So we are back to a series of demonstrations and protests. Readers would recall, how I have consistently taken the view that Thai State is acting in utter disregard to the simple nature of demand of the people, to be held accountable and answerable to them, and how even in the last decades of the […]
17 October 2020 As expected the repurposed stuff did not work. after all Remdesivir was being used for Ebola (filo virus), there is no anti viral drug (Lipinavir/ritonavir too) yet which is successful against Corona Viruses in general out there. We already had major doubts about Hydroxychloroquine. We also knew that interferons like Tocilizumab and […]
15 October 2020 What scientists are wholehearted in agreement is that our planet Earth has seen an unprecedented period called Halocene, which has seen what we call the seasons of climate that is quite common to all cultures. Of course, Upanishads do mention how initially there was no sense of time, and Death the Progenitor […]
14 October 2020 One of the key elements that sort of put people off was all the models that initially estimated that our known world would get overwhelmed by the pandemic. What most people who now pooh poohed these models then and now, do not understand is that with whatever little understanding they had of […]
13 October 2020 One of the biggest drawbacks in the efforts of the global community to fight this pandemic is how to an extent tools for number crunching, modelling and assessments of predictive analytics actually threw off a straight forward narrative of science. A narrative that said that this novel corona virus, SARS CoV2 was […]
11 October 2020 It can be dismissed as the opinion of a matinee idol in an arena where he doesn’t have expertise. https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2020/oct/10/vijay-deverakonda-picks-dictatorship-over-democracy-saysall-people-not-worthy-of-voting-right-2208438.html Yet the man who has a roll call of characters like Deverakonda does, with the kind of ability to emote raw emotions as he did, I am actually of the view that […]
9 October 2020 For all the geostrategic play many are actually going about discounting what I would call the domestic and the immediate for China. Just look at Taiwan, which appeared increasingly amenable at one point to sort of coexisting with China, even under the One China Policy, which America had under Nixon endorsed, which […]
9 October 2020 The ratcheting of international opinion was bound to happen if you were a rising global power threatening the status quo, especially when a infectious disease that you could have been more alert to and more forthcoming, is the source for much of the world’s grief this year. I am not in that […]
7 October 2020 It would seem that virus and vaccine were in many ways intertwined, for the first true vaccine was Edward Jenner’s for Small Pox, and from that early and perhaps the greatest success where a vaccination would eradicate a disease itself, vaccination has now come a long way. In a sense, it is […]
6 October 2020 Sometimes a simple handling of a public event will inform you of how incredibly the state works, the one for which all citizens pay their taxes for, the many who volunteer or sign up to work for, because, it is a kind of unwitting stress test on the various nuts and bolts […]
