Just putting these out to ensure there is no widespread panic.

#China's issues could be down to a combo of rraaons. I'm in touch with a few SMEs who are still studying this medically.

1. Chinese vaccines aren't great with #Omicron variants

2. They did not vaccinate their elderly population as much. Less than 50% vaxxed

3. Sadly, similar to HongKong in early 2021, many elders will perish in this wave

4. Owing to severe lockdowns, looks like herd immunity ain't all that great in #China. We need more medical analysis to confirm this

5. These variants moving around in China are already prevalent in other places like the USA & Europe

6. More genomic sequencing needs to be done

*A thread on why the trouble in #China is real*

#Singapore is one of the best test cases to judge the sentiments in #China. Now I gather that many Mainland Chinese families living in 🇸🇬are shipping essential medicines to their loved ones in 🇨🇳owing to a lack of stocks.
#COVID

Reports show that anxious relatives in #Singapore are waiting for hours together in long queues to procure medicines and then courier them to addresses in #China.

#COVID

Seeing this, Singapore's Ministry of Health has advised the public to buy medicines for their own use only.

The major drugs being shipped from SG to 🇨🇳 include the painkiller Panadol & the traditional Chinese medicine #LianhuaQingwen.

Now, there is a story about LianhuaQingwen!

🛑
Indian army personnel sustained multiple Injuries at the #Tawang faceoff but also ensured a higher number of injuries on the Chinese side. The incident is supposed to have happened on December 9th.

#ArunachalPradesh #India #China #PLA

Both sides disengaged soon after the face-off. There are unconfirmed reports of the Indian Army capturing 10 #PLA soldiers soon after the incident and later releasing them. No official version of the same so we can choose not to focus on the same for now.

#India #China #Tawang

@detresfa_

#Tawang was always going to be a flash point between #India and #China considering China's claims inside Bhutan and at #ArunachalPradesh.

Jameza/Jameesha #Mubin was 29y.o. man from the area #Ukkadam.

Reports say that he was radicalised by the #IS philosophy and was planning an #EasterBombing style operation in #Coimbatore and was planning to kick start the same from Konniyamman temple or Kotta Eswaran temple.

It is also being said that he was already on the watchlist of the #Tamilnadu police as he had tried to set off an explosion few years ago.

He is also set to have close contacts with Mohammed Azharuddin, now in #Kerala jail for his involvement with #ISIS.

It is important to know that Azharuddin had close contacts with #ZahranHashim, the chief mastermind of the #EasterBombings in #Srilanka in 2019.

Mubin was NOT driving a gas vehicle but a petrol vehicle and the early triggering of the cylinder could have been an accident.

Last night, a distant relative of my mother (an old couple) notified her of not being able to reach their son (Let us call him Mr. X) who lives alone in Secunderabad. Mr. X was not answering his phone for the past few days. The old couple shared his house address.

@SwiggyInstamart

Given it was really late on a Sunday night, my mother decided to take a chance with @SwiggyInstamart by choosing some biscuits and juice items to be delivered there. Her idea was to check on Mr. X & ensure he was safe and sound. A police complaint was the next option.

@Swiggy

The Swiggy delivery man went up to the area (@ 9.15pm IST) but could not find the right house as the address seemed confusing. It was eventually found that the address was not incorrect. After a lot of searching by the Swiggy man, it was deemed futile to continue the search.
