    Itâs official - India has begun to move swiftly to manage the recent nCoV2019 Coronavirus outbreak from China, as a medical student from Wuhan university has been placed under quarantine in Kerala.
    Meanwhile, Indians in Wuhan breathe a sigh of relief through their facemasks as Air India has sent a special pair of flights to help evacuate Indians from the city. China's National Health Commission, in its daily report, said that out of 7,711 people infected with the virus, 1,370 patients were critical and 12,167 under observation for suspected infection. But around 89,000 people have been in close contact with patients, so far - while the city itself houses some 11 million-odd people.

    But what exactly is the Coronavirus, and how does it manifest itself in human patients? Letâs take a closer look.

    Under The Microscope

    Coronaviradae, as theyâre medically called, refers to a family of viruses that affects mammals and birds - previous outbreaks such as SARS and MERS are also members of this group. âCoronaâ, which means âcrownâ in Latin, was chosen in their nomenclature due to the petal-like projections on their surface - these, when viewed on an electron microscope cause a visual effect that resembles the âsolar coronaâ - a halo of light that can be seen during solar eclipses.

    The way a coronavirus attacks a cell is pretty dependent on these projections as well. Depending on the genetic code of the virus, these projections act as a sort of âkeyâ - being able to break into a target cell. Once inside, they hijack the cell's functional parts, using it to create more coronaviruses  - usually killing the cell in the process and infecting the organism it belonged to.
    Fortunately, our immune system IS pretty vigilant, and as it detects cell death due to the virus, it will begin to mount an immune response - these will show up as pretty common flu-like symptoms such as sneezing, coughs, sore throats, fevers and body aches.



    The fevers raise your body temperature to make the virusâ environment more inhospitable, while phlegm and runny noses help flush out dead cells and make the virus less likely to keep infecting you.

    While your body is usually capable of handling the Coronavirus through a combination of your own immune system and basic medical attention, what if your immune system isnât doing so good?

    As the graph above shows, the virus has been far more lethal towards the elderly. As we grow older, our immune systems become compromised. The body slows down and loses some of its speed and efficacy at fighting off invaders.

    In the case of those with weaker immune systems, the body might go into overdrive after detecting the virus too late. In severe cases, this leads to an excess of white blood cells, which in turn results in a variety of chemical responses in the body, which can finally lead to fluid leaking into the lungs - a condition known as pulmonary oedema.

    Caption: An X-Ray showing a case of pulmonary oedema - notice how the left lung is suffocated.
    Once the lungs are choked, oxygen levels in blood drop, and this can lead to organ failure. This can also cascade into further infections and complications, and if not resolved, possibly death. 

    While this all might sound scary, doctors and medical professionals assure us that while the elderly are at risk, the death toll of this virus is relatively low, and it can be effectively managed. 

    As the virus currently has no vaccine, itâs important to keep conscious about personal hygiene, and rely on useful measures such as hand sanitisers and regular checkups to keep ahead of the epidemic.

    Hundreds of people have fallen prey to the deadly coronavirus outbreak in China. What erupted from the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province in December last year, has since affected over 6,000 people and continues to spread to more parts of the country and even overseas.

    People in the country have been asked to take immediate protection against the virus by wearing protective masks while venturing out. As frantic citizens try to get their hands on masks to protect themselves in public, many citizens have come up with innovative or jugaadu masks to aid the cause.

    Social media is replete with images of people using bras, sanitary pads and even fruits skins as face masks. Many people are even using plastic bags and water bottles to cover their faces while out in the open.

    With the rising death toll in China, more and more people are trying to access protective gear and since nobody wants to take any chances, people have taken it upon themselves to protect their lives and those of their loved ones.

    © Twitter
    As per initial reports, the coronavirus spreads when an infected person sneezes or coughs. And though it might take anywhere between 4 to 14 days for the symptoms to surface, people have been advised to take precautions in crowded and public places.

    Check out some innovative masks people have come up with here:

    Meanwhile, India got its first confirmed case of the virus, which has now been declared as a global health emergency by the WHO.

    The positive case has been detected in Kerala's Thrissur district and the patient has been kept in an isolation ward while the number of people under observation in the state rose to 1,053.

    It's a fact that no superhero can ever be made without CGI and special effects, quite understandably. But, sometimes you learn that a few scenes, that actually look like it took a lot of editing and effects to happen, were achieved by the actors on their own.

