    After a successful 2019, studded with flagship killers, a music concert and pop-up events, OnePlus is now in the news for being the first smartphone manufacturer to have 5G support across a full product line up.
    On 12th March 2020, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that its next product series will include a full lineup of 5G devices, further solidifying OnePlus as a pioneer in ushering in the 5G era.

    â Pete Lau (@PeteLau) March 10, 2020 This development stands extremely relevant to todayâs customer base where thereâs a rising demand for data communication â be it for streaming movies, music, playing online games, conference calls, and other data-intensive services.
    OnePlus Phones & 5G Currently, the company has two 5G compatible phones in the market â OnePlus 7 Pro which was launched in the UK and US last year, and a special McLaren edition of the OnePlus 7T Pro. Apart from this, the next-gen phones - OnePlus 8, Oneplus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 Lite which are slated to launch in mid-April this year will be centred around 5G.
    The upcoming OnePlus 8 series will be equipped with Qualcomm's latest flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 865 and the Snapdragon X55 modem.

    â Android Authority (@AndroidAuth) December 7, 2019 With futuristic technology coming to our fingertips, itâs only natural to worry about soaring prices. But, while Pete Lau did mention that weâre likely to see a more expensive âProâ version, the regular OnePlus 8 will be manufactured at an affordable price with relatively modest tech specs.  
    Massive Investments In The 5G Sector True to its motto of âNever Settle,â the brand has been investing in 5G since 2016 now, and is working on developing application scenarios like cloud gaming, cloud videos, and cloud storage services which would be a big boon for tech-savvy customers of today. The OnePlus 5G labs are located in Taipei and Shenzhen where research is carried out in areas of radio frequency (RF) circuits, antennasâ¯and multi-media (camera, audio, and display). The labs also conduct software research for communication protocol, optimization, performance, power, stability and user scenario testing.

    â OnePlus (@oneplus) March 12, 2020 OnePlus is also conducting 5G testing efforts in the R&D center, Hyderabad, India, which was established last year.
    "âWeâve been investing in 5G for several years and we see this as the direction going forward and one weâre very much committed to", Lau said.
    One can look back and smile at the days when â5G compatible phonesâ were a far-fetched thought. Rumours are rife that OnePlus will roll out the 5G compatible â8 seriesâ around 16th April 2020. For regular updates on the same, visit the OnePlus community page.

    According to a media report earlier this week, the Board of Control for Cricket in India or the BCCI decided to not include former Indian cricketer and commentating veteran Sanjay Manjrekar in their commentary panel for the India-South Africa ODI series.
    Scheduled to take place from Match 12 in Dharamshala, the first of three 50-over games between the two sides got delayed and eventually cancelled due to rain. However, due to the ongoing crisis because of the outbreak of coronavirus , the entire series was declared cancelled.
    âWith the IPL being postponed, it only made sense that at this point of time, this series is also called off. The country is facing a serious pandemic,â

    India's three-match ODI series against South Africa won't go ahead. #INDvSA https://t.co/QeAi1MamsI
    â Circle of Cricket (@circleofcricket) March 13, 2020
    Manjrekar, who was called out for making multiple comments on international television as a commentary professional, finally took to Twitter to address the Indian cricket boardâs final say in not including him in the commentary panel on March 15.
    I have always considered commentary as a great privilege, but never an entitlement. It is up to my employers whether they choose to have me or not & I will always respect that. Maybe BCCI has not been happy with my performance of late. I accept that as a professional.
    â Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) March 15, 2020
    âI have always considered commentary as a great privilege, but never an entitlement. It is up to my employers whether they choose to have me or not & I will always respect that. Maybe BCCI has not been happy with my performance of late. I accept that as a professional,â read his tweet.
    With the Indian cricket team having a packed schedule in 2019 thanks to the back to back series against international teams and the ICC World Cup 2019, Manjrekar too had a very busy year. Consequently, a couple of remarks that he made during his tenure as the voice of Indian cricket, landed him in trouble at times.
    The most talked about comment that he had made in 2019 was calling Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja a âbits and pieces playerâ.
    "I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket. In Test matches, he is a pure bowler. But in 50-over cricket, I would rather have a batsman and a spinner," Manjrekar had said at the time of the World Cup.
    To this, Jadeja put out a tweet and called him out on the internet: 
    Still i have played twice the number of matches you have played and i m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea.@sanjaymanjrekar
    â Ravindrasinh jadeja (@imjadeja) July 3, 2019
    âStill i have played twice the number of matches you have played and i m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea. @sanjaymanjrekar,â he had tweeted. 
    After Jadeja played one of the biggest knocks of his career in Indiaâs semi-final loss to New Zealand, Manjrekar had to apologise to the cricketer. 
    "By bits 'n' pieces of sheer brilliance, he's ripped me apart on all fronts."@sanjaymanjrekar has something to say to @imjadeja after the all-rounder's fantastic performance against New Zealand.#INDvNZ | #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/i96h5bJWpE

