Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann trolled for mispronouncing Harvard University as 'Hayward'

-

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has been trolled for including 'Hayward' in a list of universities and institutions abroad. It seemed Mann was addressing a crowd during a function in the state.

In a video that has now gone viral, the Aam Aadmi Party leader can be heard saying that teachers of Punjab schools would be sent to foreign varsities like Oxford, 'Hayward' among others for professional training. He also added that this initiative will be undertaken by the state government on its own expense.

During his speech, Mann also brought references to the Delhi government. He asserted that similar to Delhi, Punjab will also send their teachers to pursue training abroad. "Just like the Delhi government, principals, vice-principals and headmasters will be sent abroad for training," Mann said.

The Punjab Chief Minister added that the educators will be sent in "Batches of 70-100 to Switzerland, Finland, Singapore, and top universities such as Oxford and 'Hayward' for professional training at the cost of the government".

Watch the video here:

The video took no time to grab the eyeballs of social media users. However, it is quite evident from the clip that Mann mispronounced the name of Harvard University and said 'Hayward'. Many users on the internet pointed out his mispronunciation and some even equated it with 'Haywards 5000 beer'.

Here's how the internet reacted:

Social media users brought the subject of 'Haywards' out due to Mann's alleged drinking habits. He has, however, claimed it to have stopped.

Bhagwant Mann's alleged alcoholism has long been a topic of controversy. Last month, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) alleged that he had entered into Takht Damdama Sahib gurdwara in an inebriated condition. The organisation which is responsible for the management of Sikh shrines in Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, had also sought an apology from the Punjab Chief Minister.

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
