Know the Covidiots: They’re everywhere!

Sanjana

Covidiots are basically those who indulge in conspiracy theories that claim that the pandemic isn’t real, and refuse to practice social distancing or wear masks because they believe themselves to be invincible. On the other side of the covidiot spectrum, we have the toilet roll hoarders, the sanitizer stockpilers, and the ones who store so much stuff their homes look like supermarkets.

Like the thousands of Germans staged protests in Berlin against coronavirus restrictions or ‘thali’ beating, ‘go corona go’ chanting friends who took out a procession back at home during the ‘janta curfew’

Remdesivir – Is the Covid-19 treatment finally here?

Anika Gupta

There seem to be finally some good news coming our way on Covid-19 treatment. The US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has indicated that ‘remdesivir’ could be a possible treatment for coronavirus. They said that there is evidence that the experimental drug remdesivir might help patients recover a lot more quickly from the infection.

Although none of the drugs have been approved by the US FDA as yet, for the treatment of the coronavirus, an announcement is expected from the FDA for emergency-use authorization for remdesivir, according to The New York Times.

Cooking fails? You’re not alone :)

Ayshi

Quarantine has had a very deep impact on our lives from turning us into a binge-watching couch potato, making us to domestic chores for the first time in our life, to exposing our inner chefs like never before. For the newer chefs, cooking is a curate’s egg (though I don’t know why the pitfalls always outweigh the benefits, at least in my case). Cooking does come with lots of fails. You might feel you’re alone there but wait up… The world’s with you. There are enough of us involved in culinary extremism!

Not convinced enough? Here are some side-splitting cooking fails to make you feel better about yourself!

Corona – fact or fiction?

Roshani Makhija

In this tough period of coronavirus pandemic, there are a lot of questions in our minds. We also receive a lot of information on social media. Some of the received information though may sound logical, but might actually be incorrect. The problem is that any incorrect understanding of COVID-19 increases our risk of infections. So along with access to information, it is important to have a reliable source of information.

Here are some of the questions we have heard and responses from experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Did someone actually warn us about Corona?

Roshani Makhija

Corona has become such a life-changing event that there is a clamour to claim that it was predicted. Netizens are claiming that Nostradamus had predicted the Corona outbreak in medieval times itself. There is a novel that had a virus outbreak originating from Wuhan. Some astrologers are also claiming to have predicted this outbreak. But these are all non-scientific and unproven accounts. Does that mean no one had warned us about this disaster?

Reality is that Bill Gates had warned the world about the possibility of an infectious disease outbreak that can kill millions. Read on to know more about what Bill Gates said about the pandemic.