    Majrekar also faced some heat after he knowingly or unknowingly downplayed Indian commentary legend Harsha Bhogleâs greatness behind the microphone during the first pink-ball Test match that both India and Bangladesh were playing at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
    Bhogle opined that the players must be asked for a review on the visibility of the pink-ball and if they struggled in sighting it. To which, Majrekar replied: "Only you need to ask Harsha, not us, who have played a fair bit of the game."

    â Flighted leggie (@flighted_leggie) November 24, 2019
    Eventually, Majrekar did ask for forgiveness for the way he behaved whilst the two professionals were live, catering to millions of people watching a historical night take shape. In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Majrekar said: âIt was wrong of me and it is what really bothers me I let my emotions get the better of me. Mostly being unprofessional and to an extent indecent as well. The first thing I did was to apologise to the producer that I was working with because it was wrong."
    And now, after what Majrekar considered 2019 to be the âworst yearâ of his career, he gets banished from the BCCI commentary panel.
    There were mixed reactions by the fans. 
    Some empathised with the man who just lost his job. 
    Some Twitter Handles Making fun of a guy who lost his Job !! This is Shameful. May be Sanjay Commentary is biased Sometimes...but you also know that he is one of top Commentators in our Country. And He is Also A great analyser of the beautiful game of cricket. #RESPECT

    Bet u never listen to ur own commentary. Worldwide commentators never voice negative views for their national teams. But whenever you were on air youâd say like â If Aus has to get back in the game they need to get Virat outâ bingo Virat will go back. Typical commentratorâs curse

    The coronavirus outbreak, across the world, is not an easy one to handle. After being declared as a global pandemic by WHO, a lot of people tested positive for it are kept in quarantine, in absolute isolation while they're seeking treatment. 

    Unfortunately though most of these people are ageing adults with weaker immune systems, who're frequently contracting the ailment and spending too much time in isolation, which is also a big social setback for them.
    © Twitter
    But we're just focusing on the statistical population going under quarantine here. It could honestly be any of us, and absolute isolated lockdown can play havoc with one's mental health because quarantine ensures limiting social contact to make sure the spread of the virus is curtailed. But that doesn't make it easy for the person who is also experiencing a bout of anxiety and loneliness caused due to immense depression while in an isolated lockdown, away from the world.

    Humans are social beings and even if we like our time alone, we're always bound to break free from that alone time and socialise to  refuel our existentialism. In this case though, a forced abandonment of social elements can lead to severe depression and make our mind go on a perpetual overdrive, with no other physical presence present to change our perspective even a little bit.
    A recent review of research, published in The Lancet, found that quarantine is linked with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, confusion, and anger, with some research suggesting these effects are long-lasting. Given that the coronavirus crisis is likely to be with us for some time, the mental health implications canât be dismissed.
    So, in case you find yourself in quarantine, some point in your life, here's what you can do, to avoid stressing on the fact that you're alone, or putting your mental health at stake, time and again.
    (1) Engage Yourself In  Some Form Of ActivityYes, there isn't any social contact so it's best to be your own social messiah for the time being and help yourself out of this mental blockade. Spend time doing things to keep yourself busy. It could be re-arranging furniture or getting involved in something more creative or artistic, like taking up painting as an activity. Music soothes the mind and soul so playing some good music, or listening to some interesting podcasts can help you through the tough times. Even taking up projects like re-arranging photographs or playing Sudoku keeps the mind healthy and active.

