Effect of COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak in Bengaluru India

The first positive test confirmed on 9/March/2020 at Namma Bengaluru. The government has ordered holidays for primary school children (up to 5th grade) till 31st March. The market of India is getting better as oil prices are shooting down because of this effect. But the media is scaring people more, which is creating more panic for people to buy surgical masks, not even N 95 mask. And the doctors with different background are giving random statements related to the type of mask that has to be used. If the number of outbreak goes big with respect to our population, the government probably does not have enough ICU's nor oxygen supporting machines. The government says they have bed's in open isolation room, and they are not providing proper gear for the doctors to fight this pandemic, this does not make any rational sense! When government says don't panic we obey it, but they have to provide us the proper statistics that we have to actually fight this pandemic, not just the number of beds available, which is also lower in number compared to our population. Hence, we the people should take precautionary measures and educate about the safety tips to poor people specially, who does not have any facility and depends totally on government hospitals.

Rock dependent extreme microbes that could potentially survive outside our solar system

We recently published a paper in the journal of life, MDPI publishers, which is a scopus indexed journal. Here we have used the indexing metric tool and adjusted its weight exponents mathematically, to check if extreomophiles or microbes which are rock dependent, that could potentially survive on rocky exoplanets.
Exoplanets are basically planets outside our solar system, similar work of tardigrade microbe (or extremophile) was done by our team and it is published in Life sciences in space Research journal, Elsivier publisher. As tardigrade is a water extremophile that could potentially survive on water composition exoplanets.
In order to learn more about this and to know about the names of the rocky extremophiles, read from the link below of the open access journal.


We have obtained some interesting results:
