Adul Al Salami Kebab, 11 May 2021You are severely misinformed, the latest variant of Covid-1... moreI agree. I have seen it very closely. It is different from first wave in mainly in two ways -
1. it spreads superfast
2. It is more deadly on lungs, before you even realise 40 % of your lung is damaged and body oxygen is below 85. Good healthy young but some unfortunate people probably with genetically vulnerable lungs are also dying.
For 2 more months there will be shortage of oxygen, treatment centers.
So if you are in india take precautions seriously.

              In January Modi boasted that India saves the world. Now nations around the world rush the supplies trying to save India. Modi and his governments, by allowing of million to attend numerous festivals, and holding election rallies with tens of thousands of people, single handed create Indian second wave of covid virus.

                          That's why I have both Apple phone and Android phone.
                          Bottom line, some things are done better in IOS (privacy, simplicity of menus, services, quality of the apps in the store, etc.), other things in Android (flexibility of the OS, customisation, etc.). Sadly, neither system is perfect.

Their CEO and board of directors are laughing their way to the bank while iPhone users struggling to run any heavy game beyond 5 minutes without overheating and thermal throttling.
                                        But that is to expected from loser ecosystem like iOS. Android has left them in dust.