    (2) Speak To A Helpline As Often As PossibleA helpline that helps you deal with depression  and loneliness can be contacted and you can get all and enough aid from them. There are provisions made for mental health hotlines during Coronavirus and even if there isn't, you can find volunteers or someone from your social circle, including family to frequently talk to, so they know what's going on in your mind. Chinaâs National Health Commission released guidelines for psychological care during coronavirus and relocated mental health professionals to Wuhan, where the outbreak started, as reported by Bloomberg.
    (3) Call Out For CaregiversFor those who aren't in strict isolation can spend some time with caregivers who can help and support them through the isolation. Obviously proper precautions should be taken when coming into contact with someone in semi-isolation but to combat absolute loneliness, especially for  elderly folks, spending time with a caregiver for a few hours every day can really help.
    © Twitter
    (4) Definitely Spend Time ExercisingHappy endorphins are a must when you're feeling down and out and they can only be achieved if you exercise your body and keep your mind happy. Take up yoga or any indoor form of workout that you enjoy doing and religiously do it every day. Exercising is a foolproof way to feel better and re energise.

    The mental health implications of staying in isolation doesn't mean we shouldn't quarantine. Right now a health risk is the last thing we truly want. 

    Hence, it's important to recognise what coronavirus demands from us at the moment and adhere to complete safety guidelines and if you do experience mental health issues and bursts of loneliness, remember it's temporary and you can always reach out and practice self care and pass through this time in an easier manner.

    With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, measures, like washing your hands constantly (for at least 20 seconds) and using a hand sanitiser every twenty minutes, can be harmful to the skin. By constant washing of hands, and exposing hands to drying alcohol-based formulas we're exposing them to excessive drynessâand, in certain situations sore, cracked, and flaky skin. While using a hand cream may help temporarily, but you'll end up washing your hands again.
    London-based dermatologist Dr. Anjali Mahto understands the struggle. In fact, she took to Instagram to share advice for taking care of your hands when you're washing them constantly.
    View this post on Instagramð©ð¾ââï¸As Coronavirus fears continue to circulate and we see rising cases in the UK, it only makes sense to follow current recommendations surrounding the importance of hand hygiene and washing practices. However, repeated cleansing and use of alcohol gel has resulted in nearly all of my patients this week suffering with some degree of either excessive dryness or very active hand dermatitis (eczema).⣠***⣠Repeated use of soaps, detergents and alcohol gel are a common and important cause of what is known as irritant contact dermatitis. These products can damage proteins in the upper layer of our epidermis (stratum corneum), cause changes in the lipids or fats in our skin, prevent skin cells sticking together appropriately and reduce the water binding capacity of our skin. In extreme cases, changes may occur to our skin microbiome resulting in secondary bacterial infection (e.g. colonisation with bacteria such as Staphylococci).⣠⣠Clinically, the hands can become red, rough, scaly, dry, cracked, and fissured (where small cuts appear in the skin). You may feel the hands have a burning or tingling sensation or feel itchy and irritated. In severe cases the skin may become blistered, painful and form crusts. This problem can develop in anyone who is frequently washing their hands - which is probably all of us right now! Those at high risk often have a background of eczema already or work in an occupation which involves frequent hand washing (e.g. healthcare professionals) or exposure to chemicals or irritants (e.g. hairdressers, beauticians, agricultural workers).⣠***⣠Continued in comments ðð¾A post shared by (@anjalimahto)
    "Repeated use of soaps, detergents, and alcohol gel are a common and important cause of what is known as irritant contact dermatitis," Dr. Mahto wrote. "These products can damage proteins in the upper layer of our epidermis and cause changes in the fats in our skin. Clinically, the hands can become red, rough, scaly, dry, cracked, and fissured (where small cuts appear in the skin). You may feel the hands have a burning or tingling sensation or feel itchy and irritated. In severe cases, the skin may become blistered, painful, and form crusts. This problem can develop in anyone who is frequently washing their hands, which is probably all of us right now!"
    She further suggests that carrying a non-fragranced hand cream at all times and get into the habit of moisturising after washing can make a huge difference. This means that sweet fragranced ones are not going to help anymore. Fragrances can potentially worsen dermatitis. She recommends CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, and La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Hand Cream. You can find these creams online quite easily.
    Besides, just like sanitising your hands has become a ritual, moisturising is just another step that you need to make a mental note of, to save the skin on your hands from turning flaky.

    Staying at home with limited social activity is a shared reality for a lot of us today, courtesy the coronavirus pandemic, and we have to adhere to that regardless of whether we've voluntarily decided to stay at home or there isn't any another option. 
    With more corporates encouraging work from home by the day and cinemas, gyms, colleges shutting down, it looks like we'll be looking at weeks of social distancing. But what does social distancing even mean?
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC has shared a now-viral graph aimed at âflattening the curveâ amidst the coronavirus outbreak.
    1. A very short thread on the power of data graphics and scientific communication.

