DOWN TO EARTH
Down To Earth brings to you latest news, opinion and blogs on environment and science from India and south Asia. Follow us for information on water, waste, climate change and energy among othertopics
WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN’T TAKE THE COVID-19 VACCINE People with allergies. Yes, people with severe allergic reactions to foods, oral medications, latex, pets, insects and environmental triggers can get vaccinated. But people with a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to any component of the COVID-19 vaccine or injectable (intramuscular or intravenous) medication should NOT receive the vaccine. COVID-19: BEWARE OF ‘MEXICAN VARIANT’ COVID-19: Beware of ‘Mexican variant’. Down To Earth speaks to Saumitra Das, director of the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics in West Bengal about the possible role of a Mexican variant in the second wave of COVID-19 in India. The second wave of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected nearly 3.3 million peoplein
A DOSE OF TRUTH: THE REAL STORY OF INDIA’S COVID-19 A dose of truth: The real story of India’s COVID-19 vaccination programme. New investigation by Down To Earth stresses on encouraging public sector undertakings to manufacture vaccines — the government seems to agree. As India struggles to contain a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, its vaccination drive is threatening to fall apart. B16172 Q&A: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SARS-COV-2 VARIANT B16172 Q&A: all you need to know about this SARS-CoV-2 variant. The B16172 is one of three SARS-CoV-2 variants first reported in India. You may have heard it referred to as the ‘double mutant’. There is much we still don’t know about the B16172 variant, and it’s unclear whether its emergence will significantly derail plans to lift ‘DOUBLE MUTANT’ COVID-19 VARIANT COLONISES LUNGS DIRECTLY Published: Wednesday 21 April 2021. The ‘double mutant’ Indian variant of SARS-CoV-2, B.1.617, is indeed evading the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR test, physicians have admitted. Another close variant, B.1.618, first isolated from West Bengal in October 2020; is also adding to the risk. ‘SUTRA MODELLERS’ CLAIM OF INDIA REACHING HERD IMMUNITY Health ‘SUTRA modellers’ claim of India reaching herd immunity last September was wrong’ Down To Earth speaks to Ashoka University Professor Gautam Menon as to why the Union government’s model, SUTRA, failed to predict the second wave of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in India. COVID-19: HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VACCINES, ANTIBODIES COVID-19: Here’s the difference between vaccines, antibodies. Vaccines are chemicals that help the body develop antibodies while antibodies are developed by the body’s immune system to fight pathogens. Italy and Israel both claim to have had breakthroughs in developing methods to neutralise the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2),that is
MEGHALAYA COAL MINE MISHAP: A WEEK ON, NO SIGN OF TRAPPED Published: Monday 07 June 2021. Rains hampered rescue operations at a coal mine in East Jaintia Hills where five workers have been trapped since May 30. Photo: By special arrangement. A week after a dynamite blast led to the flooding of a coal mine in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills, the search for five trapped miners continued to be in vain. HOW LIVESTOCK FARMING AFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT Another major concern is greenhouse gas emissions. Raising livestock generates 14.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions that are very bad for the environment. Forests help lower the risks of sudden climate change and also tone down the impacts from natural disasters. Water is another natural resource that is being depleted rapidly.DOWN TO EARTH
