Mosquito bites
M y disgruntled uncle recently said that if the coronavirus was at least visible to the naked eyes, we could smash it with our bare hands, bringing the pandemic to an end. But our experience with another organism, the mosquito, which is at least a million times bigger than the virus, has proven us wrong. The mosquitoes are reasonably big, unmissable even for a person with cataract. It makes an annoyingly irritating buzzing sound near our ears audible even for an octogenarian hard of hearing. But it has managed to escape our “slaps and claps” and has been pestering us since time immemorial. Globally, the mosquito and its dirty baggage (mosquito-borne diseases) affect 700 million people and kill one million every year. It has been a source of diseases and death for hundreds of years. It has been living on earth even before the humans appeared, as carbon studies date its existence from about 200 million years ago. One can remember the iconic scene in the Jurassic Park movie where a … [Read more...] about Mosquito bites
Brit engineer ‘knows where missing MH370 plane is’ – but says some ‘don’t want it found’
An MH370 expert has claimed he knows the exact location of the lost plane. All 239 passengers and crew on board the Malaysia Airlines flight vanished along with the plane on March 8, 2014. British aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey claims he has narrowed down the search area for the aircraft to just 115 square miles, the Daily Star reports. The plane disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, to Beijing, China, and is believed to have crashed. Mr Godfrey believes he has now pinpointed the wrecked aircraft's location to 33.177°S 95.300°E. Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity announced at the 8th anniversary of the disappearance that they'll start a fresh search early 2023, in conjunction with Mr Godfrey.

Pfizer says tweaked COVID-19 shots boost omicron protection
Pfizer announced Saturday that tweaking its COVID-19 vaccine to better target the omicron variant is safe and works — just days before regulators debate whether to offer Americans updated booster shots this fall. The vaccines currently used in the U.S. still offer strong protection against severe COVID-19 disease and death -- especially if people have gotten a booster dose. But those vaccines target the original coronavirus strain and their effectiveness against any infection dropped markedly when the super-contagious omicron mutant emerged. Now with omicron’s even more transmissible relatives spreading widely, the Food and Drug Administration is considering ordering a recipe change for the vaccines made by both Pfizer and rival Moderna in hopes that modified boosters could better protect against another COVID-19 surge expected this fall and winter. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech studied two different ways of updating their shots -- targeting just omicron, or a … [Read more...] about Pfizer says tweaked COVID-19 shots boost omicron protection