    Roughly a week ago, some very smart person* sat down, drew this graph, and saved lives.

    (*It's 2 AM. Without an economist subscription, I can't quickly discover whom. Maybe someone can help.) pic.twitter.com/eU71Eu60eS
    â Carl T. Bergstrom (@CT_Bergstrom) March 6, 2020According to the graph, self-quarantining can potentially have a huge impact on combating the spread of COVID-19. Limiting contact essentially lessens the rate of infection and more importantly decreases the rush at hospitals. In a developing country like India, where resources have always been limited and don't trickle down as effectively, an outbreak can potentially be a lot to handle. 

    Flattening the curve ensures that fewer people get sick so the hospitals have enough beds and resources to take care of the patients instead of an unfortunate situation wherein doctors have to choose between patients.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@jacquemus)So how do people practice social distancing? If you're able to work from home, then you should because a lot of people can't even consider this as an option. You'll have to cancel all your plans and instead stay at home. This is the time that you can use to do things like baking a cake, gaming or even reading that book that you've been meaning to read for months. While it may seem like a luxury at first, it's important to remember that social distancing is also a social responsibility.
    Instinctively, we all get alerted when someone sneezes these days, but besides that, it's also important to maintain a healthy five-feet distance.
    However, this in no way means that you're bound to your house. You can go for a walk or a bike ride, but again, whilst maintaining a safe distance. This is the time when subscription services like Milk daily, BB daily come in handy to even further limit grocery shopping trips. In general, wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitiser when unable to wash with soap and water.
    This may all seem strenuous and taxing, especially when you can't go out on dates, or go for swimming, or no hump days for that matter. But you should remember that all of this is temporary and social distancing, in fact, is a way to quicken the process of stopping the spread of the deadly virus. 
    But hey, we don't live in the times of Spanish Flu which means that there isn't much you're missing out on, courtesy the internet. So there are still ways you can make up for all the things you will be missing out on.

    Amid the Coronavirus outbreak, people have stripped down groceries from the shelves at the supermarkets in many countries. Not only this, but people are also standing in long queues to stock up weed just before the lockdown in the Netherlands. 

    Now, people in LA are standing in long queues and are buying guns to protect their families, in case, they run out of groceries and food supply.

    People across the places are coming up with a lot of different ways to fight coronavirus and some of the ways will make you question your existence in the damn world. Yes, quite really! 
    From the âGau Mutra Partyâ to singing âcorona bhajansâ, Indians have fed enough stupidity to people rather than making efforts to combat the pandemic.

    Some of the politicians have also proved that relying on utter stupidity is just another day in this country. The Union Minister of State Ramdas Athawale was earlier found chanting along with a group of people, âGo Corona! Corona Go!â 

    This was his way to fight coronavirus and now he has written a poem for the deadly virus. Don't believe us?

    We are home-bound in the present times and sometimes life can be gloomy, as social distancing is the best bet we have to save ourselves. So, in case, the only entertainment you have in life is a daily âgediâ with your friends, then here are six fresh Punjabi tracks we suggest you add to that list.

    1. Red EyesKaran Aujla fans are already blaring and dancing to his latest number. In case you still havenât, send it to that chick with billi eyes today.

    2. ShikariGurlez Akhtar is one Punabi singer who is giving many male colleagues a run for their money with her swag. This is her latest track, so add this to your list.

    3. Dolce  GabbanaItâs true that Punjabi singers are obsessed with their brands and sometimes go ahead and even make a whole song about it! Thatâs exactly what Karan Randhawa did with his latest track.

    4. Jee KardaThis song has been out for over a month now but surprisingly very few people know about it. Perfect song for those âcar-o-barâ nights with friends.

    5. Teri KhaamiyanIf you still have not discovered the Crossblade acoustic series then you are in for a treat. This is one beautiful Akhil number re-sung by him and Gurnazar to soothe our souls.

