Viral video: Punjab Police Labrador dog Simmy beats cancer and resumes duty

-

Dogs are called the man’s best friend and it is true in every sense. From being the most loyal companions to accompanying their owners in every challenging situation, the role of our four-pawed partners is not just limited inside homes or friendly neighbourhoods but also to the country.

In literal terms, just like our brave and alert police officers, with an elite sense of smell and agility, police dogs also play a key role in tracing culprits, theft, breaking up drug rings, and supporting the force as a whole.

One such well-trained and brave canine, serving with the Punjab Police recently defeated cancer and reported back on duty. A member of the Punjab Police’s Canine squad, a labrador dog named Simmy was undergoing treatment for cancer and now seems completely recovered.

A video of the now-healthy labrador has been shared by the news agency ANI, showing the dog coming out of the police van and sniffing around.

Watch:

“Faridkot: A Labrador dog named Simmy, who is part of the Punjab Police Canine squad, beats cancer and joins back duty,” the caption of the video read.

As per media reports, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Faridkot, Harjit Singh while speaking about the dog said that Simmy was suffering from cancer for a long time and her health has improved. “She helps in anti-sabotage checking and has helped the police to seize intoxicating substances from a foreigner,” he added. 

In the meantime, social media users while reacting to the video shared delight over watching the canine back in action. A user called her “Fighter”, while another one wrote, “Such a strong gurll.”

“So happy to see this,” a third user commented, while another one commented, “Loads of blessings for Simmy.”

Notably, the police force is also known for giving special treatment to their canine partners. From paying tributes to martyred dogs to giving them dignified farewell upon retirement, service dogs and their contributions have also been upheld by the force.

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
