Headlines about
#NeoCoV
have already put people in a tizzy.
1. The scientists are talking about a possibility and there are no human cases.
2. Transmission to humans is rare.
3. It is still a non-peer reviewed pre-print.
Headlines really need to stop scaring readers.

Lot of people with privilege who don't take advantage of it as she says in the end are the people we want to look up to. Not her thinking privilege is there to make use of and then call yourself hard working. How did she not piss away her degree? By creating an inspired FB page?
@minimalismbitch
It's just unfortunate how this was considered as an afterthought and now Pfizer plans to conduct trials.
How can they not think about something that would affect close to 45% of the population taking the vaccine leaves me dumbfounded.
It's a welcome step. Enough cynical data to show that booster dose is helping people& protecting them from infection, re-infection & also if they got it the impact is very minor:Dr N Trehan, Chairman, Medanta on Covid booster dose for adults from Apr 10 at private vaccine centres
Only 6% of the vaccines between May 1 and September 22 were administered by the private players in India.

Also just in case if you would like to read more, I did a piece for BOOM Live in April. Reports from India only started after May as a lot of the menstruating age group wasn't even receiving the vaccines before that.

The normal RT- PCR is within the capped rates. The rapid which is supposed to be available for cheaper in the market, is being charged a bomb.
Looting people just because they are coming from abroad?

has been highlighting disparities in these studies since months. Wondering what he has to say.
Even though ICMR has updated its form, on ground the situation is quite different. The RTPCR sample collection form does not ask if previous sample was positive or if vaccine was received.

Doctors and health care workers are human. We need laws to protect them.
How 23-year-old Dr. Vandana was killed by a patient under the influence of substance was uncalled for. I hope the perpetrator gets the harshest punishment.

No. It suggests that combining the two different dosages the average is 70%.
Two doses have to be taken irrespective of the dosage. The 90% was seen wherein they first received a shot with half the dosage and then the second shot had full dosage.
62%-both shots same dosage.
@agneeghosh
I was in the same boat last year. Gave up Harvard, Hopkins, Boston, North Carolina, Emory, Michigan. The top colleges in public health. Funds didn't work out.
But girl, great things will.
People wearing masks in the Mumbai local to "protect ourselves", sorry to burst your bubble but the mask won't save you if an infected person isn't wearing one.
It only creates a fear in the mind of those not wearing one.
Health workers need it, not you.

Also, by the time these investigations were conducted, human to human transmission had already been established in China.
I clearly said possibility.
Received admits from some of the best ranked public health schools in the US and a letter from Hopkins admin asking why I didn't apply after speaking to them. Unfortunately had to reject them.

All of us know it wasn't Shilpa Rao they voted for but Ranbir.
SRKreatures, Ranbircels spoiling what's about songs and not actors or movies.
I honestly like KHNH but almost two decades later if you voluntarily ask me to listen to a song from that decade, it won't be the first five I play.
Kajra Re definitely would be one of the top 3.

I'm going to touch wood and say Hinge worked well for me. A month into talking and hanging out, I knew he was a walking talking green flag and girly here has a lot of work to do. 4 months later, I still think that stays. I smile as I sleep and when I wake up.
This is insane. Don't let the Hindi abomination of Zingaat govern your decision.
Marathi zingaat forces everyone, and I mean everyone, to dance. Don't see that with chaiyya all the time.
On Saturday, India clocked more than 1 crore vaccinations in a single day for the first time in 2 months. Nearly 30 lakh jabs out of these were 1st doses.
Nothing addresses vaccine hesitancy quite like a new variant or the possibility of a new wave does.

It's so funny to see them lauding the rescue as a great India moment, when the labourers shouldn't have been stuck in the first place. Silkyara's safety guidelines weren't met. How did the governments allow it to be initiated?
If checking was done, no one would be stuck.
Silkyara tunnel rescue is among India’s most joyous successes in a long time. No lesser moment than any World Cup win. Shows India will even cut through the Himalayas to bring back its own, whatever the odds. Great credit for the incredible coordination among multiple agencies.
Hello! Please know that the medical knowledge and healthcare is beyond clinical and surgical streams. Please get out of this myopia. There are public health specialists spending restless nights planning and executing health programmes so that you are protected from diseases.
Suicide is a public health issue and when combined with all the other existing issues, it is more often than not ignored.
2020, India reported the highest ever deaths by suicides since 1967 (the date of publicly available data)
The number of suicides is the highest since 1967 and many of these deaths have been attributed due to debilitating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To all the health reporters and media houses,
I know we are all worried about the new mutant strain but you cannot start claiming that every body travelling from the UK and who are testing positive carry the strain.
The genome of each sample needs to be sequenced.

Moving to comms and journalism as somebody who didn't study either or english literature, showed me that even creative fields can be mechanical, rigid towards their approach.
Maybe letting go of the hesitancy one step at a time, leads to the best creative work.

Another virus from China, human-human transmission still unknown. 35 cases have not been in the same environment.
#Langyavirus
is a wait and watch but a sign of the changing and debilitating environmental conditions with the existence of monkeypox, polio, and COVID.
Mumbai cases drop to 13k after record high of 20k+, but so do tests.
Only 59k tests today unlike the 70k+ tests on the days of record high city COVID cases. Let's not celebrate too soon.

As I have responded to a comment earlier. That was a new virus already present in humans.
This has been around since 2013 and hasn't affected humans yet.
Please take the pain of googling, may be or read this. Thanks.
NeoCov is all over the news. Some facts, before we panic.
This “not so new virus” was identified around 2013 in bats in S Africa, while looking for ancestors of the MERS CoV.
Note: This virus has not infected man, and has not killed anyone.
