COVID-19 could end up taking down two presidents—the one who was grossly incompetent , and the one who expected to ride a vaccine to victory over the coronavirus. In other words, Donald Trump might very well have been re-elected if he had handled COVID responsibly. And while Joe Biden’s been an improvement, the perception of his management of the pandemic isn’t great, and that could be his undoing. A New York Times analysis of Biden’s decline in the polls from the mid-50s to his current 42 percent reveals that the downward pressure started well before the messy August 2021 exit from Afghanistan took its toll . The slippage in Biden’s numbers, in fact, coincided with the rise of the more transmissible Delta variant and with it, a growing awareness among the public that the administration’s cheery declaration of a post-vaccine “summer of freedom” had turned into something quite different. Biden’s Independence Day celebration was “the domestic equivalent of Mission … [Read more...] about Biden Needs to Fix His COVID Screwups if He Wants to Win Re-Election in 2024

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories reported a close to 83% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹97 crore for the quarter ended March. Revenue from operations increased almost 15% to ₹5,474.9 crore. Denting the bottomline were the ₹741-crore impairment charges the generic drugmaker recorded on account of significant changes to market conditions for certain products, especially a decrease in market potential and increased competition leading to lower volumes, according to the results prepared under the Indian Accounting Standards. The company also made provisions towards an old litigation with the State of Texas, U.S. of ₹98 crore. For the fiscal, net profit climbed to ₹2,182.5 crore (₹1,951.6 crore) that came on an 11.6% increase in revenue from operations to ₹21,545.2 crore. “We delivered healthy growth in revenue, though the profits were impacted by impairment charges,” co-chairman and MD G.V.

Virat Kohli (73, 54b, 8x4, 2x6) returned to form to give Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) an eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) in its last group stage IPL match here on Thursday, May 19, 2022. The win kept RCB (16 points) in the hunt for a playoffs spot. If Delhi Capitals (14 points) loses to Mumbai Indians on Sunday, RCB will make the cut. Kohli, who has struggled for form this season, anchored the successful chase of 169. He was lucky early in his essay, when Rashid Khan put down a chance at deep square-leg. Rashid rushed in too early and could not get under the high ball. Kohli cashed in to record his highest score of the edition. Faf du Plessis (44, 38b, 5x4) and Kohli set RCB on the path to victory with a 115-run opening stand. Kohli reached his fifty with a six, leading the big crowd at the Wankhede Stadium to chant his name. Rashid, who engaged in a verbal banter with Kohli when he came on to bowl, eventually got his man stumped. At this stage, RCB needed a … [Read more...] about IPL 2022 | Kohli regains his touch, powers Royal Challengers to a comfortable win against Gujarat Titans
