Bengaluru Uber driver's warm gesture towards exhausted passenger is winning internet

-

An Uber driver, who went the extra mile for an exhausted passenger, is on his way to social media stardom. The incident came to light after a heartwarming post of a LinkedIn user started making rounds on the internet. LinkedIn user Harsh Sharma penned down a long note wherein he talks about the act of kindness by a driver in Bengaluru, whom he hadn’t met before. He also attached two pictures of the driver alongside the post. Harsh Sharma revealed that an Uber driver named Ravi came to know that he hadn’t slept at night because of his flight. Later what Ravi did, left a “lifelong impression” on Harsh.

The LinkedIn user started his post by saying, “The person you see in this photo, he's not my relative, friend or anyone whom I knew until this happened. This Uber driver named Ravi unlike other cab drivers talking on earphones due to the language barrier, he saw I haven't slept due to my flight.” Wondering what happened next? Well, Ravi being the sweetest, “organised” Harsh’s seat so that he can lie down. Then Ravi even asked him if he had breakfast or not. Responding to this when Harsh said, “I said no. He told me ‘you sleep, I stop at good restaurant’, 1 hour later he wakes me up.”

After waking up Harsh noticed that they “are at a very crowded restaurant”, where Ravi had arranged a table for him. And while the restaurant was self-service, Ravi brought him the menu and suggested “some specialties of South India.” Harsh added, “We eat together and later he brings coffee and says ‘isse neend khulegi’. He didn't let me leave the table, I've met him an hour ago still he's treating me like his son.” Apart from Ravi’s affectionate gestures, what left Harsh stunned was witnessing people joining their table, which he had hardly come across before. Harsh said, “Moreover 2 people joined us at the table, that's very rarely seen in Delhi. So I was surprised.”

Calling Ravi “superhero in a cab,” Harsh said, “An average man in his 50s just left a lifelong impression on me and I am left here just feeling sooooo good and wondering that somewhere in this fast-paced life we left humanity way behind.” While social media users are singing praises for Ravi, many criticised Harsh for differentiating between North and South India, as he wrote, “South Indians are gems.” One user commented, “Your story and that person are really a gem but one thing to correct you ...There is no east, west, south, north India, There is just One India.” Another commented, “Everything that you have written is absolutely fine, don’t differentiate south and north, that too celebrated 75th year of our independence, I don’t see any difference, see only Indian, Jai Hind.”

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?

-

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
