Bengaluru based oncologist is hopeful of finding potion that could be useful in treating COVID-19 patients. Dr. Vishal Rao said, “Human body cells release interferon chemical to kill viruses. But it can't be released by cells in the case of COVID-19 cases, leading to weak immune system. We got hold of some preprint suggesting that interferon is effective in COVID-19.”

I don’t know. Lots of Indian doctors these days and that dude sounds like he’s solved a few problems. Talking about “buffy coat” and stuff. What the heck is that? I can beat most in tennis though.

I think that those Indians will work for comparative chump change here. Besides HERE, the USA, beats the holy heck out THERE...India. It's a filthy country...but, NOT, however, the worst. China wins that award.

The Indian upper class was a deliberate attempt to mirror the British upper class. Remember the "Raj" stories, books and movies, "Jewel of the Crown"?

My parents house in India had flush toilets in the house they built in 1939. When I arrived in Iowa in 1960, my college friend invited me to go to their parents home somewhere in Iowa, and I was shocked they still had out houses in USA. His dad was a farmer and the steaks from their corn fed farm raised cow was one of the best ever. His mom was school teacher, but I forget the name of their town after 60 years. It was near the highway from Iowa city towards Des Moines.

Kumar’s Law: No conversation about India can continue without it eventually turning into a conversation about the state of their toilets.

I probably have shoes older than you so I discovered this way before you did. But I get you’re point.

WOW!

Gotta remember that name, Ramanujan. I see he married but had no children of his own (his widow later adopted a son.) Funny thought, I wish he had had time and chance to propagate his genes. What a gift from God.
