Mumbai Police uses ‘Felix Felicis’ reference from Harry Potter to highlight importance of masks

-

The social media handles of Mumbai Police have got their game right on point as they never fail to impress the followers with creative posts. In the latest Instagram post, Mumbai Police has used 'Felix Felicis’ reference from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in order to highlight the importance of wearing masks amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Referring to the famous scene from the Harry Potter film, that features Harry Potter and the Potions Master Professor Horace Slughorn, Mumbai Police has reminded people to wear masks. In the scene, Professor Slughorn gives a Felix Felicis (also called Liquid Luck) to Potter. However, Mumbai Police has used an edited image in which the Professor is seen giving a mask to Potter instead. The professor himself is also seen donning a mask in the viral image.

The picture has been captioned as, "A little bit of 'Felix Felicis' and mask by your side to ensure you stay safe from Corona". The Marathi lines in the caption mean, “The mask is not only ‘lucky’ but also effective in protecting you! The ‘magic’ of the mask is very simple, learn”.

The fans of the Harry Potter film series are commenting and reacting to the post in large numbers. In a day, the tweet has got over 15,400 likes and many comments.

For the unversed, Felix Felicis or Liquid Luck in the Harry Potter series is a potion that made the drinker lucky. The drinker will be successful in everything attempted under the potion's influence.

Here's the original scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which was released in 2009:

Even after so many years of release, Harry Potter films and books continue to enjoy huge popularity among fans. The last film of the series, titled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, released in 2011.

The series starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as the three leading characters named Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley respectively.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
