The World was not able to recover with the Pandemic Coronavirus, the state media of China (The Global Times)

    • rodent urine
    • feces
    • saliva
    • airborne particles containing these excretions. 

No Person To Person Spread.

One Nation, One Election. Pros and Cons

What is One Nation, One Election?  One Nation, One Election  is a proposal under consideration by the Government  to arrange elections for the Lok Sabha  and all state assemblies . It intends to hold these elections simultaneously, either on a single day or within a specific time frame.  Is this a new scheme?  After we got our independence, till 1967 there was only one election that was conducted throughout the nation to determine Lok Sabha and state assemblies. But due to some political disturbances and in some states some government didn't even complete its tenure so this cycle could not continue.  Mostly 3 types of election are conducted nowadays.

Recent Tweet Of Elon Musk: The biggest and most-talked-about deal of the year 2022 may not happen at all. " Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users. " Bot accounts are fake/spam accounts that automatically post tweets based on certain content. Twitter has a revenue model for these accounts to monetise through ads and other paid offerings, such as Twitter Blue, Super Follows, and more.
