State lockdown needs to be ordered ASAP and travel banned between maharashtra and other states.

Cases are once again rising there. Centre needs to be act fast before other states are also infected.

What Delta-plus variant is and why India is not worried about it yet

What Delta-plus variant is and why India is not worried about it yet

The Delta-plus variant has been found to exhibit the K417N mutation and is believed to have made its origins in Nepal

www.firstpost.com

"the Delta-plus variant has been found to exhibit the K417N mutation. According to The New York Times, the K417N, along with another mutation called K417T, is a mutation in the spike protein of the novel coronavirus .

The spikes on its surface, which give the coronavirus its names, also helps the virus to invade human cells.

Reports say that the "mutation appears on the tip of the coronavirus spike, and may help the virus bind more tightly to human cells"."

"Sharing preliminary details of the Delta-plus variant, researchers at CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) said that it may be linked with abilities to better escape immune response, which means the virus can potentially dodge vaccines and antibody therapies. In fact, Vinod Scaria, a scientist with IGIB, said that there is also evidence of the Delta-plus variant's "resistance to monoclonal antibodies Casirivimab and Imdevimab". The reference is to the monoclonal antibody cocktail that was recently okayed for the treatment of milder cases of COVID-19 in India. "

I wonder if Covaxin can be continuously updated against the new variants, since it is made using inactivated virus particles?

Good news from Vaccine front, is Novavax approved? And what happened to that QUAD jumla of 1 Billion J&J Vaccines?

I think Novavax is still waiting for approval in India. Maybe this is export order or maybe they are stocking up for big relese when approval is given.

Regarding QUAD and J&J, Biden's America is not a trustworthy partner.

Yo, when did modi officially declare covid was over?
Kumbh Mela and Bengal was only superspreader event in India?
Was Modi arrogant to do rallies, and if so why other political parties' rallies are not shown,
Also why emphasis on Hindus, muslims and Christians can do no wrong?
Also, dead bodies in Ganga, is there any truth to it?

I partly saw a vdo where Kunal Kachra was making fun of Ram mandir. Stopped watching then n there. Trying to find something worthy inside a pile of h1t is futile. If its sh1t, all of it is sh1t.
