Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology director Vinay K. Nandicoori says ‘hybrid immunity’ studies are needed to detect the kinds of population getting infected in every wave.
On Thursday, India reported 1,16,898 cases, up from 13,159 on 29 Dec. Second wave took 63 days for this progression, while 1st wave didn't touch 1 lakh daily cases at all.
India’s daily Covid numbers have risen to 58,097 on 4 Jan from 5,541 on 13 Dec. Lowest mark before 2nd wave was 8,579 cases on 1 Feb, and it took 53 days to hit 59,085 on 25 March.
Researchers found the death rate in India among Covid patients with at least one existing health condition was 5.7%, compared to 0.7% in those otherwise healthy.
The stuttering vaccination program and a lack of clarity on how & where the second wave was virulent are making it difficult to figure out what a third will look like.
Since July, Tamil Nadu has been organising virtual and in-person training for nurses to handle young Covid patients, apprehending a spike in infections among kids and infants in the 3rd wave.
India may see a worsening of its outbreak as soon as this month, with the next wave peaking with less than 100,000 infections a day, or nearly 150,000, the IIT experts estimated.
National Covid-19 Supermodel Committee head Prof. M. Vidyasagar says the projections, based on SUTRA model, have not been shared with the central govt yet.
Rather than functioning as conventional propaganda, the video operates as a device for interpretation, subtly shaping expectations about future developments in China’s naval trajectory.
Vance, originally sceptical about US launching strikes against Iran, is reported to be worried that the US does not have enough interceptors and offensive missiles, something he has raised with Trump.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
