Are AYCE establishments back? I thought that it was against covid protocols to allow every customer to serve him or herself. Or at least they should have changed procedures.
Where I live (Bay Area) people are living it big right now. Outdoor restaurants are packed. I go to the burger joint whenever I want also. Drive through is grate. Coronawalrus doesn't scare me, and neither does cardiovascular disease or colon cancer.

Is it Internet-enabled? Now you have bikes with displays in which you can virtually pedal in Switzerland with a virtual group of global cyclists. Get one of those and we will pedal together on Rajpath, along with Sunny Leone.

sentinel are you all excited about the confirmation of the Muon G-2 anomaly recently confirmed by Fermi Lab?

Will it lead to a deeper understanding of the Black Hole in Uranus?

Very polluted outside, bad traffic and repeated lockdowns and curfews.

Huge second wave.
:unsure:

"We never thought a second wave would hit us so hard,"​
"Complacency led to unanticipated shortages of medicines, medical supplies and hospital beds."​
Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said there was a crisis over the shortage of intensive care unit beds, with the city needing about 5,000 more than it could find. Some hospitals had enough oxygen to last 10 hours, others just six.​

UK banned all travel to India. CDC advisory in US is not to travel to India even if fully vaccinated.

Rich people are being offered "lockdown-cation" packages in 5-star resorts. sentinel will you be availing yourself of this?

How is the situation in Chennai @gn ?

100,000 new cases, 2000 death daily on average throughout India.


The government was quiet during the election campaigns and did not set any strict rules/lockdowns like they are doing now.
We have a full-day lockdown on Sunday and some restrictions during the weekdays.
I believe there is a strong correlation between election campaigning by politicians and a surge in corona cases.

A week ago, a doc told on TV that they are many people carrying the virus with absolutely no symptoms. So it is spreading easier.


People are undecided on whether to take a vaccine or not.
They brought actor Vivek and vaccinated him to bring awareness. He got a heart attack the next day and passed away within 24 hours.
So it made the situation worse. Ironically, many people were gathering on the street without social distancing to watch his body being carried for last rites.

Many hospitals ran out of oxygen yesterday, some got a small refill and are again about to run out.

A major hospital, Sir Gangaram had 25 deaths due to O2 running out. Many hospitals have over a hundred covid patients who are O2 dependent and they all reported an hour or less of O2 some hours back.

The situation is really bad. Great for black marketers though.

I am trying to be as safe as possible since my mother is 89 and very weak and susceptible.
There is absolutely no question of going to a hospital for anything at this point.

Hospitals are simply not admitting anyone for to lack of beds and O2. People are taking patients from one hospital to another and then the patients are dying outside unattended. There is a complete breakdown.

if you get a mountain bike, you can bike high up in the mountains
First I need to buy a mountain.

The closest mountains are the Himalayas which are an overnight journey which I cannot take for several years till the corner walrus dies out.

I cannot leave my mother unattended so a stationary bike was a good idea. It was her birthday gift to me and it's a lovely bike.

We have a friend in Mumbai who has had both shots. He has now turned positive, he has no idea how. Hopefully it won't be severe.
I heard a doctor say that the Astra Zeneca vaccine is only 20pc effective against the UK or SA variant.

I thought the mountain comes to Senti if Senti doesn't go to the mountain

Why don't you charter a private helicopter to fly you over Manasarover and get a glimpse of Shiva?

If you land in India as a fully vaccinated American will the government still lock you up in a three week hard quarantine hotel just as Australia does.

Presumably those with a proof of vaccination card can be exempted from testing requirement.

The vaccine is claimed to be 95% effective and it is believed that those vaccinated are extremely unlikely to transmit (studies currently underway to confirm this). OTOH, the tests are far less reliable.

And... The Bahamas Ministry of Health concurs with our irrefutable logic. No testing required for entry... More excitement!
Minister of Tourism Dionisio D’Aguilar yesterday defended the government’s decision to allow people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter and travel throughout The Bahamas without testing.​
While many have raised concerns over the potential for vaccinated people to still catch and transmit COVID-19 to others, D’Aguilar said recent evidence is showing that to be unlikely.​
“Obviously, the prime minister and the leadership team would have consulted with the Ministry of Health,” he said.​
The science is showing that when you get vaccinated, you have a 100 percent chance that you will not get so sick that you have to end up in a hospital. That’s the first advantage. That’s why we’re encouraging as many people as possible to get vaccinated.
“… And the second advantage is that you reduce by 80 to 90 percent your ability, if infected, to spread it onto someone else. So, the benefits of getting vaccinated are huge. You don’t get sick and you reduce substantially your ability to spread the virus to other persons if you are infected.​
“Yes, you can get infected, but your ability to spread it on to someone else diminishes significantly when you get the vaccine. Now, that is what the science is showing, and that is why the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] CDC is saying that once you get vaccinated you are fairly free to travel, and we are piggybacking off that science that getting vaccinated gives you substantial benefits as it relates to travel.”​
For months now, those traveling to The Bahamas from other countries have been required to test negative for COVID-19 by way of an RT-PCR test within five days before entering the country.​

In India there are people we know who have had both shots of AZ and tested positive.

Testing positive with mild symptoms is not a failure. As long as they don't get seriously ill, it is considered a success.
Covaxin sounds more exciting... 100% is the claim!

The inoculation known as Covaxin, a two-shot injection that uses an inactivated or dead form the virus, also showed 100% efficacy at preventing severe symptoms and hospitalizations.​

True. But can they transmit? Our doctors say yes. So they need to have a negative test too, right? Before travel.

These travel regulations are absolutely killing the tourism and airline industry. There is insistence of a test within 72 hours of departure. But the labs cannot guarantee the turnaround time of test results.

Given that the average incubation time is five days, five days before departure is a far more reasonable time window. There is absolutely no advantage in setting a three day 72 hour window, particularly when all the data shows that most will not test positive within 72 hours of being exposed.

NDTV Vishnu Som talking to an epidemiologist, Dr Feigl-Ding in the US, who says, based on current data, we will have one million deaths by August, conservative. Deaths will increase till May 17th and then taper slowly.

And the death figures are very under reported considering the mismatch between cremation figures and official figures.

I know a couple who booked tickets for a honeymoon to Hawaii late last year. They canceled because the test results did not arrive in time.

BLR Airport has on the spot testing for international arrivals from America. It is convenient for travelers to have the option of getting tested upon arrival . But apparently the current Indian regulation requires you to be tested prior to departure from America... Or maybe this test before departure rule is being set by each individual Airline.
:unsure:


Bengaluru, December 22, 2020: As part of its effort to make passenger journeys convenient and hassle-free, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) - operator of Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (KIAB/ BLR Airport) - has launched a round-the-clock COVID-19 testing facility at the Airport. The two testing units, managed and operated by Bengaluru-based Auriga Research Private Limited, is available for both arrivals as well as departures.​
Sample collection kiosks and a dedicated, state-of-the-art laboratory outside the BLR Airport Terminal. A waiting lounge with strict adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols is part of the facility. International passengers can make use of this facility on their arrival at BLR.​
Under the express test method on the globally acclaimed Abbott ID Now™, the RT-PCR test result would be available in less than 15 minutes, while the regular RT-PCR test result would take upto six hours. Until the test results are received, those tested would be required to wait in a specially demarcated area. Reports would be shared directly with those tested through digital platforms. As per Government requirements, the results of all samples will be registered on the ICMR website.​
