Sputnik V's first batch was supposed to land today. Any idea when is it landing in India.
Also did Dr. Reddy started the production here in Indian already or not?

My friend from Shanghai returned back home in start of April. His mom was detected positive. She is better now and will be released in 2-3 days. He is saying he is waiting for chineez vaccine to get approval in India and then will get his parents get that vaccine :frusty:

I told him BB's covaxin is better than chineez one and who told him that chineez vaccine will be allowed here.
he sent me article that Nepal and Bangladesh has approved it so it is obvious it will get approval in indian by end of May :frusty:
I told him this is not going to happen and at most he can get Sputnik V. He then said he will get Sputnik V then!
Ajeeb qutiya log hain Indian mai!

Why shouldn't they.. Inspite of the coronavirus originating from China, and China covering up the outbreak, countries like US and India have no option, but to go begging bowl in hand to China ( although not openly acknowledging it) for supplies.. because as it happens, it is only China that can meet the surge demand.. Why should China not openly call us out, for opposing China's aggression on one hand, but time and again go to China with a begging bowl in hand for API supplies and medical supplies.. Why shouldn't China call out our shamelessness.. Will, India double down on self sufficiency.. or like the shameless people we are carry on with the current state of affairs.. and go to China with a begging bowl ( Jaishankar calling Wang yi for supplies) when the next catastrophe strikes India, while being gung ho with "Standing up to China" rhetoric in between health crisis..
It is not that simple. In a global economy, all countries are dependent on each other. If the world cuts off trade with China, its people would literally starve to death! So everyone, including China and India, are forced to follow a set of rules by the World Trade Organization. But if Chinese Communist Party (CCP) keeps breaking the rules, there will eventually be consequences as there are in any organization.
Right now CCP is using a (threat from) Covid excuse to stop flights to India to deny essential API/medical supplies to India. This is in spite of no pilot change (or exposure for their pilots) during the flight, so it doesn't really make any sense.
In the long run it will be better for India as it will become self-reliant, but right now it is an emergency. I am sure India will make other arrangements for now, and there will be long term consequences for China also. India is the biggest drug manufacturer as well as an agricultural power of the world, and it can also come up with excuses next time China needs something from India. India can play similar games, it's just that the babus and the netas in the Indian government need to learn, as well as grow a pair.

My Theory:
He has been working in Shanghai for last 9-10 years so propaganda has effected him by now!

I met him when I was working there. he was the only one in that area who had stick to china for that long. Most people would work there for 4-5 yr max and then will search for EU or US VISA or return back. It is not a place to live for long.

Another extremely low IQ tweet from that Chumant Ravanan. Again the intent of these questions are,not, per se, meant to be answered but to signal some grandstanding as though it is some high philosophical insight.

But in this case a nice one line reply has been provided.

PS - Why always"Hey New Zealand" ? Why no "Hey Taiwan" ?

More than 79 lakh doses are still available with the States/UTs to be administered



Government of India has at the forefront of the fight against the COVID19 pandemic. Vaccination forms an integral component of the five point strategy of Government of India to fight the pandemic (including Test, Track, Treat and COVID Appropriate Behaviour).


The Liberalised and Accelerated Phase 3 Strategy of Covid-19 Vaccination will be implemented from today (1st May 2021). Registration for the new eligible population groups has commenced since 28th April. Potential beneficiaries can either register directly on CoWIN portal (cowin.gov.in) or through the Aarogya Setu app.


Government of India has so far provided nearly 16.37 crore vaccine doses (16,37,62,300) to States/UTs Free of Cost. Of this, the total consumption including wastages is15,58,48,782doses (as per data available at 8 am today).


More than 79 lakh COVID Vaccine doses (79,13,518) are still available with the States/UTs to be administered.


Furthermore, more than 17lakh (17,31,110) vaccine doses will be received in addition by the States/UTs within the next 3 days.














As was prescribed in the Liberalised and Accelerated Phase-3 Strategy of Covid-19 Vaccination, all the States and UTs have been intimated by the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare regarding the total number of vaccine doses that they would receive as part of the “Government of India channel”, of the vaccine doses totally free of cost for the vaccination of 45 years and above beneficiaries.


The following table shows the vaccine doses that would be made available through the “Government of India channel” free of cost to all States/UTs.


State/UT-wise allocation of Covishield and Covaxin vaccines through Govt of India for 1st fortnight of May 2021

I am putting forward some facts and request you to ponder over it *without any political or other biases.*

Let's see the chronology.

