One could get good answers from a philosophy community, I agree. My original motivation was getting answers from people in general further than philosophy-subscribed people, almost like trying to start a discussion with friends, you know? One can always do own research or ask an AI otherwise.
There’s no ground for blaming this virus outbreak on a specific country,
There’s ground for making them responsible for not avoiding at all costs spreading that, for lying/deception/manipulation, for prosecuting health professionals early reporting on the sarscov-19… and still hiding the truth, making it inaccessible; they are afraid, guilty of something very big. At that point, we should have no such worldwide pandemics. This caused and causes many pain, suffering, that could have been avoided. I will not forget, I can’t say I can forgive (all governments included)

i’m saying this from anecdotal evidence. i took supplements, complete plant-based proteins, seeds/nuts, … still was having negative effects. medics, nutritionists told me to stop with such vegan diet
And never suggest anyone to be vegan or vegetarian (would you like leading people you care for being unhealthy, dying early?). Suggest decreasing animal products production and consumption, mainly thinking about sustainability (emissions) and healthy issues (evidence of utraprocessed red meat is carcinogen), and unnecessary suffering because of consumerism. Take veganism, vegetarianism as a your own philosophy if you wish.
No. Being vegan is unhealthy, regardless of taking artificial supplements. You will most likely be deficient of B12, vitamin D, calcium, … Also vegetal protein is different from animal protein; afaik animal protein is better and easier to digest for humans. You notice the vegan effects it with time: cognitive functions diminish, weaker, hair becomes unhealthy like hair loss, …
So if you want, take vegetarianism as a compromise.
I see. For me, life itself is order (or dynamical order https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/10/4/42), while many or most events we experience are disorder leading to our death (there are discussions on the possible Universe’s entropy increase and thus disorder). So, as humans, we have to work to maintain the order and progress (see also positivism) for our self-preservation, self-replication, and desires. This seems correlated with the idea of the game of black and white, also yin and yang. One could wonder why it has to be that way; why our natural fear/panic of actual death, disorder, chaos.
Life is chaos, order is just chaos of lesser magnitude.
By that, do you mean life itself or events which a living being can experience?
It is a simple and powerful idea. That’s good.
Stoics discovered it a while ago, there’s no point to life.
I am not much familiar with it, but wasn’t Stoicism’s life meaning about following Stoic’s virtues which requires healthy interaction with other humans (ideally virtuous ones for better influences) and nature for a meaningful/flourishing life (one becoming the best possible version of oneself) achieving one’s purposes/goals beyond just surviving?
As far as I know, the existentialism and cosmological nihilism philosophies that said life has no meaning from a cosmological interpretation.

Hindus … improve balance by dharma
I will have to look at that. Thanks!
We can all agree; meanwhile nobody does anything… The individual can try to adapt using available resources as to not develop or try dealing with issues: spirituality and evidence-based therapy is a good start, and I believe that should be taught since childhood.
