The coronavirus pandemic is “not over anywhere until it’s over everywhere,” the head of the World Health Organization says — and it’s “most certainly not over.” People who work as political signature gatherers found a new way to make a buck during the pandemic: pop-up coronavirus test sites. The mushrooming spread of coronavirus mutations is presenting an unwelcome prospect — that the virus could outrun measles as the most contagious of all known infections.

We’re almost to the end of Pride month, but as the years roll by, how much progress we’ve made as a society when it comes to doing better by the queer community is a question that continues to haunt. Comedian Swati Sachdeva has found a way to address the misinformation shrouding the bisexual community in a stand-up bit that is going viral on social media. Her wry comedy taking a dig at the woefully little amount of knowledge that most of Indian society possesses about people of the bisexual orientation has become wildly popular. From someone only knowing the L and G of “LGBTQ” (if that) and thinking the “B” stood for “bohot saare lesbian gay”, to a guy proudly proclaiming his support for “LG TV” and apparently believing in his slip of tongue, Sachdeva’s bit takes on stereotypes against the LGBTQ community and shoots them down with humour. It also includes jokes on people equating bisexuality with wanting to do both commerce and science.
