and humanitarian organizations.
Another contributor suggests that:
... it is important to reinvest in the Canadian Forces to ensure that they have the capacity to patrol and protect our borders on their own. This requires conventional military preparedness appropriate to Canada's geographic situation and a realistic assessment of external threats, and carefully managing the delicate relationship with the U.S. in the context of continental and North Atlantic defence arrangements. ... These measures should not be adopted at the expense of continued investment in the equipment and training required to contribute actively to UN peace operations.
Respondents concerned about the militarization of international affairs urge Canada to focus on alternatives to military solutions. Some express concerns as well about Canada's potential involvement in U.S. military plans for the possible weaponization of space; and many urge devoting more effort to further, faster disarmament.
In terms of coordination and guidance for Canada's military, some respondents are concerned that decisions about resources needed for military modernization presuppose a clear statement of the Government's foreign policy priorities related to international peace and security, and to the kinds of missions forces will be expected to undertake. Another concern often expressed is that the defence and international assistance arms of Canadian foreign policy be better integrated when both are engaged in peace-supporting operations in conflict zones.
Peacebuilding, Disarmament, and Conflict Prevention
Canada can play a more active and visible role in the peaceful resolution and transformation of conflicts by focusing more closely on a limited number of specific conflicts and demonstrating the political will and committing the necessary resources to sustain engagement.
Dialogue participants identified various key concerns in this area, noting regional hot spots in the Korean peninsula, Chechnya, the Congo and Colombia, as well as the existence of new kinds of post-Cold War threats arising from the proliferation of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles among hostile regimes or potential terrorist networks. More effective Canadian leadership in peacebuilding and disarmament objectives is urged on issues including small arms, war-affected children, and nuclear non-proliferation. Participants also call on Canada to work on improving collaboration with civil-society groups and multilateral organizations on policy development and in field effectiveness, particularly with respect to post-conflict peace operations where many actors and agencies are typically involved. Policing, justice reform, human rights and governance are mentioned as areas in which Canada has a demonstrated track record and could do more in international peacebuilding efforts.
Amid some disagreement about the use of Canadian military forces in post-conflict peacebuilding, some participants stress that more attention needs to be paid to strategies for the prevention of deadly conflicts. Early warning systems, conflict management and resolution processes, and development assistance addressing sources of conflict are mentioned as meriting more support. There are also appeals to further involve knowledgeable non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in peace and disarmament activities in order to design more effective, coherent and collaborative approaches.
Multilateral Cooperation and International Law
The very nature of our country, and the values we hold dear, demand that our government pursue a foreign policy that provides full support for the preservation and advancement of international law along with increasingly progressive and democratic multilateral institutions.
Supremacy of international law and diplomatic negotiation within multilateral bodies is the key to security, not only for Canada, but for the entire planet.
One of the most consistent themes among Dialogue participants is that despite the problems highlighted by the Iraq crisis, multilateral cooperation based on international law must remain a foundation of Canadian foreign policy. Because many global problems can be addressed only through the cooperative efforts of all nations, participants underscored the importance of an effective UN system to the broader dimensions of global human security.
On the other hand, many participants note the demonstrable weaknesses and failures of the UN Security Council in the arena of collective security, as well as evident flaws in UN bodies dealing with human rights and disarmament (though some note that the UN's member states are more at fault for these failures than the institution). Participants suggest that Canada's deep knowledge of the UN system and our respected multilateral diplomacy could help to repair rifts, re-engage the United States in the UN, and push for institutional changes.
NATO is another multilateral security organization that is attracting considerable critical attention. While some see it as increasingly less relevant, others are concerned about damaging tensions within an alliance important to Canada's multilateral interests. Again, our proximity to the United States, close relations with many like-minded European countries, and diplomatic skills are invoked as reasons for us to take a leading part in discussions about the future role and operations of the alliance. To do this effectively, some argue, Canada must bolster its military and other international capabilities in order to gain credibility among its NATO peers.
Many participants focus more on Canada's role in non-military aspects of collective security. There is strong support for our part in creating the International Criminal Court, and concerns about dealing with continued U.S. opposition to this as well as to other international treaties. Canada is seen to have much to offer in the development of effective international legal norms incorporating cross-cultural values and inclusive processes. Canada is also urged to do more to support the implementation and enforcement of existing international law obligations (particularly those bearing on human rights), both by living up to our own obligations and by taking action to pressure or assist other countries in undertaking human rights and democratic governance reforms. There is wide agreement among participants that multilateral progress in these areas is important to both Canadian and global security in the long term.

