@Nilgiri please do the needful

I moved it here after he started separate thread for it.

It is fine bro, people need to learn what different media are like if they are interested in that.

If people give credibility to BBC on this, they also end up giving full credibility to the exact manner BBC reported the matter w.r.t their own country role (in starting the whole plague and undermining early prevention worldwide) too....and also matters like the Uighur genocide.

He has been a bit less active lately, so I let it slide this time.

But the forum policy is forum policy....i.e new-thread for negative news of another country (to your own) is for the global section. i.e use existing thread if want to post in country subforum.

If he keeps it up like before, then we will deal with it then.

I hope for once India will act selfishly and bans the export of the vaccine for few weeks until the situation stabilizes inside. Too much of peaceful coexistence ideology has got the International community to take advantage of the country.

18 Covid Patients Dead In Fire At Gujarat Hospital: Report

Bharuch:
At least 18 coronavirus patients died after a fire broke out at a hospital in Gujarat's Bharuch in the early hours on Saturday.

Gut-wrenching visuals of the tragedy showed remains of some patients on stretchers and beds.

There were around 50 other patients at the four- storeyed Welfare Hospital when the fire broke out in the COVID-19 ward at 1 am. They were rescued by locals and firefighters, an official said.

"As per information at 6.30 am, the death count in the tragedy stood at 18. Immediately after the fire, we had confirmation of 12 deaths," a police official told PTI.

The 12 patients in the COVID-19 ward died due to the fire and resultant smoke, a senior police officer in Bharuch, Rajendrasinh Chudasama, said.


It is not clear if the remaining six also died in the Welfare Hospital or while being shifted to other hospitals.

The COVID-19 designated hospital is situated on the Bharuch-Jambusar highway, around 190 km from the state capital Ahmedabad and is being run by a trust.







The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, the official said.

8CommentsThe fire was controlled within an hour and around 50 patients were rescued by locals as well as firefighters, a fire official said. They were shifted to nearby hospitals, he added.

In a new study, scientists at Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Virology have found that Covaxin is effective against the Brazil variant (B.1.128.2).

This comes close on the heels of their recent study that had also suggested that Covaxin was effective against both the UK variant and Indian (double mutant) variant B.1.617.

Presently, India is using two Covid 19 vaccines, Covaxin by Bharat Biotech and Covishield by Serum Institute of India, to vaccinate people across the country.

There is evidence suggesting that the country’s indigenous Covid-19 jab Covaxin is proving to be effective against some variants.

Dr Anthony Fauci, who is US President Joe Biden’s chief adviser on the Covid pandemic, quoted the recent Phase 3 clinical trials of Covaxin by ICMR, which claimed that the vaccine neutralises multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 and effectively neutralises the double mutant strain (B1617) as well.

In this new study posted in the bioRxiv pre-print on April 30, scientists have shown that Covaxin is effective against the Brazil variant (B.1.1.28.2).

A new study shows that the two-dose Covaxin regimen significantly boosted the IgG (antibody) titer and neutralized efficacy against the Brazil variant and D614G variant compared to that seen with natural infection.

Led by NIV scientists Gajanan Sapkal, Pragya Yadav, Priya Abraham and others, they said that it was a robust neutralisation of B1 and B.1.1.28.2 variants among vaccine recipients.

Researchers determined the IgG immune response and neutralizing activity of the 19 convalescent sera specimens obtained from the recovered cases of COVID-19 and confirmed for UK (B.1.1.7), South African (B.1.351) and Brazil (B.1.1.28.2) variants (15-113 days post positive test) and from 42 participants immunized with an inactivated Covid-19 vaccine, BBV 152 (Covaxin) as part of a phase II clinical trial (two months post the second dose).

The response was observed with recovered cases but the study found a better response from samples of Covaxin vaccine beneficiaries, scientists said.

India has reported cases infected with the SARS-CoV-2 UK variant (B.1.1.7). Recently, South Africa variant (B.1.351) and Brazil variant P2 lineage (B.1.1.28.2) have also been detected in international travellers travelling to India from abroad.

The impact on the emergence of these new variants on the efficacy of the currently available COVID-19 vaccines or neutralizing capability of the sera of individuals infected naturally with the earlier circulating strains is currently under investigation.

Although some of the vaccines seem to be effective against the UK variant, the efficacy against the South African variant has been demonstrated to be less efficacious.

According to a recent report of NCDC, from among 15,000 samples sequenced,11 percent comprised these variants of concern


Till the first week of April, the number of cases with UK, South Africa and Brazil variants of the COVID virus in the country had reached 948.

View attachment 19696

CCP at its core is a degenerate organisation. They still print money with one of the tyrant-trilogy of 20th century faces (the other two countries having long abandoned revelry of theirs)....and continue to lord over his portrait in Tianenmen....who's final death count (in just his country) makes global corona one looks like small picnic....as unknown as the true numbers really are in both instances.

That will tell you enough (given that is schadenfreude with their own population)....so its not surprising something more true to their nature leaks out and totally sullies all the earlier propaganda they were and are engaged in w.r.t foreign country.

People (around world incl India) should know exactly what they are dealing with here and carry long term memory on it and deal accordingly from this going forward.

Even recently the Hongkong Protests handling, shows how CCP handles the protests for basic democratic rights .
