We need more studies on the double mutant strain found in India. Experts across the world have been asking for India to do more testing, research so we can know how infectious it is and vaccine impact.
Now it has been found in 10 countries. #covid #doublemutant
We knew about the double mutant strain since last year, only announced earlier this year. If we studied it more extensively, we could have anticipated the second wave better #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia #DoubleMutant
A double mutant case was discovered in California a few weeks ago, then many cases in England and its now spread to 10 countries #DoubleMutant #COVID19India
How effective is the vaccine against the double mutant variant? We need to know more, vaccine developers may have to tweak them. #DoubleMutant #COVID19India

Therein lies the rub. It's the Allahabad High Court that has ordered the UP cities lockdown, given the magnitude of the crisis we could all see.
Then calling out the appalling amount of money spent on elections, and so little on healthcare. #thread #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia
And the Telangana High Court orders Govt take a call on weekend lockdown and curfew as well.
Lockdowns are the last resort when govts have failed at all other measures #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia
Delhi to go under lockdown .. Rajasthan under restrictions.
Maharashtra already has restrictions and now more expected.
Lockdowns the last step in the many measures to contain the spread of covid. We missed an opportunity to aggressively vaccinate when numbers were low. #COVID19

When people use phrases like '110%' it's immediately concerning.
So where is this 110% oxygen generation going? Why are we hearing complaints from various parts of country regarding oxygen shortage?
'24,000 Cases In Delhi Today, Short On Oxygen, Beds: Arvind Kejriwal'

End of the day we have a huge problem between farmers and animals that destroy their crop. Needs a solution so farmers don't resort to firecrackers & tragic #elephant deaths like in Kerala. Mr Javadekar had supported culling of nilgai etc because of this

#RavishKumar 'the state today has established full control over the media and the corporations. The implication of this control over the media and in turn your information flow is that it limits and narrows the scope of your citizenship' #MagsaysayAward
Do listen to #RavishSpeech ‘Disagreement is the 'atma' (soul) of democracy and citizenship. The democratic atma is under relentless attack every day’ #RavishKumar
The Us vs Them approach that seeks to silence us- "There are only two types of people in this news universe narrative: the anti-nationals and us. It's the classic "us" and "them" technique" #RavishKumar #RavishSpeech
