Your idea is good . But there are few things
- We need to have kits with high sensitivity.
- Suppose the husband/wife had mild infection which was taken care of by their immune system and then the children contacted it ,so not testing the kids may not be the ideal situation.
- Why are we focussing on testing the asymptomatic ppl without any significant history. They can get the infection after they have tested negative . It's impossible to do one round of testing for a large group of population and rule out any Corona spread ,even if it's in a hotspot area.
But otherwise your idea is awesome and maybe the most practical idea I have seen on any platform recently

My issue with the curent procedure is that our 14 day detection period isn't really working.
Aside from Jammat how are people getting infected 35 days after lockdown. This means people aren't even seeing severe symptoms acter 14 days of incubation period.

Stats for my side of india..10 active cases. Now those with connections stuck in delhi and other hot spots with their swanky cars are lining up on border to get inside the state by hook or crook.

Himachal’s Mehatpur border chock-a-block as thousands queue up to enter the state

The queue extended 3km into Punjab; social distancing went for a toss as people jostled to get screened

social distancing .. what is that .. let us spread as much as we can

As Himachal allows residents to return, thousands line up at Punjab's Mehatpur border

As the Himachal Pradesh government allowed its residents stuck in other states to return home, thousands today lined up at Mehatpur border in Una in the night.

Chennai has population of 70 lakhs as per 2011 census , I am sure it might have crossed 90 lakhs as of today .

The point is population density for the tiny island of iceland 3.6 lakhs is very less.

For big island of NZ 49 lakhs is also very less densely populated

the reason i am so pissed out when someone compared NZ or Iceland handling the virus situation with India and try to bash our govt and praising NZ PM as some superwoman

C'mon..dont sweat on it yo
its cuz theres election coming up in NZ in the next 3 to 4 months..and they will do all the stunts to win the election.
The super woman thing was just that stunt.

The country will be self-reliant by the end of May 2020 in producing indigenous rapid Test and RT-PCS diagnostic kits—Dr. Harsh Vardhan

“At least half a dozen candidate vaccines are being supported of which four are in an advance stage.” - Dr. Harsh Vardhan
36PM by PIB Delhi



Union Minister of Science & Technology, Health & Family Welfare and Earth Sciences, Dr Harsh Vardhan, here today reviewed, through videoconferencing, the various initiatives undertaken by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and its Autonomous Institutes (AIs) and its Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) – BIRAC and BIBCOL, to tackle the current COVID-19 crisis especially with respect to progress made in indigenous development of vaccine, Rapid Test and RT-PCR diagnostic Kits.


Secretary, DBT, Dr. Renu Swarup informed that DBT has evolved a multi-pronged research strategy and action plan for immediate response as well as for long-term preparedness to tackle COVID-19. These multifaceted efforts include research towards development of candidate vaccines, therapeutics, and suitable animal models for COVID-19 as well as development of indigenous diagnostics and genomic studies on the host and pathogen. The DBT and its PSU,
Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) has announced a COVID-19 Research Consortium Call to support Diagnostics, Vaccines, Novel Therapeutics, Repurposing of Drugs or any other intervention for control of COVID-19.


During interaction with DBT scientists, Union Minister was informed about various computational methods being developed by DBT labs/AIs to predict potential antiviral drug molecules. In another strategy, surrogates of the virus are being developed representing one or more critical steps in virus lifecycle and inhibitors are being tested. Work is in progress to isolate neutralizing antibodies either from the patients recovered from COVID-19 or from human antibody libraries. Also various AIs of DBT are working on development of candidate vaccines which are at various stages of pre-clinical studies with an overall aim to demonstrate the proof of concept and immunogenicity and safety evaluation prior to clinical testing. At the moment, at least 9 of these studies are in early stages and one delivery and adjuvant system for improving the immunogenicity of candidate vaccine is at the advanced stage of development.