Building Intelligence
As a building or facility manager, business owner, or dock operator in New York City, the safety and security of your facility should be priority number one.
You never know what kind of danger may be lurking around the corner, or even plotting from the inside, of your building.
There are several ways in which we can mitigate these risks and ensure the safety and security of our facilities, though they may not always be as apparent as you think.
Sometimes, small details can slip through the cracks and compromise the safety and well-being of not only your building, but your employees or tenants as well.
Security risks can evolve from these oversights and lead to attacks, crime, and other damages which can be harmful to not only your reputation, but your business as a whole.
The overall goal is to not be associated with any major notorious event, be it a robbery or a terrorist attack or a former employee becoming estranged and causing violence.
Instead, your building should be synonymous with safety, only being recognized for providing a safe environment and recognizable brand, product, or service.
Following these tips to improve building safety and security can help thwart acts of terrorism, would-be crimes, and other risks from taking place on your watch. a
Protect your building facility from the threat of the unknown with a reliable visitor management system.
Often times, these solutions are cloud-based visitor management systems which allow a building manager or tenants to make sure the people arriving at and entering your facility are properly credentialed and invited.
The best answer for such visitor management in New York City is offered by Building Intelligence, which developed the SV3® Software as a Service (SaaS) to provide a comprehensive solution for securing vehicles, vendors, and visitors alike for buildings, schools, warehouses, docks, and more.
With a visitor management system, you can streamline the security process by pre-registering visitors, providing a secure access card with a custom QR code for your badge reader, and issue a photo I.D. card with check-in and check-out times. You can also receive notifications to track visitors, store their visitor records on a private database, and more.
With a cloud-based system, all of this is done in a user-friendly application, allowing you to prevent unwanted guests and bulk up the visitor authorization process without compromising safety, security or efficiency.
The SV3® solutions work great for enterprise, visitor management, vehicle access, and loading dock security and scheduling, and can help you improve security and increase your facility's overall value.
Our state-of-the-art software is not only highly recognized as an industry leader, it's also award-winning and reliable.
Being able to track, manage, and authorize all of your visitors in an efficient manner is certainly the first step towards improving your building's safety and security.
By only allowing trusted visitors and vendors to access your building, you can protect yourself from property damages, risk of theft, insurance claims, unwanted personnel (including estranged employees), safety from hazardous materials, and more.
That's where the installation of outside security cameras can come in handy.
Having cameras, and even motion detection lights for the night hours, can be enough to deter potential criminals or attackers from going through with their poorly constructed plans.
Noticeable cameras signal that someone is always watching, and can increase your property's value and safety simply by keeping a watchful eye on the outside of your building.
A CCTV surveillance system on the inside can also be a wise investment, allowing you or your security personnel to track the main entryways, lobby, parking lots, and elevators.
Always make sure your cameras are up to date and working properly so that you can have proper surveillance, which can mitigate the threat of risks and also provide a proper frame of reference should anything happen.
Cameras should always be positioned in areas that aren't always easily visible to the naked eye, ensuring that all of the corners and high-traffic areas are equally covered.
Having security personnel monitor this footage in real time may be slightly less cost efficient, but can also help thwart threats in real-time.
Motion detectors and automatic lighting are also efficient ways to thwart potential wrongdoers inside or outside your facility, but improving the lighting overall can also be an effective way to increase your security.
Better lighting within your building allows you to have better clarity on your security footage while also eliminating potential nooks and crannies that criminals may use to hide or move through, especially late at night.
Good lighting should also apply to areas like the parking lot or loading docks, where a good deal of attacks or crimes are committed.
Also, especially if you are trying to improve the security of your outdoor facility or loading dock, it can be beneficial to install and maintain the fencing of the surrounding area.
Just like proper lighting can deter an attack or theft, so can the appearance of strong fences.
Loading docks provide access to critical infrastructure, so make sure you're doing all you can to increase the area's safety.
If you already have security personnel, cameras, a visitor management system, good lighting, and proximity card access for your employees, you may already be well on your way to having effective building security.
Still, you should always formulate a plan with your tenants and employees in the event of a security threat. Educate them on the importance of keeping their key cards safe, registering their visitors through your visitor management system, and have a layout of all of the entry points and exits readily available.
From there, you can formulate guidelines, standards, and procedures for securing the property and its occupants from threats and unauthorized vendors.
The safety and security of your building goes hand-in-hand with the success of your business, reputation, and well-being.
Get started on protecting it today by contacting Building Intelligence today.

We love animals and we know you love them too! Unfortunately, the majority of dogs and cats are not receiving a complete, healthy diet and many become ill and die prematurely. NuVet Labs™ main purpose is to help increase your pet's longevity and quality of life. Our products, NuVet Plus™ for Canines and NuVet Plus™ for Felines, provide the very best human-grade, natural ingredients available and utilize the latest advances in medical, veterinary and nutritional science. We pledge to adhere to the highest standards in products and services. Our goal is to maintain a lasting and caring relationship with our family of NuVet Plus™ customers and their pets they love.
Our scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals."