    6. Jatt RuleThe title of the song is self explanatory so just find it, stream it, and add it!

    Coronavirus or COVID-19 has terrorised the world due to the rate at which it is infecting people all over the world. What started out as a virus with the estimated death rate of 2%, has escalated to 3.8% with more than 1,70,000 people tested positive and over 6,500 deaths officially recorded.
    The highly contagious attribution the virus boasts of has led to almost all the major sporting events getting postponed to a later date or suspended indefinitely and the risk of catching it off of another person has kept the athletes away from stadiums and courts. All they can do in the name of fitness is only working out at home.
    Update
    We organised an informative and interactive session on raising awareness about #COVID19 for all our athletes and staff

    A team of doctors from Jindal Sanjeevani hospital spoke about the precautionary measures that can be taken amidst the pandemic. #CoronaVirusUpdate pic.twitter.com/3wPuH3b4V6
    â Inspire Institute of Sport (@IIS_Vijayanagar) March 13, 2020However, it is the mental impact of being in house-arrest that is becoming a major cause of worry for the athletes, especially those who have been working hard in preparing themselves to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

    We got in touch with the 2016 bronze medallist Sakshi Malik to talk about an athleteâs mindset in such times of doubt.
    âAs far as training is concerned, we are taking care of all the necessary precautions that are required to keep away from getting infected,â she says. âHowever, it is the uncertainty of camps and qualifying rounds that are affecting the athletes mentally more than physically," she adds.

    âPlayers from different sports had this mindset that we will go for qualifiers on certain dates and they had prepared and trained themselves accordingly. But now that the schedule has been disrupted and nothing has been decided, they have mentally become a little upset," says Sakshi.

    âThoughts of âhow will anybody get qualified, who will get the opportunityâ have flooded the athletesâ minds,â she adds.
    While other athletes such as Indian off-road and enduro motorcycle racer CS Santosh, and Chennaiyin FC midfielder, Anirudh Thapa donât have to worry about qualifying for the quadrennial tournament, they also feel the importance of taking Covid-19 seriously.
    âFortunately for me, I have the opportunity to live at BigRock Dirtpark and Iâm still able to do all the things that my professional life requires, that is riding and off the bike training,â says CS Santosh. âThe food is a bit harder as I have to drive into the nearest town to buy supplies but considering the situation, I am happy to be doing a fairly good job," he adds.

    âI'm quite sure that everyone should and is taking thorough precautions and quarantining themselves towards minimizing the virus,â says Anirudh Thapa. 

    âStaying fit is one of the many ways of staying immune to this. Exercise can be done anywhere as long as it's not in a public facility for the time being. Washing and sanitising, especially your hands is also another good way of avoiding the flu,â he adds.

    Even online gamers such as Ankit âV3NOMâ Panth, Indiaâs biggest CS:GO player, must take care of themselves and keep their working environment quarantined even though they donât have a lot of fieldwork, so to speak.

    âAs gamers we are also self-quarantining but it is comparatively easy for us as we just need our gaming desktop, gaming laptop or console with games on it,â Ankit says. âAs far as fitness is concerned, I have dumbbells and a resistance band at home to help me till gyms reopen.â

    âThe big tournaments in India mostly start from June, so I hope we find a solution to this virus till then. Stay home and keep playing and pray for those who are affected to be cured, is what I would urge my fellow gamers and fans," he adds.

    The one thing that skincare brands almost always have claimed to offer is the restoration of the moisture barrier of the skin. But have they been effective over the years in delivering the promise? Well, it really depends on whether you've found the product that works for you. But before we get into the nitty-gritty of it, we need to understand what a moisture barrier stands for.
    The skin's moisture barrier is exactly what it sounds likeâthe layer of the skin that helps retain moisture. Largely, the skin barrier consists of the epidermis and the hard, outermost layer called stratum corneum. Interestingly, the stratum corneum is a layer that sheds dead skin cells. Now, here's the thing, this layer is super important to the skin as it keeps all the hydration locked inside and protects the skin from all the dirt and the grime.
    If your skin looks and feels rough, dull, flaky, inflamed, red, and itchy, these are alarming red flags that suggest that your skin barrier is damaged. In fact, not drinking enough water or drinking too much alcohol or caffeine are also factors that lead to damaged skin. Environmental factors, like exposure to the harmful rays of the sun, can also be damaging. Not moisturizing enough can also damage your skin.
    How can the skin barrier be repaired? Here's how.

    Apply products that have ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and lactic acid, which is a humectant, meaning it actually increases the moisture content of the skin.

    LVMH, the French luxury conglomerate that operates major luxury brands like Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior has gone beyond money and is now prepping to produce hand sanitiser instead of the usual perfumes and cosmetic products this week.