While discussing genetic sequencing, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, “These genetic sequencing efforts remind me of Polio eradication movement 26 years back. Towards the fag end of the Polio movement, active surveillance of the country was done to find out the cases of acute flaccid paralysis. That time also, genetic sequencing was used to establish the travel history of polio virus which eventually helped in the eradication of polio.”


After the presentation, Dr. Harsh Vardhan appreciated the work being done by scientists and their innovative ways of finding solutions to mitigate COVID-19. “The sincere efforts of DBT scientists will enable the country to be self-reliant in production of RT-PCS and Antibody test kits by the end of next month. This will make it possible to meet the target of conducting one lakh tests per day by the end of next month”, he said. The minister also exhorted scientists working on developing new vaccines, new drugs and medical equipment, to speed up their work. “Out of at least half a dozen candidates supported for vaccines, four are in an advanced stage and regulatory platform at one place has been constituted for speedy clearances”, he said.


Dr. Harsh Vardhan also appreciated the BIRAC efforts in supporting over 150 start up solutions of which over 20 are ready for deployment. He also released a Hand-Sanitizer developed by another PSU of DBT, Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation Ltd. (BIBCOL) which is engaged in manufacturing of various biological, pharmaceutical and food products. It currently is manufacturing formulations of Vitamin C and Zinc tablets to contribute towards the solutions for COVID-19. “A contribution of Rupee One towards commercial sale of each single bottle of this Sanitizer will go to PMCARES Fund”, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said.


Dr. Renu Swarup, Secretary, DBT, senior officials, Directors of DBT-AIs, Senior Scientists and senior officials from BIRAC and BIBCOL participated in the meeting.

Updates on COVID-19
Regarding plasma therapy for COVID-19, ICMR has already stated clearly that currently there are no approved therapies for COVID-19 including plasma therapy. It is one of the many therapies which are being experimented with. However, so far there is no evidence to support it as a treatment. ICMR has also started a National Study to evaluate the efficacy of the therapy. However, it needs to be clarified that until ICMR concludes its study and robust scientific proof is available, it should not be used except for research and trial purposes. In fact, use of plasma therapy may have life threatening complications. ICMR has already issued detailed guidelines in this regard for the use of plasma therapy outside the study purposes.

As of today, there are 17 districts in the country where earlier cases had come, but now no new case has been reported for the last 28 days. The number of these districts has increased by 1 (two new districts have been added whereas one has been dropped from the previous list) since yesterday. The districts that got added to the list are Kalimpong (West Bengal) & Wayanad (Kerala). The district which was removed from this list is Lakhisarai (Bihar).


As of now, 6,868 people have been cured with a recovery rate of 23.3%. A total of 29,435 people have been confirmed positive as of now for COVID-19 in India.

Very early when news started coming I wrote here at DFI that it is not just a viral flu but a syndrome like hiv infection.

When people used to talk about mini Pakistans in India it was seen as some kind of stigma on secularism. Now we all know that it not just a fight against Chinese virus but mini Pakistan’s that have proliferated all over India.

It is metaphorically literal two front war.

and the jihadis and paki stooges in India is very vocal about killing the progress of Indian economy.
They have said such statements very publicly.

Thank for raising this,trust me being a marketer in pharma. I used to cover india (Gully ,kopcha)as our compulsory field stint with sales team .During this tenure three things I observed ,if not corrected ,we are not going anywhere but will remain shit hole 3rd world country.
1> 90% of mozlem hate this country and hindus to core regardless of ganga jamuna tejzeeb.They will start rioting if India goes to war with any islamic country.
2> They are filthy and love to remain filthy , visited many slums where we used to get lot of buiness of orindazole oflaxacin combination thanks to them. While hindus majority slums much more clean in contrast.
3>Govt need to check ,how muzlims are living in slums and dark corners of urban and semi urban areas.They are frustrated while love to show daredevil stunts to prove themselves worth. For them no police can reach their area of work while govt authorites can't ask them anything as this against there ego.