Transmitting live "Electronic Consignment Security Declarations" is the latest tool to achieve a more reliable and paper free supply chain. The project, now introduced in Switzerland, could mark a significant step forward for the entire industry if not just limited to the Alpine region but implemented on a broader scale.
Less paper, enhanced security, fewer errors in documentation, and a faster flow of shipments from their origin to the cargo compartment of an aircraft – these are the main achievements e-CSD
offers to all parties involved.
The new electronic declaration highlights "who" has secured each consignment as well as "how" and "when" it was secured. With its standardization of both the process and the documentation of such evidence, e-CSD will replace redundant security declarations in various formats, and will simplify validity checks to ease the operational work, reads a statement given by Swiss WorldCargo.
IATA officials applaud: "The e-CSD is a key facilitator for securing the whole supply chain," enthuses Des Vertannes, the organization's Global Head of Cargo. "By establishing that cargo and mail consignments have been correctly secured upstream of the airport and through transit points, bottlenecks and delays will be reduced," he reasons.
This comment is supported by Christoph Kuhn, Project Engineer at Swiss WorldCargo by saying: "The adoption of e-CSD in Switzerland is a big commitment of the regulator in the electronic age and another important milestone on the road to full implementation of e-AWB."
Hopefully, that will be the case in the near future.
A lot of persuasion is needed
At present, shippers, forwarding agents, customs authorities, and other parties involved in the supply chain first have to be convinced of the benefits e-CSD is offering them. In Switzerland, an IG Air Cargo named group of volunteering firms commenced a year ago testing the workability of e-CSD in day-to-day operations. The trio is made up by representatives of logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel, members of handling agent Cargologic, and the entire team of Swiss WorldCargo. "The results have been extremely encouraging," summarizes the airlines' Head of Transportation Processes Christine Barden on the achievements made so far. This is confirmed by the country's regulator Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) that recently has approved the e-CSD standards.
A series of charm offensives
Next, as many shippers and forwarding agents have to be convinced to scrap paper work and transmit their security data electronically to customs authorities, handling agents and also the carriers of their choice. A task for the IG members that meanwhile have initiated road shows in Zurich, Geneva and Basel for presenting the benefits of the new e-CSD standards to the main air cargo stakeholders in Switzerland.
There, Peter Somaglia, President of IG Air Cargo urged the participants to give up old habits and be open for new solutions. The manager said: "the introduction of e-CSD has two practical effects: it eliminates one paper copy and secondly it replaces the individual statements requested by various government authorities in the past by one single standard message."

Staples senior Jason Gandelman — who earlier this year was a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search, in addition to taking 3rd place at a Harvard national debate team, co-captaining the engineering team, and serving as co-chairman of the Youth Commission — has added another honor to his impressive resume.
Jason placed 3rd at last week's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair's 2010 Grand Awards ceremony in San Jose, California. He was honored in the Biochemistry Division for his work: "Bioinformatics and Synthetic Approaches to Studying Advanced Glycation End-Products in Eukaryotes."
"06880" has no idea what that means. But Jason has spent the past 3 years studying it, through Staples' innovative Authentic Science Research program.
We do understand that he worked spectacularly hard, and was stunningly successful, at something important, and something he loves.
And for that, our hat is humbly off to him.

TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2020 /CNW/
Qtrade Investor and Servus Credit Union have been awarded top honours for customer service in Canadian financial services, as measured by the 2019 Surviscor Service Level Assessment review. Qtrade Investor is the winner for the fifth straight year in the self-directed brokerage industry, while Servus Credit Union is the winner for the first time in the Canadian Banking industry. The review, now in its 15th year, analyzed over 6,700 service enquiries sent between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.
"Over the past decade, online access and mobile devices became the new norm for just about everything, but that shift hasn't translated into improved customer service. Canadians pay more for services but get less support from financial service firms who promote digital availability while masking deteriorating service responsiveness," said Glenn LaCoste, President of Surviscor Inc. "The confusion grows when we looked at non-branch firms, as they provide inadequate responsiveness and there is no alternative for customers. We commend Qtrade Investor and Servus Credit Union for maintaining high standards of service and demonstrating a strong commitment to the customer," added Mr. LaCoste.
"Providing outstanding service to our clients has always been one of Qtrade Investor's key values. We are very proud to be the first organization to win for five consecutive years. It's an achievement that directly reflects our ongoing commitment to our clients and recognizes the dedication and professionalism of our client service team." – Christine Zalzal, SVP, Head of Online Brokerage & Digital Wealth.
"We've always prided ourselves on our member services and it's great to have this validated externally as well as by our members," said Don Norris, Vice President Marketing & Communications at Servus Credit Union. "We provide them with an extensive suite of financial fitness tools, when and where they want these, and are always striving to improve our responsiveness to any questions they may have about these products and services."

