@flipkartsupport Can you check Incident IN26012018481576796898. Calls with your agents are resulting in just incidents being created which are closed without resolutions. You have delivered a cancelled order and not arranging a return for that and not issuing refund. @Flipkart

@ACTFibernet Poor service for SR10375659004694 taking 6 days for a connection shift. The old tenant was using ACT already and infra is in place. Your customercare representatives are giving same reason everyday on call that the issue is escalated and will be addressed today.

@ImSarath7 @dayalkarthik @aarthy_v What a climax \m/ :D

I did not know Urban Ladder was bought by Reliance Retail last year.

They always had the best furnitures.

These scenes looks terrifying. Heart and prayers with Afghanistan.

This is an incredible thread with so many facts. Some could be coincidental but definitely more moments of chill then a thriller series. #CovidLabLeak

[The Seeker @TheSeeker268]

A thread on the origins of COVID-19, and a possible bio-containment failure at one of the Wuhan labs.

I feel there are facts not enough people know about, so I decided to summarise the important & interesting ones in this post.

[BalaKumar @sribalakumar]

WOW this is an incredible story. Respect and kudos to the #drasticresearch team for their voluntary efforts to collate so many details from the internet. #covidLabLeak

[Sanjeev Sanyal @sanjeevsanyal]

INCREDIBLE STORY
It appears that the whole lab-made Covid issue has blown up due to an unknown Indian from West Bengal who calls himself @TheSeeker268 who used google translate to read Chinese scientific papers 1/n

Kudos @chennaicorp for vaccinating delivery executives of @swiggy_in and @amazonIN.

Why not ban Gain Of Function researches in dense cities? The guidelines should mandate them to be setup in remote areas, like the atomic research centres. Geo isolation safety levels makes better sense in curbing than just biosafety levels for lab leaks.

Four +ve charged layer of amino acid particles which according to physics would repel each other. Please ban such Gain Of Function researches. Reminds me of Jurassic Park movie climax "Life finds a way"... https://t.co/RLXJMkMBda via @MailOnline

“The vaccine crisis that stares at the world’s most vulnerable countries today is rooted in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mind-boggling reluctance to buy enough vaccines in time,” writes @ Planet_deb https://t.co/2y2O5AWdb4

In March last year, it was widely agreed by everybody sensible, me included, that talk of the pandemic originating in a laboratory was pseudoscientific nonsense.

Today, the mood has changed. https://t.co/vdLw36rWkN

.@InovioPharma says its gadget gives a new kind of #CovidVaccine the boost it needs to work in humans. “It’s an engineering solution to a biological problem,” writes @EmWaltz https://t.co/5N3o5lLw19

Well done, hope the other states in India follow suit.

NEW: a deep-dive into the situation in India, where a devastating second wave is overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums, eclipsing global records as it goes https://t.co/epz0WG6GxK

250,000 new cases every day, and test positivity is soaring suggesting many are still missed

@Racold Got a replacement unit today and the issue is resolved. Thanks much for the quick follow up and resolution.

[BalaKumar @sribalakumar]

@Racold No response to emails for complaint number 160628897. Prior to this I have opened a complaint for the same problem on May 14 and the problem is yet to be sorted out.

How decentralised health edu works? See commuters washing their hands after getting down from a bus in #Kerala's Calicut. Bcoz of Kerala govt's #BreakTheChain campaign, grassroot orgs have installed hand wash/sanitisers across public places like mofussil bus stops. #KeralaModel