    As we all know that there's a shortage of hand sanitisers due to short supply and high demand. But brands like LVMH are taking an initiative to produce disinfectant gel in large quantities and donate the same to the French Health Authorities and the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris which is the largest hospital system in Europe.

    It is anticipated that LVMH will be making around 12 tons of hand sanitisers and would continue the same as long as it is required. The company made a statement and clearly said that this initiative will help address the lack of products available in the market currently and it shall enable a greater number of people to take right actions against Covid-19.

    Speaking of France's current position, around 3,600 cases of people getting affected by coronavirus have been registered.

    This global crisis seems to be escalating at a faster pace. To help mitigate the spread of this virus, an initiative like this one was much needed. Given how quickly it is escalating, it is affecting the health system and also the supply of essential items in the market. It is good to see that luxury fashion brands are invested in helping during such dreadful times.

    Not just LVMH, even other brands from the fashion industry are coming forward to combat the spread of this outbreak in whatever way they can.

    The creepiness of horror mixed with the adrenaline rush of predicting a human wiping disaster, some apocalyptic movies really shook our panicked minds. While we donât recommend these movies for cozy date night, but if watching an âend-of-the-worldâ movie will give you any thrill, then here are 8 movies you should watch before the world ends.
    1. 2012A movie based on a long forgotten prediction that the world was supposed to end in 2012. The film follows the struggles of a few survivors who manage to escape the wrath that is let loose on the planet and everything starts to demolish on this planet. 

    2. The Wandering EarthOne of the highest grossing movies of 2019 and made in China follows a scary premise where the Sun has legit died and fizzled out as the humans on Earth try to move the planetâs orbit in a new star system. As scientists physically try to move the planet, a collision with Jupiter is something they need to be aware of. 

    3. World War ZThis apocalyptic action horror movie follows a former UN employee who is racing against time to investigate a virus that is converting humans into zombies. 

    4. The Day After TomorrowThis disaster film explains how the world will look like if we are pushed into a millennial ice age, courtesy the global warming. An ice storm is taking over the planet and a paleoclimatologist (yeah it is a term) is fighting with time and disaster to save his son. 

    5. LegionAnyone with a penchant for Biblical representations will like this one. This apocalyptic fantasy horror film follows a group of strangers dining at a diner getting stuck with the demon. There is an Archangel Michael who wants to save the planet and a war follows. 

    6. The Quiet EarthThis dark film follows a suicide survivor who wakes up to realise humans have vanished from the planet as a result of the energy project he was working on. He eventually finds two more survivors and discovers a common link between the three people.

    7. MelancholiaA very intense drama that will touch your mind and heart in equal measure. The movie follows the life of a woman (played by Kirten Dunst) who realises her wedding reception is ruined when a planet named âMelancholiaâ is scheduled to collide with Earth. The movie streamlines the plot of the world ending with chronic depression as one of the main themes. 

    8. 12 MonkeysA time travelling apocalyptic movie which follows a scavenger in 2043 who needs to travel back in 2015 and ensure the contagion of a deadly virus is stopped at all costs. His mission includes destroying an army of 12 monkeys who carried the virus in the first place.

    As the coronavirus numbers rise every day the entire country is in a panic mode and to be honest, panic at this moment will certainly not help to fight this virus. It's like a normal cough and flu, which lasts a tad bit longer and goes away with proper treatment. Don't believe us? Well, a 45-year-old Delhi resident, the first person who was detected with coronavirus, tells us about his experience and we're glad he got the much needed medical attention at that point in time.

    According to this 45-year old businessman, if you're a healthy human being then recovery for the virus is not very difficult. The man was the first to be diagnosed and recover from the infection with the help of reassuring and competent doctors, who made sure his road to recovery was as smooth as possible. 

    He praised the facilities provided to him at Safdarjung Hospital, while he urged everyone not to panic and take proper precaution instead.
    "There is no need to be scared. It is just like normal flu. If a healthy person reaches the doctor, our health system is well-equipped, one of the best in the world. Isolation ward is not like a two-by-two cell without sunlight," the man told another popular publication in an exclusive interview.

    He narrated his incident of spending time in the hospital, and being treated with care, and being one of the two patients who were released last week, to spend 14 days in isolation at home, recovering.

