    With the rising numbers of COVID cases in the country, it feels like there’s no end to people's miseries.  
    People are dying because there’s a shortage of oxygen in hospitals and the visuals are terrifying. And this has led to countless deaths, as social media is full of stories of such cases.

    Sutapa Sikdar, the wife of late actor Irrfan Khan, expressed deep sorrow over the death of a relative named Sameer Banerjee who passed away due to COVID-19 and called out authorities over shortage of ICU beds in the national capital.

    The novel pandemic has been claiming lives rapidly in the second wave as well and the lack of facilities proves that both central and most state governments have been failing terribly. 
    Sikdar took to Facebook to pen down the emotional turmoil she underwent after her friend's death. She mentioned that it wasn't an obituary and urged people to not forget the pain caused by the second wave of the novel Coronavirus.
    Her post read as “#notanobituary #don’tforget I posted day before for help for my relative Sameer Banerjee. Today he left us. We couldn't set up an ICU at home in Delhi the capital of India. And we couldn’t get a bed in the hospital. My gratitude to all the COVID-91 warriors who helped. I will never forget you all, my blessings to you all till I live, I will never forget Sameerda’s smile. I will cherish my adolescent memories with him. I will never forget that I couldn’t get a bed in ICU for him because he was not Chota Rajan. He was an honest man. I will not forget this mayhem in Delhi. You don’t forget too that Banerjees, Sheikhs, Das Adjanias all have to go and they could have stayed with us all a bit longer if we would have concentrated as a country more on hospital oxygen plants than Hindu festivals and Muslim festivals. #delhigovt #modi #bettertobeachotarajan #dontforget."

    Posted by Sutapa Sikdar on Sunday, 2 May 2021For those who aren’t aware, Chhota Rajan had tested positive for COVID-19 in April and was admitted to the New Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Services (AIIMS). 
    It’s sad that people have to go so much just for the bare minimum and all this helplessness is making people lose hope completely because there’s no immediate relief in near sight.

    Meanwhile, Sikdar has been using her social media account to seek medical help for many people in her circle.

    On Monday, India reported 3.68 lakh fresh cases and 3,417 deaths. On the other hand, Delhi on Sunday reported 20,394 new cases and 407 fatalities.
    MensXP prays for everyone who has been dealing with personal losses.

    Apple has been at the forefront when it comes to adding health features to the Apple Watch that end up saving lives. The smartwatch is already capable of taking Electrocardiograph (ECG) readings, blood oxygen (SpO2) readings and also has a fall-detection feature. All of these features on the Apple Watch have been credited for saving numerous lives and it seems like Apple is looking to add even more life-saving features.

    According to a recent report by British outlet The Telegraph, a British start-up called Rockley Photonics is looking to supply new types of sensors to Apple. These sensors could be used in devices that can detect blood glucose levels, alcohol levels and take blood pressure readings. 

    The British start-up has shown in listed documents as Apple being a major contributor towards its revenues. The company primarily focuses on developing sensors that track blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood alcohol levels. It’s not a long shot to assume that these features could make their way to the Apple Watch as soon as 2022. 
    Wearables having the ability to track blood sugar or blood pressure isn’t news as previous leaks have suggested that even Samsung is working on a smartwatch with similar capabilities. The South Korean giant developed a system to monitor blood sugar levels using the Rama Spectroscopy method. This process uses lasers to determine the chemical composition of a user.

    Apple is said to be working on a patent application for components that could be used to monitor glucose levels through the skin. Having said that, this method could put the accuracy of the feature in question until it has been tested thoroughly. Having said that, at CES 2021, a Japanese Company, Quantum Operations did showcase a wearable prototype that uses the Rama Spectroscopy method to determine blood sugar readings. The device was able to give a result in 20 seconds and we could expect something similar from Samsung’s next Galaxy Watch if the company decides to implement the feature.

    The SunRisers Hyderabad are in the news for all the wrong reasons ever since they decided to make a very bold move in not only taking away the team captaincy from Australian batsman David Warner but also dropping him from the Playing XI ahead of the match between Rajasthan Royals.
    While the decision to give the captaincy to New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson still made a lot of sense and the fans were actually behind the management’s decision to do so, the news of Warner being left out of the batting order quickly turned the SRH supporters against them.