    Even though it's not Thursday, we still have a throwback and it's about the OG Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire.

    Remember this little scene?

    He manages to hold Kristen Dunst with one hand while also catching everything in her lunch tray after its contents go flying in the air. 

    Looks almost impossible to do for real, right? Well, it actually almost was, as Tobey did manage to do this on his own, just took a lot of tries, but that's okay.


    It's surprising that it's not CGI like almost the rest of the movie, but Tobey did do this 'stunt' on his own and it only took him 156 tries. Honestly, not that bad.

    Talking about the scene, special effects artist John Dykstra said, "This gag when he catches all this stuff, he actually did that⦠take 156!"


    Even Kristen Dunst revealed what the trick actually was - "No CGI, thatâs all Tobey, they put sticky glue stuff to stick his hand to the tray."

    Yes, this is old news, but there still might be people who didn't know this, so why not share such an interesting movie fact?

    OnePlus smartphones are slowly becoming the premium Android smartphone that everybody loves. While OnePlus smartphones have almost all the bells and whistles of a premium smartphone, it still lacks one major feature that is present on almost every flagship device. 

    Wireless charging on OnePlus smartphones has always been the most requested feature by fans and critics alike and it seems like the Chinese company is finally looking to fulfil those requests. 

    © Youtube/Gheorghe Daniel
    In a previous rumour, OnePlus 8 Pro was rumoured to feature the said feature, however, the company may have just dropped a huge hint this week. 

    OnePlus joined the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the standard that regulates Qi wireless charging used by smartphones. MobileScout spotted OnePlus joining the consortium and it means that OnePlus is definitely looking to include wireless charging on future devices. 
    © Samsung
    While wireless charging is a slower method to charge smartphones but is very convenient. Personally, I use it on the nightstand for charging my iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Galaxy Note 10+ overnight. 

    OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has previously been unsure about wireless charging as it is too slow, however, when charging overnight, we really donât need those faster-charging speeds. 
    © BCCL
    However, OnePlus joining the Wireless Power Consortium only reassures the possibility that the OnePlus 8 Pro could, in fact, come with the feature as previously reported. Granted that wireless charging increases the cost of manufacturing of the smartphone and we could only see it as a feature on the more expensive Pro models. 

    Having said that, it is exciting to see that we may one day have a OnePlus smartphone that will support wireless charging. It is also possible that reverse wireless charging may also be a significant feature that can be used to charge accessories such as smartwatches and wireless earbuds.

    When it comes to smartwatches, the Apple Watch is leading the race in the wearable space. However, OPPO has been wanting to launch a smartwatch of their own and today we got to see our very first glimpse of the Chinese companyâs smartwatch. 

    Vice President for OPPO shared an image of the first render that the company will be launching soon. Whatâs striking is that you may have mistaken it for the Apple Watch. 

    The image was shared on Chinese social media website Weibo and we get a clear look at the upcoming smartwatch.

    © MensXP
    From afar, the smartwatch looks awfully similar to the Apple Watch Series 4 or 5 as it has the same curved edges and even has an identical watch face used in marketing materials. If you look closely at the strap, it looks similar to the silicone strap you get with the Apple Watch. 

    © OPPO/Weibo
    However, there is one slight difference in OPPOâs smartwatch from the Apple Watch, instead of the digital crown on the right side of the smartwatch, it has been substituted with another button. We can only see one side of the smartwatch so it isnât entirely sure whether OPPOâs smartwatch uses a digital crown as well on the other side of the chassis. 

    If you look closely, there is a hole between the buttons that might be for a microphone. This microphone can be used for talking over calls however we donât know whether the watch will be capable of supporting independent LTE connections like the Apple Watch. 

    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    There is a good chance that OPPO might unveil the smartwatch at Mobile World Conference that is set to take place in a few weeks. It could be possible that the smartwatch will be available to buy on March 6th as the render says 'Fri 06' and the next Friday to fall of the sixth of the month is in March. 

    What do you think of OPPOâs new smartwatch? Do you think it resembles the Apple Watch too much? Let us know in the comments below.

    In another disappointing episode by the Delhi Police, an auto driver was penalised Rs 10,000 on January 15, for a poster that read 'I love Kejriwal' behind his auto-rickshaw. On January 28, the Delhi High Court sought the response of Aam Aadmi Party government, the police and the Election Commission, following the petition challenging the hefty fine that was levied on the auto-rickshaw driver.
    © Twitter
    Rajesh, the auto driver, on January 15, was travelling from Kalindi Kunj towards Apollo hospital, when he was stopped by traffic cops and was interrogated for the poster. He stuck to the claim that no one had paid him money to put up the poster and he'd put it up upon his own volition. Despite his constant requests, the traffic cops fined Rajesh, following which he filed the petition. He claimed in the petition that his fundamental rights were violated.

    After this incident took place, the Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal accused the Bhartiya Janta Party for targeting poor auto drivers, through a Tweet.
    The tweet is in Hindi and this is what he wrote:
    "The BJP through its police is targeting poor auto drivers using false challans. His only mistake is that he has written 'I love Kejriwal'. Such resentment against the poor is not right. I appeal to the BJP to stop taking revenge against the poor."

    â Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) January 28, 2020

    The lawyer representing the government and the police sought some time from court to understand why Rajesh was fined in the first place, wanting to file a status report on the matter. The Election Commission Council stated that he may have been fined on the grounds of alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct. The case will be heard next on March 3.

    © Twitter
    While we look at this a little more microscopically, we realise the police have actually challenged Rajesh's fundamental rights to practice expression freely and that is very problematic, to say the least. We truly hope the case sees the light of day, with an apt judgement. Meanwhile, here's what people are saying regarding the 'unlawful' fine imposed on Rajesh the auto driver:

    An Auto rickshaw driver fined INR 10,000 by Delhi Traffic Police for "I love Kejriwal" written on his auto.

    With every new year that comes and goes, there is one thing that never seems to change. No, we donât mean the government, you fool. Itâs our shared love and subconscious dependency on all things Bollywood.

    It has become a recurrent event, one where we not only look forward to, but also think of making plans around movie releases which seem to hold potential. And that does not necessarily depend on just the plot or trailer, but a lot of it stems from the level of attraction and sense of loyalty we feel towards certain Bollywood stars who come to make all the difference.
    2020 is going to be no different because a number of really exciting movies by leading Bollywood A-listers are lined up throughout the year which hold the promise to be totally paisa-wasool.
    Here are eight such movies weâre rooting for.

    The third installment of Rohit Shettyâs mega successful cop universe, Sooryavanshi will see Akshay Kumar playing the lead opposite Katrina Kaif, and thatâs a promising pairing right there. After Bajirao Singham and Sangram Simmba Bhalerao, we sure have high hopes from DCP Veer Sooryavanshi.

    Another multi-starrer that is set to greet our screens in 2020, the Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer fantasy-adventure drama will be the first installment of the trilogy. Brahmastra also stars biggies like Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Dimple Kapadia and Mouni Roy among others in pivotal roles.

    When Aamir Khan announced that he is all set to star in the Bollywood remake of the Hollywood classic movie Forrest Gump, we didnât know if we were ready to welcome Laal Singh Chaddha. However, given Aamirâs past record (barring Thugs Of Hindostan, of course) people are pinning a lot of hopes on this remake.

    Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb is going to be yet another remake of a successful south Indian film titled Kanchana. Kiara Advani will be playing the female lead, and given the stellar posters of the film, people are really expecting an explosive performance from Akshay.

    The Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lamahas suggested the Chinese to chant âTaara mantraâ to stop Coronavirus from spreading.

    Recently, a group of Chinese devotees had requested Dalai Lama for his advice on Facebook for the life-taking virus called the âCoronavirusâ in Wuhan. To which he advised the Chinese followers and the Buddhist monasteries across China to chant the mantra, as according to him, it will help in containing the epidemic from spreading.
    © BCCL
    He suggested that people impacted by the virus should chant âOm tare tuttare ture Sohaâ and will help in maintaining peace of mind and also enable them to push away all the worries.

    The death toll in China has crossed 130 people in China and it is only increasing every day.

    According to TOI, 1300 new cases of the virus have been reported in the past twenty-four hours. Coronavirus includes viruses that lead to illnesses like common cold to respiratory syndromes.
    India is one of the 30 countries that have the risk of the virus spreading due to frequent air travellers whoâll commute from China to India.
    Researchers from the University of Southampton compiled a list of countries that are on a high risk. According to the researchers, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, the US & UK are other countries that are on âhigh riskâ list apart from India.

