After a year of gloom and doom, no travel, online classes and shortages of medical support, heard something good, coming out of India.
Zydus Cadila, an Indian pharma company claims it will have another indigenous vaccine soon, if it clears emergency use approval after current trials. Another is a treatment for the Corona virus developed by DRDO that has been approved, to the best of my knowledge.
The cure, if it can be scaled and distributed, will have far-reaching effects. So will the vaccine, as it is fully indigenous if I understood correctly.
Both may bring much-needed relief to the many suffering, not just the patients but also their friends and family.
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories have not subsided on whether it is an engineered virus. Tough to prove either way, but we must improve both our diagnostic skills to prove it, and our intelligence to stop attempts to manufacture some, if someone is doing so.
