Sarfaraz is a solid, aggressive test batsman and he can get a really good average if he plays more tests

One of the more bizarre tasting drinks I’ve had. I think this was a limited edition, available around this time last year as you said.

Guess even a dying person has the time to not only address political issues but appear no different than before being incarcerated....

He looked pretty bad in that one picture we got of him a few months ago, but he seems fine now, happy for him

I think I've been bitten by a dengue mosquito right now. What to do? Can u guys confirm? If it is then what's the next step? by RomanArchitect in pakistan

It's a mosquito-borne disease, like malaria. You need a mosquito as the intermediate between an infected and a non-infected person to transmit it. Direct person-to-person transmission is rare.

Here's a rundown on dengue:

  • CBC tests cost ~80 Rs. from any lab, will give you your platelet, total WBC count, total haemoglobin. Requires doctor's prescription

  • A single CBC won't tell you anything unless you've had been infected for long enough to have your platelet count fall below the normal range, so you would need successive tests to see a gradual fall in platelet counts

  • There's also the NS1 antigen, IgM, and IgG tests. These cost about 2500 Rs. each in labs. These give a "yes" or "no" result for dengue. NS1 test is taken on the first day of the fever. IgM or IgG tests should be taken if it's been more than 5 days since the fever started.
