Plight of Indians

I feel sorry for the Indians.

Their masters wanted them to be the global.work force and won't have simple travel insurance, leave alone medical.insurance.

For the ruling class they are the "Vote Bank" and soon forgotten, till the next general election.

It is true for Ceylon, too.


The Coronavirus exposed the global human falliability.

This piece is not about that but about Tuberculosis.

Even the majestic Wholly Mammoth, I believe succumbed to this disease.

Unlike Coronavirus, the tuberculous infection effects all organs except teeth.

In the elephant it is the tusks that escape tuberculous destruction.

Viral infections especially measles lower the innate immunity and exposes the vulnerable kids to the tuberculous pandemic.

Now the Coronavirus pandemic raises the possibility of this tuberculous pandemic in India, Ceylon and African subcontinent due to poorly tailored vaccination programs.

BCG vaccination has gone into oblivion in some countries, including America and Europe.

Most of the domestic and lower paid immigrants coming from to developing countries will spread tuberculosis all over the world albeit after a little lull.

These immigrants are partially immune to tuberculosis but Coronavirus hit exposes them.to pneumonia caused by tuberculosis.

It takes six to eight weeks of Koch's postulate to confirm tuberculosis which none of these countries have laboratories equipped with media to grow but PCR technology now we have may be useful with some modifications.

There are many tuberculosis variants species.specific to fish to elephants to dogs to cat family.

There are also anonymous mycobacteria, too.

One of my teachers in bacteriology (virology was non.existent then) who developed a PhD thesis in anonymous tuberculosis (probably animal variant crossing species like Chinese animal Coronavirus) may have been a culprit.

His thesis was rejected fearing loss of chance to go abroad (Indians and Ceylonese never return after foreign sojourns).
He said these university guys are psychopaths and became a psychiatrist in Australia.

With his five children I never saw him but I am told his kids are doing better than his father.

Incidentally, his house was sold to our Wijeevira and police was after him thinking he was a JVP guy.

That put his entire family off of Ceylonese Origin.

When all intellectuals leave this.country mediocre guys take the rein including our cricket.

The credible gap.of WHO wide open now.
