After winning the Nobel Prize in 1979, Dr. Abdus Salam had requested the Indian government to find Professor Anilendra Ganguly, who had taught him mathematics in the pre-partition era at the Sanatan Dharma College in Lahore.
Spoke today with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval about the spike in COVID cases in India and we agreed to stay in close touch in the coming days. The United States stands in solidarity with the people of India and we are deploying more supplies and resources:
France: Stand by India
Russia: offers oxygen and Remdesivir; import to begin soon
China: Ready to provide any help (Yes, even China)
Pakistani civil society & orgs: should extend any sort of help
America: *Remove export ban pls?* "We will have to circle back to you on that"
🇺🇸 is currently sitting on over 100 million unused vaccine doses. An estimated 35-40m are #AstraZeneca, which 🇺🇸 still hasn't authorised to use on Americans and probably never will.
It is an absurd situation while half of all doses made in 🇪🇺 are exported (chart @jfkirkegaard).
The current public health crisis in India is devastating. To turn the tide, India urgently needs vaccines.
@lbscidsa, @Rudra_81, Harsh Pant, @nebuer42 & @acorn call upon the Biden administration to consider exceptions to the DPA and help India save lives: https://t.co/rJHSfyog6F
From the time of its Independence India despite limited resources has always done heavy lifting in helping with international humanitarian crises be it through UN peacekeepers, help during Indian Ocean Tsunami, aid, #VaccineMaitri etc.
The west & the world must help India now.
On India and the export ban, State Dept punts to USTR, says "we have a special responsibility to the American people."
Yes you do. We're not suggesting trading US lives for Indian lives. We're talking materials we don't need b/c we're adequately supplied. This is a crap answer.
@okayysorryy That's a good thread. I am going to read it slowly. Have to follow it up with a prominent findings from each of the civilizations and countries for my exam. Thank you for leading me to it.
Lancet study:
“Airborne” does NOT mean outside air is contaminated. It means the virus may remain suspended in the air — typically in indoor settings —and pose a risk
Our parks and beaches are still the safest places to enjoy without a mask (provided 6 ft distance)
LANCET STUDY: No worries. We know COVID spreads (droplet to airborne) in a spectrum
Solution: Buy two N95 or KN95 masks. Use one today; leave the other in a PAPER bag for tomorrow. Keep alternating every 24 hours. Reuse for weeks if they aren’t damaged
Ditch cloth masks
