Topic: Shashi Tharoor

It is not the time to rake up such scientific issues about the new virus and murky the political waters. But nothing better can be expected from a third-grade seedy politician like Sashi Tharoor, who has his worth of shady dealings behind him. As a low-level retainer of a family that had a tyrannical control over India for the most part of its existence since 1947, nothing better can be expected. Now, look at the facts.

In the initial days of the COVID-19 outbreak, the US decided refused to accept the WHO-approved test and decided to develop their test and testing kits. The quest for “our own testing” caused the US to lose almost one month of crucial time before their bungled testing developed process could approve something useful. The disastrous trajectory the US is now having with nearly one million infected and over 50,000 dead and dead bodies being disposed of in mass burial sites in the heart of New York is primarily attributed to this vanity of needing “my testing.” There is no doubt faulty RT-PCR test kits coming from China, maybe because of the rushed manufacturing processes. India can very well produce RT-PCR tests based on international standards. But speed is the essence here, which may require us to use test kits from abroad.

The RT-LAMP test mentioned here is still in experimental deployment in many other countries. It can not replace RT-PCR until more mass scale studies are done for its reliability. It may prove to faster and reliable, but it depends on more reviews. This test can’t be approved by someone in ICMR signing a piece of paper. The second test mentioned in an antibody test, which can’t replace RT-PCR tests that detect the virus. Blood tests can compliment RT-PCR tests and could be useful in surveillance. Various blood tests are available in the world now – by one count over 300 – but not one among these has been deployed anywhere in the world. A lot of these tests have sensitivity problems and could potentially come with dangerously erroneous data. The pandemic management strategies if are based on such inaccurate data will endanger the lives of millions of people.

These Congressi idiots have really nothing in hand towards positive contributions to any problem except sermons, preaching without practice, endless suggestions without being able to fathom the nature of the problem, doing all kind of futile researches of -this could have been done..that should have been implemented etc., ignoring the views of the entire world spectrum including WHO that Indian Govt is the best so far in handling COVID – 19.
Suddenly they appear to possess all wisdom and show off foolishly that they are so wise.
These nincompoops have no mission, vision or positive plan of action to any kind of problem. Really the bankruptcy is at the lowest ebb in Congress. Spare them from lock down and they will flood the space with press conferences, Shahin bagh support, Tukde gang sympathy and probably illuminating Iftaar parties with Owessis, Pathans, Khans and Syeds with exemplary minority appeasement culture. Leave it to Sadhus lynching case, these Cong stooges, Buddhu jibis, sickulars, award wapsis, HR activists will be found immaculately in oblivion as if holed up in their place of birth and origin at ante natal stage.
SHAME – SHAME – SHAME