    It was under Warner’s leadership that the franchise won their only championship back in 2016 and the kind of love and support the Aussi has shown towards the team and its fan-base had made him the most lovable overseas player in the region.
    It seems David Warner’s family members had also gotten extremely close with the franchise and when the news of him being dropped from the roster first reached them, his brother, Steve Warner expressed his disappointment with the team.

    “Leave this here @sunrisershyd a bloke that has carried this team for years, your openers aren’t the issue how about getting a decent middle order that scores some runs,” he wrote in the caption while sharing his brother’s exceptional batting record as a member of the SRH franchise over the past six years.

    During the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League, the Hyderabad team played a total of six matches under Warner’s leadership but managed to win just one. Anchored at the very bottom of the IPL Points Table with just two points at the moment, the season does not look too promising for the one-time champions.

    After his final defeat as the captain, Warner had made an emotional statement about how he wanted to take full responsibility for the losses.
    "I take full responsibility. The way that I batted was obviously very slow," Warner had said after losing the match to Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday. 
    "I was hitting a lot of fielders and [was] very, very frustrated... Look, I take full responsibility from a batting point of view. I felt [that with] Manish [Pandey] coming back into the team, the way that he batted was exceptional. And obviously Kane [Williamson] and Kedar [Jadhav] towards the back end there, they put some boundaries away and got us to a respectable total. I felt that we were probably just below par from where we were. But yeah look, at the end of the day, I'll take full responsibility," he had added.

    India has been severely hit by the second wave of the novel Coronavirus and it’s disturbing to see how people are struggling to claim the old power they had over their lives. 

    Sadly, most state governments and health care infrastructure are almost crippled by the burgeoning pressure with no end to their woes in sight.

    Amid all the negativity around, some people are still managing to take advantage of the situation in order to make money, proving that humanity has been kept on the back burner.

    With reports of fake medications being sold making rounds, Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar took to Twitter to slam these 'monsters'. 
    “Seen a news report of people manufacturing & selling fake Covid medication. You have to be a special kind of monster to con people in these dark & desperate times. Shame on you, whoever you are!!!” Farhan's tweet read.

    Fans agreed with him and came out to support his stance. One of the users wrote, “You haven’t heard about the cost of plasma donation? Or Ambulances charging a bomb to take the body to cremation? They are everywhere… trying to make money over dead bodies.” 
    Another wrote, “I feel people who are trying to line their pockets with money atm, don't realize that they are lining their pockets with the death and misery of thousands of people. They don't realize that this pain and misery in their pockets will haunt them later in life.”

    Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor will be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra film’s Toofan and it will be the second collaboration with the director after the hit sports biopic, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013).

    Talking about the film, Mehra earlier said, “Toofaan is a story of an underdog and most importantly, it's a story about spreading love rather than creating differences. Whether rich or poor, every country is going through some issue or the other and we all carry wounds. Toofaan is not an attempt to scratch those wounds but to apply a soothing balm. Anybody from any part of the world will identify with that.”

    India's present-day situation due to the deadly second wave of COVID has left us all benumbed.

    With an acute shortage of beds and oxygen cylinders, the country's current situation seems to be deteriorating each day. But, thanks to the citizens and their donations along with international help, there seems to be a glimmer of hope.

    We also have a few Bollywood celebrities who are coming forth and doing their bit to fight the virus.

    Now that India has started installing new oxygen plants, turns out, Kangana Ranaut isn't convinced with the whole idea. 
    Very recently, the actress yet again took to Twitter to share her two bits on the matter. 
    "Everybody is building more and more oxygen plants, getting tons and tons of oxygen cylinders, how are we compensating for all the oxygen that we are forcefully drawing from the environment? It seems we learnt nothing from our mistakes and catastrophes they cause #PlantTrees," her Tweet read.

