The trial sites included AIIMS, New Delhi, AIIMS, Patna and SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre in Tamil Nadu. In its letter to principal investigators of the 12 sites, ICMR Director General Dr Balram Bhargava noted that the clinical trial of Covaxin is one of the "top priority projects which is being monitored at the top-most level of the government". However, it is not clear how the clinical trials can be completed and the vaccine released on 15 August when the normal period for a vaccine to be approved is 12 to 18 months. Several experts have questioned the ICMR's timeline, asking if the efficacy of the vaccine is "pre-decided" and cautioned it from applying "excess pressure". Over seven vaccines are being researched in India and only Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN and Zydus' ZyCoV-D have got the go-ahead to start human clinical trials, just this week. Globally, over 100 candidates are being tested on humans but no vaccine has yet been approved. Speaking to Firstpost, Bharat Biotech chairman Dr Krishna Ella, said said that COVAXIN was reported to be safe and immunogenic in all animals. "We have now moved forward towards the clinical development of this vaccine," he added. Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of Covaxin in COVID-19 patients will begin this month. According to PTI, Zydus said that is planning to initiate the clinical trials in July 2020 across multiple sites in India in over 1,000 subjects, however, the company did not say when the vaccine will be ready for commercial use, unlike Covaxin, which is targeting for release on 15 August. The vaccine candidate, ZyCoV-D, showed a "strong immune response" in animal studies, and the antibodies produced were able to completely neutralise the wild type virus, Zydus said.

Jagdanand Babu's announcement wasn't a prophecy it was just a piece of the plan which has occurred.

He added that if MLAs of the Janata Dal-U would like joining the BJP The BJP will be happy to welcome them. Since there are many JDU leadership who've performed excellent work. Sushil Kumar Modi has also claimed that there are a significant number of JDU MLAs and leaders who are looking to join BJP and keep contacting regarding the merger of RJD and JDU.

Bihar Assembly Election 2020: Get latest predction made by different channel?

Betting Predictions says that Chirag Paswan will only compete in the 2020 Bihar parliamentary elections. LJP only competes with JDU candidates. For hanging montages, LJP extends support to BJP to prevent the Nitish Kumar from becoming a Bihar CM again.

By how much votes does Chirag Paswan win on Nitish Kumar?

Everything is happening as expected. Chirag Paswan, which began with an attack on Nitish Kumar, culminated last Sunday after LJP declared that it would only give candidates to JD (U) in the upcoming 2020 Bihar Assembly elections.

This means a silent agreement on another NDA in the Bihar elections. That is, the story plot is ready, and its climax is immediately understandable.

LJP won 2 seats last time, but 2nd place was 36 seats, and 3rd place was two seats. But it's not as simple as it looks. In 2015, the BJP fought with 157 seats, JDU 101 seats, and LJP 42 seats. In the 50-50 scheme with the JDU, the BJP does not compete for half the seats in the Bihar Elections Predictions. It is these seats that are important.

Bihar Assembly Election 2020: BJP-JD (U) announces share sheet today

Experts say the LJP will fight in those seats and gain BJP's "support" as an invisible partner. This total number is an excellent strike rate for 243 members. As a result of the Bihar election, JDU's bargaining power may weaken. In such a scenario, the BJP will have an advantage in forming the Bihar government and will play the game on their terms.

By Bihar Opinion Poll 2020 LJP may not win any more seats, but it may be a JDUE spoiler. If LJP couldn't win any more seats, it would only ruin Nitish Kumar's plans, and his recovery would not be easy. LJP wins or loses and brings great joy to Nitish's games. In this case, the BJP is also a clear winner. In the Ramvilas, Paswan was an ally of RJD before these elections. There was a lot of resentment over Lalu Prasad Yadav's 15-year rule.

Currently, 15 years of Nichish domination have been completed. This time, LJP does not want to leave any stones on suspicion of antitrust. Voters who are naturally angry with Nichish are also the ones who see Tejashwi and remember the era of Lal Yadaf's rule. Opponents describe Lal Prasad Yadav's RJD government as an "anti-upper class" and a "symbol of anarchy. If voters do not want to adopt RJD or Nitish, LJP will offer a new option. Experts believe that Nichish upset everyone.

How BJP benefits from LJP by leaving NDA Statistics shows that BJP will benefit more from the JDU-BJP Alliance. If the BJP can get more from the seat-sharing scheme, two scenarios can occur. The benefits of BJP also depend on how by much vote Chirag will get the coming election. Second, if LJP somehow wins more than 30 seats, it undermines Nitish Kumar.

So read Bihar Elections Predictions, get more knowledge whose chances are more to win.

Coronavirus Outbreak Latest Updates

Epidemic accelerating, says WHO emergencies chief

The emergencies chief of the World Health Organisation says the coronavirus is continuing to gain pace globally, reports AP. Noting the marked increase in the number of confirmed cases being reported in the past five or six weeks, he warned that a spike in deaths could be soon to follow. In April and May, we were dealing with 100,000 cases a day, said Dr Michael Ryan during a Tuesday press briefing. Today we're dealing with 200,000 a day. Ryan said the number of COVID-19 deaths appeared to be stable for the moment, but he cautioned that there is often a lag time between when confirmed cases increase and when deaths are reported due to the time it takes for the coronavirus to run its course in patients. Ryan also dismissed the idea that the significant jump in cases was due to more widespread testing and, said, This epidemic is accelerating."
