Not so fast Cyrani gaaru. Japan could not "require". if the other party says "else"? How a Japan with no army would enforce thier will? as for Indan PP, there were several Uak citizens in desh back in 1950. That is a symmetrical language. if brutes held up India. citizens either...

It would be a great step for federal integration if this process is accelerated. At least compared to the US it would dramatically improve the picture in India.

This is all a tortuous misinterpretation of the language. ALL of it is intended for agents of foreign governments. I have besides me the passports of four countries.

Vayutuvan, you're derailing this thread with everything from 'eurotrash' to beef consumption. You're on notice.

Covaxin production likely exceeds 60 million a month now - its consumption data on a trailing one month basis exceeds that figure with no significant drop in total supply. It is however true that demographic groups sizes prevent them from opening up 12-14 right now. The 15-17 group is 75 million . T...

OT maybe but NYT and Bloomberg both have extremely negative headlines for budget. The Bloomberg guy called Andy Mukherjee seems to be on a 24x7 crusade against Modi/India. No worries. Andy & Suraj are fast friends. :rotfl: If people don't know the joke, it's that Andy blocked me on Twitter befo...

disha A question arising from your comment on Suraj's article. What exactly is the demand for air purifiers? I thought it is something that people in Delhi use perhaps in increasing numbers.

Last I knew, the US FDA had closed the door on further EUAs and asked BBIL to apply for a regular approval for Covaxin. As to why they shut the EUA door at that point, one gets a distinct whiff of NPT and CTBT shenanigans. That's right. With Pfizer's no-doubt-benevolent support they ended the proce...

We'll probably still top 50 million doses this week, which would easily be among the 10 best ever weeks. 109 million doses for the month of Jan up to 14th.

I don't agree with the PFCE argument. The private consumption figure has been in secular decline for decades now. It used to be almost 85% of GDP in the early 1950s. It dropped to 61-62% of GDP by 2000, to 58-59% of GDP in 2010, and for the past few years has trended around 56% of GDP. The growth dr...

Do we have enough stock to recommend booster dose for all above 50? At what interval from second dose ? 9 months means the number of people involved is far too small to have any impact on supply.

It is more structural in nature. Consumption used to account for ~85% of GDP at one time in the 1950s and around 61-62% at the turn of the century. It's fallen progressively as investment and trade account for larger parts of GDP. It's not a one year drop - it's been around 56% for a few years now.

Suraj

Sure we do. Saturday is typically like any other weekday, and Sundays's are anywhere from 1.5-4 million doses.

Another strong day of vaccinations. So far this week:
Sun 2,837,478
Mon 9,247,316
Tue 10,116,832
Wed 9,566,037

Week to date is already 32 million. Should finish with around 55-60 million by Saturday.

12.5 million kids in the 15-17 age group have so far received their Covaxin doses.

Yes Kohli has 16 away wins - he might just finish his career with more away wins than Ganguly has total wins. In fact he has a positive (16-13) away win/loss record along with Ganguly (11-10).
