Amidst Coronavirus panic , here's what you're missing out on.

If you haven't been living under a rock , you'd know that the Corona Virus has taken the world by shock . Here are a few things that you might've not heard of during these crucial days :

The United States and Iran are on the verge of war:

You heard it right , after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani , there has been tension in the two countries since then. On 11th March 2020 , the birthday of the late Irani General , a series of rocket attacks took place at Camp Taji , which is situated at the north of Baghdad , where the combined joint force of US and Iraq is hosted. In this incident , 2 American soldiers and 1 British soldier was killed , whereas 14 other soldiers were injured.

Another plague in our hands :

A wave of locusts hit ' The Horn Of Africa ' [ East Africa ] about 2 months ago , which caused destruction to food security and livelihood . This second wave is expected to be 20 times worse than the first wave considering the young-adult locusts who are vicious eaters. A desert locust swarm can be 460 square miles in size and pack between 40 and 80 million locusts into less than half a square mile. Each locust can eat its weight in plants each day, so a swarm of such size would eat 423 million pounds of plants every day. The unexpected rains acted as a breeding ground for the locusts . Climate change is one of the main causes for this destructive invasion .

Reports of racism against Africans causes outrage in China :

During the Corona Virus outbreak , word has spread about the Chinese being racially discriminant about Africans residing in China , leaving a large number of Africans no home to return to. This has left a hole in African-Chinese relations.

Bernie Sanders suspends Presidential Campaign 2020 :

Bernie Sanders , a potential winner of the United States 2020 Presidential Elections suspends his campaign admitting that Vice President Joe Biden would possibly win , but he will be staying on the ballot .

More updates coming soon , stay tuned :)

Interviews With Recovered Covid-19 Patients : The Gravity of the Situation.

As an Indian , I have only seen people following curfews and lockdowns for the first 3-4 months. Some people are yet to understand the solemnity , the seriousness of the pandemic , and some overthink it. I'm here to clear exactly that. I conducted interviews with 3 individuals of different age groups , so as to determine that the virus affects everybody ; not just people of a certain age. Though most teenagers nowadays think that the virus may not affect them , this discussion with 17-year old Ambarish Bakshi from Aurangabad proves them otherwise. Blogger : Hello! So , Ambarish , when did you start experiencing symptoms? Ambarish : Hey . Approximately , 3-4 days before testing , and I started quarantining at the MIT Boys Hostel on 21st September till the 30th. B : What were the symptoms you were enduring? If you had to rate the intensity of your symptoms from a scale of 1-10 , what would it be? A : I had a headache , a mild fever , had cough , and ...
