It’s a sunny Sunday ☀️ . Love this graph as shows the triumph of science in 2020/21- we also now have effective antiviral pills. How was this possible? Full account of the ‘Race for a Covid Vaccine’ in my new 📕 but in short, they built off ongoing MERS & other vaccine research.

Final question- what everyone wants to know -> how and when will the pandemic be over? Does omicron show that we can ‘live with COVID’? Or are other dangerous variants around the corner in 2022?

Vada Pav was invented by a snack seller Ashok Vaidya. He came up with a combination of Batata Vada and split bread. He started selling it near Dadar station in 1966.

Shame on the Govt that thinks that during a pandemic, it's priority must be to deface protest art from walls of Jamia Millia Islamia. हम घास हैं. तुम्हारे हर किए धरे पर उग आयेंगे. You cowards put workers at risk to do THIS that you think is "essential".

1/n I've taken more time out of my day job in order to estimate economic impacts of COVID-19, and sketch out a few principles on a government economic response. This is a fast moving issue, with little data. Better be roughly wrong early, than roughly right late.

I went to the grocery store this afternoon. As I was walking in I heard a woman yell to me from her car. I walked over and found an elderly woman and her husband. She cracked her window open a bit more, and explained to me nearly in tears that they are afraid to go in the store.
