I have had both falciparum and vivax (different years), confirmed by lab tests. The treatment was exactly the same in both cases. While one of them was quite debilitating, the other felt like an ordinary flu. I forgot which is which. In bot

The virus does not care what you consider misguided. Make all the excuses you want, but crowds lead to spreading of airborne diseases.

I don't know how much the mutations have to do with it. But the Indian studies show a reinfection rate of 4.5% [1]. Apparently, it is common among the elderly [2]. Our CM is 78. [1] https://science.thewire.in/health&#x2

Lockdowns hurt poor people very badly; they need to earn to survive. All the more reason everyone should mask up. And yet, most people stopped masking months ago. Crowds are as bad as they were in 2019. On top of that, doctors here have c

Nope. Those are local problems, like when your road doesn't have power, but the next road does. Load shedding is announced days in advance and publicized in newspapers.

Yes, India is going to be hit really hard by climate change too. So please reduce your own CO₂ and CH₄ contributions. Indians are not the problem here. You are welcome to talk about India as a problem once your own per capita contributions

Which country do you live in? What is your average yearly per-capita CO₂ and CH₄? Anyway, I welcome you to India. Stay here for a few years. Live through peak summers with power-cuts due to load shedding. And then repeat your message.
