Published by Webster

Fear grips a Gorakhpur village after nearly 150 locals consumed `panchamrit` prepared from the raw milk of a cow that later tested positive for rabies, officials said on Tuesday. The episode unfolded in Ramdih village in the Uruwa block, some 40 km from the district headquarters. Uruwa primary health centre in-charge Dr J P Tiwari said around 160 villagers have so far been administered two doses each of the anti-rabies vaccine, with the next dose scheduled on the seventh day. “There is no established research that shows rabies can be transmitted to humans through the milk of an infected cow. However, as a precaution, we have advised vaccination,” he said. The milk was used in a ritual performed by villagers Rajeev Gaur and Sonu Vishwakarma.

According to villagers, the cow belonged to Dharmendra Gaur and had been bitten by a stray dog nearly three months ago. Chief Medical Officer Dr Rajesh Jha said the situation remains under watch.

The first episode of The Last of Us season 2 introduces the ‘Stalker’ – one of the most disturbing forms of the infected yet. Unlike the ‘Runners,’ who recklessly charge at prey, or the ‘Clickers,’ who rely on echolocation (locating objects by reflected sound) due to their blindness, the Stalkers take it up a notch by mixing stealth, speed, and strategic movement. In the season premiere, Ellie’s face-off with a Stalker in an abandoned supermarket reveals how different this infected type is – quiet, scheming, and capable of hiding and striking with precision. In the first episode of The Last of Us season 2, viewers encounter the Stalker, a stealthy infected that combines speed and strategic behaviour.

Published by Webster

Rishi Sunak called findings of long-awaited report “a day of shame for British state”. London, United Kingdom: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday apologised to thousands of people infected with contaminated blood in a decades-long scandal that a damning report concluded was covered up and largely could have been avoided. More than 30,000 people were infected with viruses such as HIV and hepatitis after being given the tainted blood in Britain between the 1970s and early 1990s, the Infected Blood Inquiry concluded. Victims included those needing blood transfusions for accidents and in surgery, and those suffering from blood disorders such as haemophilia who were treated with donated blood plasma products, as well as the partners of those infected. Some 3,000 people died, and more will follow, in what has been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the eight-decade history of the state-run National Health Service (NHS). “I am truly sorry,” Sunak told the House of Commons, calling the findings of the long-awaited report “a day of shame for the British state”. “Time and …
