HMPV in China, India– COVID19 Redux, Is India Ready?

Image
What is HMPV Human metapneumovirus or HMPV is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the family Pneumoviridae and is closely related to the Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) subgroup C. As of 2016, it was the second most common cause (after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) of acute respiratory tract illness in otherwise-healthy children under the age of 5 in a large US outpatient clinic. The peak age of hospitalization for infants with HMPV occurs between 6–12 months of age, slightly older than the peak of RSV, which is around 2–3 months. The clinical features and severity of HMPV are similar to those of RSV. HMPV is also an important cause of disease in older adults and infants. Human metapneumovirus was first discovered in 2001 in the Netherlands by Bernadette G. van den Hoogen and her colleagues. It was first detected in the respiratory secretions of 28 young children in the Netherlands and had initially stood out from other common respiratory viruses because the testing ...

  Recently after the coup orchestrated by USA in Bangladesh and setting up of a puppet government under Mohammed Yunus , who incidentally is a Nobel Prize winner, things have been hotting up between India and Bangladesh. After the supposed targeted persecution of deposed ruling party members, Awami League after PM Sheikh Hasina Wajed fled the country and took refuge in New Delhi, India; the subsequent violence against minorities like Hindus, Christians and Buddhists has raised eyebrows in all circles across India.  This coup was building up since last 1 year, but it’s surprising to even comprehend that how did India’s RAW , its external intelligence wing missed it completely and was clueless. The situation in Bangladesh, which is surrounded on 3 sides by India has been compounded by increasingly belligerent outbursts by people against India. Some are saying Bangladesh needs to capture lot of areas of India, including Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya to create greater Ba...

Fall of Syria Syria has fallen and President Bashar Al Assad has been forced to leave the country with the Syria Arab Army fleeing to Iraq. So, what happens next? Mark my words the 1st declaration Donald Trump or Don Trumpioni gives upon assuming office on Jan 20, 2025 is the annexation of Westbank by Israel as part of Dissolution of Palestine , and renaming it Judea And Sumeria and also give go ahead to Israel to capture south and west Syria for creation of Greater Israel. So how did Syria collapse so quickly? It is thanks to the betrayal of a morally corrupt nation of Turkey . Turkey had previously funded and facilitated ISIS in previous decade and did this once again on orders of Israel and USA . In return Turkey will get to keep the whole of North Syria for itself and can even get the F35 fighters from USA. While Kurdish terrorist who as PKK have been a thorn in ass of Turkey wanting independent nation in east and southeast Turkey will keep east Syria for them...

Women in Defense: An Indian Perspective

Image
We all talk of giving women equal rights, and efforts have been made to allow women to compete with men. In many areas’ women given the opportunity have made good progress and have broken through the ‘glass ceiling’. But in many places, they still face the problem and defense is one such area. While in many Western countries women have reached top positions in defense forces commanding thousands of troops, squadrons, and battleships, in India it’s still a problem and women who are in defense services have to face a lot of hardships to reach a top position or even so, get respect as a leading officer or commander of a unit traditionally dominated by men. Cases of sexual harassment and asking for sexual favors from female counterparts by male seniors have not helped their case either. While women in India have served in the medical branch for a long; only now are they being given permanent commission that too only in law and other non-combat areas. Although the most emphatic victory, I...
