'Behave like a PM': Shehbaz Sharif lampooned for mocking India's T20 World Cup loss

-

New Delhi: Taking a dig at India’s 10-wicket defeat in the T20 World Cup Semi-final match against England, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday wrote on Twitter that the final match on Sunday is now between “152/0 vs 170/0,” apparently referring to India’s 10-wicket loss against Pakistan last year.

“So, this Sunday, it’s: 152/0 vs 170/0,” Sharif tweeted after India’s loss.

However, Sharif’s trolling drew massive flak from Twitter users who lashed out at him for his “childish remarks”.

“Trolling badhiya kar lete ho Shehbaz Sharif. Lekin awaam trolling ke liye vote nahi deti. Apna dhyaan mulk ki behtari par lagao. Ye chidhane aur taunt maarne ka kaam aam logo par chhod do. Prime Minister ki tarah behave karo yaar,” on user wrote.

“Still your 93,000/0 record is better,” another one added while reminding Sharif of the 1971 war.

Tehseen Poonawalla wrote, “So this Sunday it’s: GDP rank 42nd vs GDP rank 6th (nominal, 2022). And we the world’s 5th largest economy that overtook both of the above will have a fun time cheering and enjoying whoever wins, cause WE are funding the #ICCWorldCup2022. Enjoy.”

He added, “Many Indians were happy for #PakistanCricket & were looking forward to seeing a thrilling #India vs #Pakistan final. This is the #Pakistan PM not some troll tweeting ! Would ANY of our INDIAN PM tweet this way? I guess this maturity in our leadership also shows in our economy!”

The Rohit Sharma-led side bowed out of the tournament after losing to England in the semis as the English side chased down a target of 169 runs with loss of no wicket and four overs to spare.

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