    "I returned from Europe on February 25 and I had fever the next day. I went to a doctor who told me it was a throat infection. He gave me medicine for three days. I recovered on 28th but I again had fever on 29th so I went to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. On March 1, I tested positive," he added.
    "Honestly, it was difficult only till the time they had not told me I was positive. But when a team of doctors came to see me at Safdarjung the next day where I had been shifted, they made me so comfortable saying 'it is curable, you are a healthy person and it is just cold and cough and it would just go. It just takes a little more time than the usual cold and cough'," he said.
    Adding to that, the Delhi man said, "I am not a doctor but it was little different than the usual cold and cough. I was at an isolation ward at Safdarjung that the government of India has created for this. The facilities were very good, it was among the best I have seen, even including private hospitals. I had a private room with a bathroom."

    The Delhi businessman was among the first seven cases reported in the city, however, unfortunately one of the patients died from it as well. 

    While treatment is becoming a bit of a task in most cities of India, currently Maharashtra and Kerala have the highest number of reported cases so far and the disease that originated from Wuhan, China has killed about 6,000 people globally.
    But we can all be a bit more pre-emptive where taking precautions is concerned and individually make an effort to fight the disease. We're sure it's been reiterated enough but taking certain precautions like washing hands within an hourly interval for 20 seconds is very important. 
    Staying away from crowded areas such as malls, protests sites, parties etc is a must right now. Staying at home and in isolation is the best precautionary measure and we should all do this and wait it out, till the spread dies down naturally.

    Coronavirus is still spreading at a rapid pace with more and more new cases popping up every day. The outbreak is affecting our lives in more ways than one. From transport and technology to healthcare, every major sector has taken a hit, causing problems everywhere.
    One of the biggest and probably the most crucial issues has been the lack of medical supplies to treat the patients. We recently came across a story like this in which a hospital in Italy was unable to provide the medical aid required to treat its patients.

    When you have hundreds of cases showing up on your doorstep, you got to make sure that you have enough resources and medical aid to take them in and help them fight through this. One of the only ways to save lives at this point is to have as many 'resuscitation' machines as possible.

    For those of you who don't know, 'resuscitation' ('reanimation' in Italian) machine is a part of the equipment found in an intensive care unit that used to cure a patient's inability to breathe properly. These aren't the kinds of machines that are made to treat a lot of patients at a given time, hence they come with a limited supply of valves that are used to treat the patients.
    One of the hospitals in Brescia, one of the hardest-hit regions for coronavirus infections, urgently needed valves for an ICU device. However, there was a supply-demand gap that couldn't be filled on time.
    © 3D Printing Media Network
    As noted by the folks over at the 3D printing Network Media, running out of the valves would have been dramatic and some people may have lost their lives. So the hospital started coordinating with a bunch of companies, trying to figure out a way to 3D print them.

    A company called Isinnova showed up to the hospital with a 3D printer and produced the required valves in just a few hours. Who would've thought that 3D printers can come in handy at such an occasion, right?

    The valves are now actively being 3D printed in huge numbers to curb the shortage of supply. This is one of those cases which makes us feel a little positive about the whole situation which otherwise seems to be getting out of hands by each passing day.

    We hope all of you reading this story are safely isolated at homes, away from crowded locations. It's only a matter of time until we hear some news about a vaccine to contain the spread. Stay safe, everyone.

    As irksome as this one sounds, in reality, applying juice of highly aromatic home items can easily curb the issue of hair fall, in lesser time. Rub any of these juices on your hair and leave it overnight so your scalp absorbs it all. You will see a noticeable difference when you follow this home remedy regularly.

    3. Say No To Hot Showers © Getty Images
    Yes, undoubtedly, hot showers are relaxing and quite tempting as well but to be honest, it is not favourable for your hair. Irrespective of the season, hot showers can strip off the natural oils from your hair. This is also one of the reasons why there's hair fall. Use lukewarm or cold water as it will lessen the chances of any damage to your hair.

    4. Wash Your Hair With Green Tea © Getty Images
    If you are fretting over the ever-expanding forehead of yours, relying on green tea is another simple way in which you can prevent it. How, you ask? It has various nutrients in it like panthenol and theanine with unique amino acid, that can help your follicles feel stronger.

    Make green tea like you would and instead of drinking it, let it cool down and use it for your hair as a rinse. Keep it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off with a regular shampoo. Additionally, it also helps fight dandruff. Sounds easy, right?