    Ever since the CAA and NRC were announced in India by the Government, the nation has been witnessing a state of turbulence, finding itself divided into two ideologies - one that supports it and the other that totally shuns it.

    Just recently, comedian Jaaved Jaaferi shared a piece of news on social media that talked of a resolution moved in Europe against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

    Sports and politics have found a new benchmark as many prominent sports personalities have joined political parties over the years. We have an array of sportsmen and women who've joined politics, some who're still actively playing sports and the rest who've retired. Politics, I believe, is the best way to set a precedence for the future generations who look up to sports personalities to get ample inspiration. 

    If the personalities can make a difference towards the infrastructure of sports in the country, even if it's minuscule, by joining politics then their job is basically done. That's why there have been a lot of sports stars who've entered politics and led their constituencies fairly.
    #WATCH Badminton Player Saina Nehwal on joining BJP: The way Prime Minister works day & night, I like it very much. I like doing something for the country & BJP is a party that is doing good work for the country, I am happy to have joined the party. pic.twitter.com/q8oHcemoLh
    â ANI (@ANI) January 29, 2020

    In fact, Saina Nehwal, India's ace badminton player, joined the BJP on Wednesday days ahead of the assembly elections to be held on February 8 in Delhi. Obviously, her joining the BJP is a major acquisition for the party but she would not stop playing badminton, regardless.

    Here are six sports personalities who've joined politics over the years
    (1) Saina Nehwal- Joined the BJP in January 2020Sainaâs formal induction into the party was announced at a press conference in Delhi on  January 29. As we all know, the Olympic bronze medallist is one of the most successful athletes in the country, who can do a lot for the sports fraternity here. She announced that she would be playing badminton and doing work for the party, simultaneously.
    "Today I have joined a party that has done a lot for the country. I hope to do a lot of good work," Saina said on the occasion.
    We just wish her immense luck and hope she does well, in whatever sphere she chooses to work in.

    (3)Mohd. Azharuddin- Joined the Indian National Congress in February 2009One of the best fielders of his time, Azhar's cricketing career was cut short due to match fixing allegations. Azhar then joined Congress and won the 2009 Indian general elections from Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, to become the member of Parliament of India. In September 2019, Azharuddin was selected as the President of the Hyderabad Cricket Association and also holds the position of a working President of Telengana Pradesh Congress Committee.

    (5)  Kirti Azad- Joined The Indian National Congress in February 2019Former test cricketer and a part of the 1983 Cricket World Cup squad, Kirti's cricket career was short lived. Although his stint in politics was way better than his cricket career and that was also because his father, Bhagwas Jha Azad, was Bihar's then chief minister. He won the Lok Sabha elections for Darbhanga, his hometown, in Bihar and was elected to parliament on a BJP ticket. In 2019, he joined Congress. When he fought the general elections from Dhanbad Lok Sabha constituency in 2019, he lost with a margin of 4.8 lakh, against BJP candidate Pashupati Nath Singh.

    You know how the saying goes that follow what your heart desires and everything shall follow? Looks like actor/comedian and now a soon-to-be Marvel hero Kumail Nanjiani has struck gold in life and how. He shook his entire fanbase and the world when he got insanely jacked recently for his upcoming outing in Eternals and surprised everyone with his new found hot body. Seems like his desires followed him in life!

    View this post on InstagramI never thought Iâd be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but Iâve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvelâs Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didnât have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. Iâm glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise Iâll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.)

    Turns out that it was not just a stellar female fan base that he had established but also caught the attention of the people at Pornhub who decided to use his picture for the âmuscular menâ category. Yeah it was no joke or photohshopped and it legit surprised Kumail himself as well.
    View this post on InstagramItâs been a weird couple of days... This is NOT photoshopped. Pornhub changed their picture of the Muscular Men category to... me. As I said, weird couple of days.A post shared by (@kumailn)
    So turns out that setting him as bait for thirst trap on the website kind of worked for Pornhub and hence the website decided to give the actor a free premium subscription for 10 years! Yeah bro, this is one token of thanks which sets the bar too high for anyone wondering how to thank their bro.


    "Free porn is good, but when you go to premium! I can develop fetishes â crazy ones â over the next 10 years, and I know I'll be taken care of. There's a lot," he revealed in his interview. Well, if this is not your motivation to hit the gym and become a âsakht laundaâ of your own dreams, then what else will make you leave that bed, bro?

