Covishield is the Indian brand name of the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford in partnership with the British-Swedish company AstraZeneca. It is being locally produced by the Serum Institute of India. 75 crore doses of Covishield will be available by the year-end.
Sputnik V, the latest vaccine to be approved by the Indian government, has been developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Russian Ministry of Health. The government plans to roll out 15.6 crore doses of the vaccine by December. #vaccine
1. "Covid-19 is dead now, and finally we can live without masks and can reunite with our friends and families" - how happy does this sounds? Everybody wishes to go back to normal, for that please wear your masks. #WearAMask
2. Today, this situation is really out of hands. Our whole generation is falling apart. We have lost hopes on our dreams, ambitions, studies, career and all we want to do is to SURVIVE. We want to live. We want to fight this so badly. #fightagainstcorona
3.We don't want to see our future getting destroyed right in front of our eyes because of this virus. Some of us might be thinking, do we even have a future? Yes, we do if we stay safe and follow all the protocols. It feels as we have aged, without actually ageing. #GenZ

A narrative is being peddled that the #COVID19India crisis is due to these factors
1. Modi & Team claimed victory & did nothing
2. Modi allowed election rallies & #Kumbh which caused the #CoronaSecondWave
3. Now @narendramodi is not giving oxygen, medicines & vaccines to states

So mucor is on the rise, time for a quick revision. A short thread for those interested.
It's a bad infection with an unreasonably high mortality(40-80%) which depends on the organ involved.
Risk factors: DM/ neutropenia/ HSCT
DM=rhino-orbital mucor
Neutropenia=pulmonary mucor

Mucormycosis is caused by fungi of order "MUCORALES" which includes rhizopus/mucor/licthemia/cunninghemela species. But DON'T WORRY species identification doesn't change treatment so we don't need to get to that.
Coming to the PRACTICAL POINTS that need to be remembered.
➡️IMAGING even at the slightest suspicion of mucor coz it's RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE and kills quick.
➡️CT PNS/Orbits/ MRI Brain
➡️HRCT chest as per presentation

Last month's April session of the competitive exam had also been postponed as India faces a brutal second wave of COVID-19. Pokhriyal shared a notification by the National Testing Agency (NTA), confirming the same. #covid19 #RameshPokhriyalNishank #JEEMains2021 #enteranceexam

Bench: What is the mechanism for supplying oxygen and who decides the quantity?
I am posted in COVID ICU for 12 hours (night shift).
This duty has been extremely brutal for a no. of reasons-
Seeing more young people die.
Have to restrain a lot of them as they're uncooperative or self extubate. They cry and beg us to remove the restrains but we can't

Staying in ICUs for so long have their own complications. So many pricks, procedures done on them everyday.

Every person, every institution in #globalhealth is deeply indebted to people of S Asia, esp India, present and past. Acknowledge and honor it: speak up about the #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia and culpability of government and others who have failed them. What debt? I'll explain 1/n
Nearly every aspect of vaccination campaign knowledge has links to India. From first vax 219 years ago in then-Bombay to eradication, smallpox more about India than any other country, as @JoyAgnost has written. World has benefitted but knowledge came from colonial oppression 2/n
Note how 1805 painting applies racist lightening to Queen Devajammani's arm, showing one exercise of colonial biopower on reluctantly or unwillingly vaccinated people (see Chancellor, Mod Asian Stud 2001). Nearly all early major campaigns were in India 3/n

Covid has hit our homes and we are very vocal. Rightly so.
But think how would they have handled a pandemic of this scale that requires a response where we need to increase resources by 5-10 times in months because doubling or tripling will be GOOD but not ENOUGH.

Pls dont panic if u test +ve for #COVID19 sharing these simple protocols that have been compiled to guide you on what needs to be done These are critical times incase we have not been able to give u a bed it’s only becoz we are full beyond capacity with #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia
Please understand. 🙏
There will be individual variations based on existing conditions& hence this can be modified based on your discussion with your medical physician. This is is a suggestive protocol. Users are however advised to customise it to individual patients
Surely today, as Indians struggle desperately to save themselves; as Delhi HC has to cajole the Centre into ensuring oxygen reaches the capital; as infections & death tolls soar & the data fudging is clear; as a nationwide vaccine plan disappears; there has to be an awakening.
In the middle of the inferno that #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia , the Union Home Minister is going to address 3 public rallies. The day after that, your Prime Minister, this man who you revere like a God, is going to address 4. FOUR. PUBLIC. RALLIES. IN THE MIDDLE OF A GODDAMN PANDEMIC
This is not regrettable. This is not misguided. This is not even disgraceful. It is criminal.
Every political leader organising a rally at this time is a criminal. But given their responsibility to the nation, the actions of the Home Minister and the Prime Minister even more so

Lets try and learn some basics of the COVID-19 illness
So to understand what’s happening you need to understand the story behind it.

80% people will have flu like sickness
Mild/Initial phase: presenting with anosmia (lack of smell), fever, cough, diarrhoea. This is something most people understand and is treated with Paracetamol and lots of water.
But beyond the is what we need to learn a bit more about

Therein lies the rub. It's the Allahabad High Court that has ordered the UP cities lockdown, given the magnitude of the crisis we could all see.
