Coronavirus knows no boundaries, spares no one. Popular young anchor #RohitSardana succumbs to the virus/cardiac complications. A huge loss- may he rest in peace. #RIPROHITSARDANA

Low count of cases in Delhi continues despite absence of #COVID19 appropriate behaviour It's because of the extreme spread of #DeltaVariant in April/May We don't know how long immunity will last No room for self congratulations. We haven't done much #WearAMask #CovidIsNotOver

That the states did not report #oxygen shortage as cause of death may simply be a technicality. I don't think O2 shortage is a recognised 'cause' of death (i.e cardiac arrest) The cause of death must be reported as respiratory failure, or #COVID19 . No one can deny O2 shortage

Increase in beds in Delhi much needed But I fail to understand how hospitals like Apollo, Gangaram, Max, Fortis can stop treating non covid patients? What happens if one gets a heart attack/stroke or has an accident? Knee jerk reaction or is there something I can't see? #COVID19

It is with a deep sense of sadness that I write these words about Professor Narayana Panicker Kochupillai, who passed away yesterday. Prof Kochupillai- or Kochu as he was called by his friends- was one of the founding fathers of Endocrinology in India. Born on February 10, 1939,

Predictions of #3rdWave of #COVID19 in "India" are highly variable. It's a futile exercise. The 2nd wave is still on in the Northeast, Kerala and Maharashtra. There are likely to be surges in different parts of India at different times India is big country- think local #Corona

Facts about homeopathy 1. No clinical trial has shown that it works 2. Its scientific basis is unproven 3. It is not a traditional "Indian" science- it is from Germany 4. Those who want to are free to use it for their treatment 5. Why should the state pay for >200 homeo colleges?

The tragic suicide by Dr Archana Sharma reflects what doctors in #India , esp in small towns, have to undergo Threats from local politicians, goons, petty journalists, and the "mai baap" district authorities have to be navigated daily No place for a #doctor #DrArchanaSharma

We are in unprecedented times The #pandemic is overrunning us Anger is natural- but can we stop the blame game? #coronavirus does not respect religion or political affiliation It's about humans. Let's try to fight our way out of this. Together (A plea from a #healthcare worker)

I have heard the #coronavirus is ' #Airborne Is it safe to go for a walk in the park? YES, if it's not crowded #outdoor /open-air transmission is NOT common. The virus particles dissipate quickly in open air To be very safe- #WearAMask Don't talk face to face with anybody.

The ongoing crisis in #Rajasthan once again reveals what the politicians & media feel about doctors I am not really surprised (covid is a distant memory) Only those who have a family member in the profession can understand what a #doctor goes thru in India Easy to sermonize

It does seem ironic to me that the world spent the last 2 years trying to save lives- #COVID19 And then starts a war, taking lives at will even before the #pandemic is over Masks, vaccines, drugs - they all seem so meaningless #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Russia #Ukraine
