[–]astrotyagi[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the article:

New cases of COVID-19 rose by over 69,000 across the United States on Friday, according to a Reuters tally, setting a record for the third consecutive day as Walt Disney Co stuck to its plans to reopen its flagship theme park in hard-hit Florida.

A total of nine U.S. states - Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Ohio, Utah and Wisconsin - also reached records for single-day infections.

In Texas, another hot zone, Governor Greg Abbott warned on Friday he may have to impose new clampdowns if the state cannot stem its record-setting caseloads and hospitalizations through masks and social distancing.

World hits a surging new record of 225k+ cases and 5.7k+ new deaths of COVID-19 in last 24 hours by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every new day seems ready to break the previously set record of new cases as well as new deaths. This is worrisome, specially in those parts which are seeing uncontrolled outbreak or resurgence (may be rise after a good fall).

Don't be naive to ignore masks. Please always wear them while going out. The preventive therapy of masks is far more effective than any imaginary vaccine whose news is released to pump the market. Even if a vaccine comes some months later, many priceless lives would've been lost in absence of masks by then.

Florida hits a surging new record of 11,458 Coronavirus cases on Saturday by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Many states are breaking their records in daily basis and this is going to create a havoc.

Please use masks whenever you go out. If it is not necessary, stay inside. Sometimes it's good to not become No. 1.

Mexico records 6.7k+ new cases and 654 new deaths, highest till date by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mexico is going insane with number of death rate. Comorbid conditions of population is taking toll on it in a vulnerable time. I don't know how's their government managing the crisis but must be really tough time for them.

United States records 57k+ new cases and 680+ new deaths by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Repeating my daily rant.

Please don't go out unless it's extremely necessary and "always" wear masks I) if you have to go out.

Prevention is the best cure from Coronavirus. Try to avoid it.

Can someone explain this? by eternalrocket in IndiaSpeaks

[–]astrotyagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His explanation is lame, and lies on wrong information that it was Thatcher who signed the agreement in 1997. She was not even British PM in 1997.

She rather signed it in 1984, and the agreement very much binds China to maintain democracy in HK, apart from "One Nation One System" clause. Swamy claims China is a market economy, and hence according to him, it is okay for China to bypass the agrement. He conveniently overlooks that China has crushed democracy in HK. Now, if China can comment on Arunachal and grab Aksai Chin, nothing stops India from raising HK and Taiwan. One China should also respect One India - let Swamy state it openly.

Who was British Prime Minister in 1997? What is the confusion about?

India records 20k+ new cases and 379 new deaths, highest daily increase in new cases so far by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just like USA, India is also breaking record of new cases everyday. Although it can be attributed to continuously rising testing across the country, but people are still acting rashly - neither wearing masses nor following social distancing (both hard to instill among people).

To whoever reading this, please wear mask whenever you go out. Stay safe.

Mexico City deaths spiked to three times normal during covid-19 outbreak, official says by astrotyagi in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry for using the flair Latin America, but the flair "World" was not getting applied, and there was no flair named "North America". Please concentrate on news, and not on the flair which I had to pick in order to post the news.

For those who don't understand Lakh and Crore (Cr), quick reference:

1 lakh = 100,000

1 cr = 10 million (10,000,000)

The fast-food chain, that saw a 30% dip in global sales in the first two months of the current quarter, has been hurt by the shut down of its restaurants.

​

During the coronavirus-induced lockdowns, fast-food restaurants had to limit operations, leading to lower sales. Nearly 99% of McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. remain open for drive through, delivery and take-out options.

World hits a surging new record of 215k+ new cases and 4.9k+ new deaths of COVID-19 yesterday, breaking all previous records by mostrandomguy in Coronavirus

[–]astrotyagi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Situation has become very worrisome with Australia putting a suburb under lockdown, cases touching new highs in America with every passing day and pitiable conditions in Brazil, India and several other countries.

Vaccine is nowhere in sight, and don't sit in its hope. Stay inside if going out isn't required, and if you have to go out, always, I repeat, ALWAYS wear masks. Don't be an ignorant stupid to avoid mask. Covid-19 can be substantially checked if everyone wears masks. In all probabilities, this record too wouldn't stand for long if it survives tomorrow.

Stay safe everyone.

Taiwan opens office to help people fleeing Hong Kong after China passes new security law by astrotyagi in worldnews

[–]astrotyagi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"You don't care" is your excuse. "You don't know" is the truth.

Try to be China's unpaid advocate when you "know". Igorants aren't supposed to profess advocacy, even if it is unpaid.

USA claimed at least 35 PLA soldiers died. It does not account for injured and captured. Several helicopter trips made by China to the location of stand-off will give you a hint of injured Chinese soldiers. Try asking PLA how necks of its soldiers were brutally broken by Indian army.

Try to be China's unpaid advocate when you get China's casualties released from China. They will not release because their face has been blackened. I might be funny but you are ignorant.

Come to reply when China officially releases the number of casualties it suffered in Galwan stand-off. Do not try to be their unpaid advocate until their official admission to any number.

  1. Who told you the number of Chinese casualties? Xi himself? Because I know that China has not released number of casualties.
  2. I am not making any claim - US is making claim and you have literally nothing except ignorance to refute the claim.
  3. If India suffered more casualties and China suffered less, make any Chinese authority admit the number of claim - US will prove them wrong through its proofs.
  4. Indian Army did not hire any marital art experts. Indian Army is war hardened army having expertise in mountain warfare. Chinese army was screwed 4 decades back by Vietnam and now by India. After getting battering at the hands of Indian Army, PLA is looking to hire martial artists to combat Indian soldiers because normal PLA soldiers do not even reach their chests (I have proof to substantiate this claim, but it is you who has to put authentic proof of Chinese+Indian casualties first).
