13 May 2021 Was science ever at the heart of India’s Covid Strategy? This question is repeatedly raised in my mind, because, no amount of answering it waters it down. Not just the simple rejection of R0 or Rt number in the very early days of last February/March when the strategy to fight this pandemic […]
9 May 2021 We are now getting snippets of cases as anecdotal evidence of doctors who are dying of Covid19 after getting their shots! First was a case of a US based doctor who had come to India and died of Covid here, then there were reports of senior doctors of KGMU and now clinicians […]
8 May 2021 It is very easy for Indians now to give up. It seems that our problems are not just because of now, but because for decades we have evaded the investment that our health warranted and our private sector did not get the kind of incentives it needed to step up to the […]
6 May 2021 This is exactly how one foresaw this surge and its management.

27 April 2021 Right now it seems like each moment is an eternity, there appears to be a Dance of Death, one that plays out with people struggling, gasping as if in a trance, before dropping dead. The science of Corona viruses and particularly that of this SARS CoV2 with her posse of variants of […]
22 April 2021 The Chinese are not just harassing the Taiwanese, they are actually testing concepts they have hitherto simply studied in paper or observed the other Carrier operators conduct, including that of her western neighbour India, because China despite her tall claims of historical naval prowess and other revisionisms, knows the truth more than […]
