Meanwhile, Director-General of Health Services Atul Goel told reporters on Friday that no case of the respiratory illness — HMPV — has been reported in the country yet. Stating that the Union government was closely monitoring news about the possible HMPV outbreak in China, he added that as of now, there was no cause for alarm. “HMPV is like any other respiratory virus that causes flu-like symptoms, mostly in the elderly and children,” said Dr. Goel, adding that respiratory illnesses are common during winters and that hospitals in India are equipped to deal with them. “Special medicines are not needed because there are no anti-viral drugs against this. There are no major cases, in hospitals or as per Indian Council of Medical Research data,’’ he added.



According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the public health agency of the United States, HMPV can cause upper and lower respiratory disease in people of all ages, especially among young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.


Discovered in 2001, the HMPV belongs to the Pneumoviridae family along with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Broader use of molecular diagnostic testing has increased identification and awareness of HMPV as an important cause of upper and lower respiratory infection.


Symptoms commonly associated with the virus include cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. Clinical symptoms of HMPV infection may progress to bronchitis or pneumonia and are similar to other viral infections that cause upper and lower respiratory infections. The estimated incubation period is three to six days, and the median duration of illness can vary depending upon severity but is like other respiratory infections caused by viruses.


The HMPV is most likely to spread from an infected person to others through secretions from coughing and sneezing, and close personal contact such as touching or shaking hands, touching objects or surfaces that have the viruses on them before touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.


In the U.S., the HMPV circulates in distinct annual seasons. HMPV circulation begins in winter and lasts until or through spring.

Proving dhruv rathee facts fake and one sided ?

 How dhruv rathee Manipulated Indian Audience? In an interesting turn of events, the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday submitted in the Supreme Court that he had made a mistake by reposting an allegedly ‘defamatory’ post of YouTuber Dhruv Rathi, which targeted the BJP IT cell. A Supreme Court bench comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Datta opted not to issue a notice on Kejriwal’s plea challenging a Delhi High Court ruling that upheld his summons in a criminal defamation case. The Supreme Court, instead, asked the complainant whether they intended to close the matter, considering the chief minister’s apology. Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi who was appearing for Kejriwal, said, “I can say this much that I made a mistake by retweeting.” “Thereafter, the complaint was withdrawn. When it was refiled, after nine months of the retweeting, it was suppressed that the original complaint was withdrawn,” the senior lawyer said while asserting that the complain...

With millions of subscribers and billions of views, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has achieved a level of fame that many influencers can only dream of. However, despite his undeniable success, there is a growing argument that MrBeast might be highly overrated. Let’s explore some of the reasons behind this perspective. 1. A Formulaic Approach to Content One of the most compelling arguments against MrBeast’s high standing is his reliance on a highly formulaic approach to content creation. MrBeast's videos are essentially variations on a few central themes: elaborate challenges, enormous cash giveaways, and over-the-top stunts. While these elements do engage audiences, they are not necessarily the hallmark of innovative or groundbreaking content.