    Indian cricket has witnessed numerous batsmen who have managed to capture the imagination of cricket fans over the years. But, in  modern-day cricket, no one even comes close to the might and popularity of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who continue to help India pull off miracles on the field.

    While Kohli has carved his niche as one of the most consistent run-scorers in international cricket, Rohit has earned plaudits for his knack of scoring big runs in dire situations. The Indian duo was at their prolific best, hammering opposition bowlers all around the park, during their team's dominating home season last year. And, it appears that there is no stopping these two this year either.

    During his innings that came at a strike rate of over 140, Kohli became India's leading run-getter in the shortest version of the game. The right-handed batsman was 25 runs away from the milestone before the start of the third game. As he completed his 25th run, Kohli surpassed his predecessor MS Dhoni's tally of 1,112 runs to achieve the feat.

    When it comes to the overall list, Kohli now finds himself at the third spot with a tally of 1,125 runs as captain. He is only behind South Africa's Faf du Plessis (1,273 runs) and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (1,148 runs) who currently occupy the second and first spot in the coveted list.

    On the day, when Kohli etched his name in the history books for a milestone that will take some doing, Rohit impressed everyone by stepping up at a time when India needed it the most. While he might not be as consistent as one would like, there is no denying the batting talent this incredible right-hander brings to the table.

    Often labelled as one of the best batsmen in modern-day cricket, Virat Kohli clearly needs no introduction to the gentleman's game. His textbook strokes and ability to deliver consistent performances have not only aided Team India in dire situations but also saw him establishing himself as one of the greats at just the age of 31.

    The Delhi lad looked in ominous form last year, hammering the opposition to all parts of the ground during India's dominant home season. Carrying his fine form this year, his batting masterclass was key to India's success against Australia during their 2-1 win in the three-match ODI series.

    Even as India travelled to New Zealand for their next assignment, there seems to be no stopping to Kohli's artistry with the willow. His brilliant knock of 45 runs played a key role in India's six-wicket triumph in the first T20I at Eden Park. And, even as he missed out in the second match, Kohli continued his carnage in the third T20I.

    It's no secret that a great beard with an amazing hairstyle can completely change your overall aesthetic. Whether you like to keep it thick or maintain a stubble, beard adds a great dimension to your hairstyle.
    Just by considering a few elements while pairing your beard and hairstyle, you can get the right combination for yourself. Check it out.
    1. Short Hair With Short Beard © Instagram/Ayushmann Khurrana
    A perfect way to add symmetry to your short hair is by dovetailing a short beard with it. The aesthetic is very minimal and you cannot ever go wrong with this style. Trim your beard and it will do the trick. This is one of the combinations that's a no brainer and hardly takes any time. 

    2. Full Moustache & Short Beard © Istock
    Every guy's hair and beard grow differently. You might have worked a thick beard in the past with a thin moustache. Now, when you have short hair, you can reverse it too. A light fade beard style  with a seamless thick moustache looks undeniably fashionable.

    3. Unkempt Hair With Full Beard © Istock
    The I-woke-up-like-this look can show some amazing results with a luscious beard. Let your short hair look unkempt as it creates an illusion of volume and adds more charm to your beard. If the growth goes out of control, a quick trim is a good idea. For a messy appearance, run your fingers on your hair and get a fluffy effect.

    4. Neat Side Part With Stubble © Istock
    Stubble is easy to maintain and it complements well with a side part hairstyle. It looks groomed and gives a really good impression. This one is also the best combination that you can pull off effortlessly for work hours or a boardroom meeting. For someone, who can't grow a full beard, the pairing makes it all even. 

    5. Buzz Cut & Thick Beard © Istock
    A buzz cut is yet another short hairstyle that has been on the radar. With this cut, you can go all-in with your beard by growing a thick one. The volume balances out the overall appearance. The grown-out beard also lets you save time from shaving. For a badass look, this one is the way to go. 

    6. Short Hair & Goatee © Istock
    Less effort and more on style, a goatee has continued to be one of the favourite trends. This style instantly adds more suaveness to your short hair. The combination is quite artistic and funky as this short beard is a bit different than the usual ones you see. For more brownie points, make sure to trim it evenly.