Internet censorship, also otherwise known as content filtering, has been in the increase across different countries especially in the past few years and has become one of the major global problems. More than 25 countries around the world are now engaged in internet censorship practices. Those countries with the most extensive censorship policies have been found to commonly block access to blogs, news, human rights organizations and other web services that are considered undesirable or threatening. One such country is Syria, which is found to have one of the dreadful track records on violations of human rights. Here we provide you the best way to bypass internet censorship in Syria.
Access to Internet in Syria
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services and high speed internet services have been available in Syria since the year 2003. The countries main cities and tourist destinations have been enjoying 3G technology for years now. Despite some issues in speed, the country has about 4 million internet users, which accounts to about 17% of the overall population of the country.
Internet Censorship in Syria
The internet censorship in Syria is administered by two government bodies: the Syrian Information Organization (SIO) and the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (STE). In Syria, several websites have been banned mostly for political reasons and people who access them will be arrested. In addition to this wide filtering of web contents, the government also monitors the use of internet very closely and detains those citizens who try to misuse it.
The Syrian government even blocks Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) completely and hence, you will require a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to bypass internet censorship in Syria.
Bypass Internet Censorship in Syria
If you are located in Syria, the best way in which you can access the internet in the country is by using a VPN connection. In order to obtain a VPN connection, you must first sign up with a reliable VPN provider. Most VPN providers offer monthly, quarterly, half yearly and yearly subscription packages. You can choose whichever package suits you the best.
Using a VPN service will enable you to access all the websites that are originally blocked by the Syrian government. In addition, a VPN connection also provides you with excellent online privacy, security and anonymity, thus enabling you to bypass internet censorship in Syria and preventing the Syrian government from monitoring or tracking your online activities. When you connect to your VPN service, all your online activities and data transfers will be completely encrypted, making it impossible for snoopers, cybercriminals, hackers and even the ISP and the government to go through your browsing history. It also masks your Syrian IP address with the one from its server in a different country, making you stay anonymous throughout your browsing session.
Top VPN Providers for Syria
The following chart displays the top 5 VPN service providers that you can use to bypass internet censorship in Syria:

Carolyn A.
I love this place – makes me feel like I can look forward to going to the dentist! Kid friendly and they are always gentle. : ) I'd recommend this guy out of all the others in the area (I know there are a lot to choose from).
Downside: cheeks hurt from smiling too much.
Renee S.
Great experience and the dentist is very kind. Glad I finally found someone who is gentle and caring.
Amanda M.
The nicest dentist I have ever been too. He is nice, explains what he is doing and his staff is great. If you hate the dentist, Dr. Anderson will put you at ease.
Karen Sullivan
Best Dentist EVER!
Russ G.
I used to be terrified of dentists. I finally found one in Santa Rosa who put me at ease and changed my attitude. When I moved back to Fairfield, I kept commuting to Santa Rosa for my dental care. When that dentist retired, I took the advice of my wife and kids who were already clients of Dr. Anderson and tried him out. It was a seamless transition. Dr. Anderson is thorough, careful, hygienic, and has always answered my questions and made me very, very comfortable. Conquer your fear if you were like me and go to Dr. Anderson. He is great!
Jcee I.
If you are looking for dental care in the Fairfield area I highly recommend Anderson Dental. The staff is very friendly and professional. Dr. Anderson always has the best dental hygienists they will not cause you any pain or discomfort! Also, the staff is very kid friendly, they entertained my toddler during my cleaning. I love going to the dentist and you will too if you go here!!
Rebecca B.
I love Dr. Anderson cleaning my teeth! Lol I have loved the dental office employee too! Been going for over 25 years and have been treated very well!
Ramona Y
Dr. Mark Anderson is detail oriented, meticulous, and listens carefully to what you tell him. The staff are friendly and and they all work to accommodate my TMJ challenges and allergies. Dr. Anderson regularly attends dental conferences to stay current with advances in dentistry. I highly recommend them.
Russell G.
After a lifetime of fearing dentists, I changed to Anderson Dental Care. I have never regretted it. I now have received 20 years of competent and compassionate care. I won't change unless Dr. Mark retires.
Anna R
We have been clients at Anderson Dental Care for about 20 years now and we love them. We changed dentists about once a year for 7 or 8 years before we found them. The staff is the greatest!
Carla G.
Excellent experience. I am grateful I was given such quality care, time and options for future care…..all this, and it was an unplanned office visit until just hours before. What more could I ask for?
Phil D.
As always, I had a great experience today with Dr. Anderson and staff. I was seen on time and all went well with the work to be done. It is always a good experience coming to Anderson Dental.
