Sunlight,disinfectant joke from Trump

Do you believe sunlight,ultraviolet and disinfectants such as bleach and alcohol can be used inside human body to cure coronavirus ? I don’t , I believe a lot of people don’t , but Donald Trump, the president of united state suggested to the public that it may work in the briefing of the recent news conference . This sounds crazy, people may start to ingest bleach or go to the beach with a bottle of Vodka to enjoy the sunlight and ignore the physical distancing rule. Trump may destroy what the country is fighting vary hard for recently to slow down the spread of the virus to make time for vaccine development . Please, as an U.S. president, if you don’t know something, don’t pretend you do, it will get a lot of people killed.

When he talked about this misleading information in the briefing , he kept looking to the public health expert Dr. Deborah Birx seating of the side , this poor expert appeared to struggle with how to respond , she couldn’t say no to the president in front of the reporters except she didn’t want the job anymore and she couldn’t say yes too because she knew this is totally wrong and would destroy her reputation.

Data model — Virtual data fields

Working as a Guidewire for a while , I usually work more and think less , when I tried to use a data field, I just found it out in data dictionary and used it . Recently , I had job interview because my contract is going to end soon , during the interview , the interview asked what is a virtual field , I found that I couldn’t give the definition clearly . This is too bad and I may lose a good chance because this. Here , I want to explain what it is in case others or myself want to review it later.

  • Data fields can be physical fields or virtual fields in data model
  • physical fields can be stored in a given db table’s columns
  • Virtual fields are defined in code and won’t be stored in db table, for example : a virtual field — Fullname = FirstName+MiddleName+LastName , the field FullName will be generated by code which will add FirstName,MiddleName and LastName.
  • in the data model portal page , for a virtual field, there will be a “virtual property” in the property description .