1. *Till February 2021*, all seem to be wonderful.

2. The malls had opened, shopping centres restarted, schools were reopening and life was creeping back to normalcy in India.

3. The indian vaccine had been the "talk of the town" in the whole world with exports to 87 countries. Infact we were competing with China in most of the countries, as Indian vaccine gained more favour.

4. The farmer protests had almost died down and no major protests of any nature were happening in the country.

5. *End February*. The boundary talks with China have finally resulted in to some kind of negotiations.

6. *March 2021*.
There were some major arms deal signed and decision taken to manufacture a lot of equipment within the country.

7. *07 Apr*- A major Maoist attack took place. A meeting called in Delhi to review counter naxal policy.

8. *Between 10- 15 April.* Within 5- 6 days, a huge wave hits India with unimaginable proportions completely overturning the situation.

9. Surprisingly no such Covid criticality in equally populated Pakistan and Bangladesh !! Or in Nepal, Bhutan, SL etc !

*Think!!*

10. By *20 April*. By now whole international media jumps in to highlight inadequacies in Indian medical system and administration. Countries like Pakistan started talking of offering medical help to India.

11. *24 Apr*. Glacier bursts takes place in Himalayan borders killing several people. Simultaneously articles appeared in the Chinese media saying India should not expect any more concessions on boundary talks.

Now the question is : *Is this huge second wave, could be a result of a planned and carefully crafted biological attack by our adversaries to bring down our International standing and create internal unrest ???*

(Please think over it with a cool mind and keep all political or other biases away.)

Regards.
I also suspect that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used its Pakistani terrorist sleeper cells in India to spread the new variant. This is mainly because I think Covid is a bioweapon that was intentionally released by the CCP, and the lying and cover-up point towards that as well. Plus there are multiple scientists who escaped from China (some are still hidden away by US government) who have tesified that the backbone of the Covid virus was based on a PLA military variant virus. In China, there is a lot of overlap between civilian and military research, and I think the US unwittingly gave the PLA the means to create a bioweapon through cooperation with Chinese civilian research. So if China could do it once, it could do it twice. Judging by the way CCP imprisons and kills common Chinese people for their organs and slave labor, the CCP would not hesitate to use common Chinese people to spread a bioweapon.
Another reason is that for mutations to occur naturally (and especially several different mutant strains simultaneously), there would need to be large numbers of cases. While the UK and the US were going through their 2nd waves, the cases in India were far lower during that time. So then why would a deadlier strain with multiple mutations pop up in India, and not in these other areas with far greater numbers of cases?
I think the Pakistani terrorist sleeper cells in India spread the virus both times through public gatherings. After the first time, a good number of Indians had already become immune to the initial Covid virus. So the CCP most likely spread the new mutant variant in India using their Pakistani terrorist friends, and the new deadlier variant was able to re-infect (and in some cases kill) people who had become immune to the initial variant; this is also why it was able to spread again, because the immunity against the first variant could not stop it. I am sure the CCP has many versions (with different mutations) of this bioweapon in their labs.

See global information sources only shows poverty dharavi etc .... Even people in india (almost everyone i have met ) dont know Indian pharmaceutical sector supplies over 50% of global demand for various vaccines, 40% of generic demand in the US and 25% of all medicine in the UK.India ranks 3rd worldwide for pharmaceutical production by volume and 14th by value .80% of the antiretroviral drugs used globally to combat AIDS are supplied by Indian pharmaceutical firms. It takes time for the optics to change whn u r nt doing pr exercise and u have a well developed ecosystem which wants to produce revolutionary instead of productive individuals by showing everything is dark in present system . In a decade or two reality ll be so different than perception that perception ll be bound to rethink .

1.1 MT medial oxygen fills about 170 cylinders .
If we assume one cylinder per patient per day?
how many patients is Delhi able to serve at 490MT daily capacity? ~ 75000 patients
And how many patients India as a whole is able to serve at 9000 MT capacity? ~13.9 lakh patients
*Rough estimates to get an idea
=======
Court: Now please tell whether you have received as per your allocation?

Adv. Dagar: No, my Lords, certainly not. 1.1 MT converts to nearly 170 cylinders, we've received only 60 cylinders. I thank Mr. Satyakam for helping me bring out the actual data.

We got people hoarding Tocilizumab which is used to treat pulmonary embolism..
as if they know how to administer it and they know when they would need such. And this medicine is very costly for even a single dose.
amazing people are! Very autonomous google beings.