    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) May 3, 2021 In the thread, she also mentioned if someone takes oxygen, the person should also give it back to the environment. 
    She further added, "Along with announcing more and more oxygen for humans, governments must announce relief for nature also, people who are using this oxygen should also pledge to work on improving the air quality, for how long we going to be miserable pests only taking never giving back to nature?"
    Remember any other life if disappears from earth even microbes or insects it will affect fertility of soil and Mother Earth’s health she will miss them but if humans disappear Earth will only and only flourish,if you aren’t her lover or child you are just unnecessary #PlantTrees
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) May 3, 2021
    To add more to the matter, Kangana finally concluded by saying, "Remember any other life if disappears from earth even microbes or insects it will affect fertility of soil and Mother Earth’s health she will miss them but if humans disappear Earth will only and only flourish, if you aren’t her lover or child you are just unnecessary #PlantTrees
    Recently, even the Delhi High Court had said that the hospitals should take into consideration the shortage of oxygen and instead, set up plants, as they are an essential part and it would be irresponsible to not have them.
    As soon as Kangana tweeted on this matter, the people on Twitter couldn't hold back from commenting on her suggestions: 
    You have the courage to blame everyone for oxygen shortage but not 2 leaders.
    — Girish Arora (@AroraGirish) May 3, 2021Iss Pandemic me Aapke controversial tweets padh-kar we are compensating for all the oxygen.

    Agar kisi ki help nhi Kar sakte toh Thode din toh shaanti se baith jao Yar.
    — प्रेम #RR (@nawaabshahab) May 3, 2021Don't worry Ma'am My Great Grandfather has started taking oxygen from only one Nostril to save oxygen. Also on the suggestion of yogi ji he is trying to extract oxygen from Nitrogen that is being released from his body.
    — Jitesh Rochlani (@JRism9) May 3, 2021She is very cruel. At this time also she is giving pravachan and insulting humans.

    Why forcing people to plant trees, why not this responsibility of planting bulk trees be taken by govt.
    — READ MY BIO (INC) (@khr6655) May 3, 2021Need of the hour women people are dying right left and center, are you not able to see?. Now, about trees,were you sleeping earlier? Laga leti pahle, sirf bolna he ata hai tere ko.

    — Balaram Sahu (@blrmsahu6) May 3, 2021Why are people in himachal dying due to dearth of oxygen? U also need to build more and more hospitals to save your people. If u went to school, u would have known the difference.
    — Ramneek (@MannRamneek) May 3, 2021For people who will come and start giving gyan to her that there is no connection btn medical oxygen and oxygen present in environment... calm down it is extracted from environment only.. #PlantTrees pic.twitter.com/fD0mMAaJiH
    — Rave$rant (@Raverant3) May 3, 2021What did you smoke today? Did you smoke cheap drugs??? People are dying, priority is to save human lives!!!!
    If humans are going to survive, they will watch your movies and surely plant more trees!!!

    If you’ve been trying to find the nearest vaccination centre to you, WhatsApp has released a chatbot that will automatically give you the required information. The chatbot was developed in collaboration with health partners and helplines. The MyGovIndia Twitter handle also announced the new chatbot feature via a tweet and asked users to type ‘Namaste’ to 9013151515 on WhatsApp.

    “Find your nearest vaccination centre right here, through the MyGov Corona Helpdesk Chatbot! Simply type ‘Namaste’ at 9013151515 on WhatsApp or visit Prepare, don't panic!' the tweet said. 

    Users will then be greeted with an automated message that contains relevant emergency contacts and a link to the Arogya Setu app. If you are looking for a vaccination centre, you simply need to respond with ‘option 1’. The chatbot takes a bit of time to respond to the request so we request you to be a bit patient with the results.

    The help service is available in both Hindi and English and one can change the language by simply typing ‘Hindi’ or ‘हिन्दी’.

    You can also register for the vaccine as the chatbot also sends a link for registration on the Cowin website. The vaccine drive is now open to everybody above the age of 18 in the country, however getting an appointment depends on local curfew rules. 
    COVID-19 cases in India are at an all-time high and we highly encourage you to get vaccinated as soon as possible to curb the spread of the virus. There are plenty of ways to find information about the vaccination and its process including the new helpdesk on WhatsApp. You can also use the CoWIN portal, Google Maps, and Aarogya Setu to find out the closest vaccination centre for you and your family.
