COVID help from US to India reflects strong partnership between two countries: TS Sandhu
In an exclusive interview to ANI, Indian Ambassador to US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu said the help from the United States during 2nd wave of COVID-19 in the country reflected strong partnership between the two countries.
"This evening, US' C-5 aircraft, with oxygen cylinders, oxygen regulators and other essential supplies, has taken off from California and it's expected to land in Delhi tomorrow.
There'll be perhaps more such sorties that will be undertaken.
On 26th April, President Joe Biden spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed solidarity.
The conversation was warm, positive and fruitful.
President Biden reaffirmed that US is determined to support India's efforts to contain the COVID pandemic," said Indian Ambassador to US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
He further said, "President Biden also very quickly deployed resources that included oxygen equipment, supplies, therapeutics, ventilators and other critical material for vaccine manufacturing in India.
Simultaneously there are being conversations between EAM and US Secretary of State, NSA and India's NSA.
You also saw tweets by Vice President and other senior cabinet ministers.
This entire thing reflects strong partnership between the two countries.
US and its leadership has clearly stated in public that during this trying time, US will stand shoulder to shoulder with India."
US President Joe Biden is expected to pass a bill on Wednesday giving Ukraine $60 billion in its efforts to stave off Russia's ongoing invasion. Despite the hoopla some Ukrainian lawmakers express hesitation about how the support will actually help the front line.

focused on hospitalized patients.
The environment of their treatment

Patients were asked to compare the quality and length
of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to
fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID.
Patients were asked to compare the quality and length

Of the 1,056 people surveyed, over 76.1% of
participants said they experienced insomnia.
22.8% of those surveyed reported
experiencing severe insomnia.
The study found that two groups experienced
a statistically significant increased rate of insomnia,
including those with depressive or anxious symptoms.
The authors of the study note that further
investigation of the connection between COVID,
mental health problems and insomnia is needed.
Since this is a cross-sectional
study, the relationship of anxiety
and depression with insomnia
cannot be fully investigated, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article

Last week, workers held sit-in
protests at Google's offices in both

The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers

According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for
No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired
"over 20" more workers, “including non-participating
bystanders during last week’s protests.”.

the corporation is attempting
to quash dissent, silence
its workers, and reassert
its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

How Did '4/20' Become
a Holiday for Weed?.
One common theory is that it stems
from a California criminal code for
those who distribute the drug.
According to CNN, California's 420 code is actually for obstructing entry on public land.
The state's medical marijuana
program was created from a bill
with the number 420.
Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum's Chris Conrad
says "4/20" started as a code in
Marin County, California, at San Rafael High School.
In the 1970s, a group called
"The Waldos" would get together at
4:20 PM to smoke pot.
The time of the day was convenient as it
was right after school ended with
no parental supervision just yet.
"4/20" became a code word that allowed
them to notify each other in front of
unsuspecting parents.
From there, the phrase likely
spread across the country
