Discovery of new human kind of species in China

       Scientists reported on Friday that a gigantic fossilized skull dating back at least 140,000 years has been identified as a new species of ancient human, a discovery that could redefine how — and even where — our species, Homo sapiens, originated.      The skull of an adult guy with a large brain, gigantic brow ridges, deep-set eyes, and a bulbous nose was discovered. After a labourer discovered it at a building site in China, it had been hidden in an abandoned well for 85 years.      The new species was given the name Homo longi, and the nickname "Dragon Man" was given to it after the Dragon River region of northeast China, where the skull was discovered.      According to the researchers, Homo longi, not Neanderthals, was the most closely linked extinct human species to our own. If validated, it would affect how scientists see Homo sapiens' origins, which have been built up over time through fossil finds and ancien...

Tax breaks for Covid-19 treatment/death; Tamil Nadu extends lockdown till July 5 with some exceptions

     With the implementation of a new vaccination policy on June 21, India's immunization campaign has picked up steam. Over 30.79 crore people have been vaccinated against Coronavirus in India thus far. On Wednesday, 64.89 lakh vaccination doses were given out, followed by almost 53 lakh on Tuesday and an all-time high of 88 lakh on Monday. By the end of the year, India hopes to have vaccinated everyone over the age of 18. Will India be able to vaccinate in time to avoid the next wave? Experts are divided on whether the current wave of vaccinations can be sustained.

    For the previous three days, India has reported roughly 50,000 new Covid-19 cases. The fatality rate and positive rate for Covid-19 have both decreased dramatically. On Thursday, the recovery rate increased to 96.61 percent. According to data from the Health Ministry on Friday, India recorded 51,667 new Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases to 3,01,34,445. The death toll from Covid-19 has risen to 3,93,310, with 1,329 more people succumbing to the illness in a single day. The number of active Covid-19 infections has dropped to 6,12,868 cases, accounting for 2.03 percent of all infections. The weekly positive rate has likewise dropped to 3%. Several nations have begun to unlock as the Covid-19 situation has improved. Few states/UTs have chosen to loosen Covid regulations rather than fully unlock, despite health experts' warnings of a potential third wave if proper Covid-19 behavior is not followed.

COVID treatment for employees is exempt from taxes.

    The government announced on Friday that an employer's payment to employees for COVID-19 treatment will be tax-free. Ex-gratia payments received from an employer by family members in the event of an employee's death owing to COVID-19 would also be tax-free.

    The appearance of the Delta Plus variant added to the concern. According to health specialists, the Delta Plus variety, which has been designated as a "variant of concern" by the health ministry, should be treated with caution rather than panic because its virulence and transmissibility are still being examined. A mutation in the Delta or B.1.617.2 variety, initially found in India and one of the causes of the catastrophic second wave, has given rise to the new Delta Plus variant. India has so far documented 50 cases of the Delta Plus variety, the most of which are in Maharashtra, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh. This viral strain, also known as AY.1, has been found in nine different countries, with 205 infections across Europe, North America, and Asia.
