I came here to read your views on it but since a thread does not exist yet, I am creating one. Let this be the single place to read info about how to prevent this devil from entering your body. Those of you who are in Noida / Bangalore, what are your views? Assuming the Noida man had this thing since 20th Feb, he would have gone to a lot of crowded places in last 10 days and since incubation period is 15 days, we may not know who all locally caught this in last 10 days !

We don’t want to compromise on that. I personally feel, maybe in any week of January,
we can be in a position to give first COVID vaccine shot to people of India” : Dr Harsh Vardhan

DGCI’s subject expert committee is currently examining three COVID-19 vaccines;
Covaxin, Pfizer-BioNTech and Covishield for emergency use authorisation.

I don’t think colleges are going to open anytime soon. I am sure about IITs at least, as my next semester is going online too. Maybe some local colleges might reopen but that’s it.

China sentences lawyer who reported on coronavirus outbreak to 4 years in prison

Chinese court on Monday sentenced a former lawyer who reported on the early stage of the coronavirus outbreak to four years in prison on charges of “picking fights and provoking trouble,” one of her lawyers said

Lawyer Zhang Keke confirmed the sentence but said it was “inconvenient” to provide details — usually an indication that the court has issued a partial gag order. He said the court did not ask Zhang whether she would appeal, nor did she indicate whether she would.

Zhang, 37, traveled to Wuhan in February and posted on various social media platforms about the outbreak that is believed to have emerged in the central Chinese city late last year.
