No relief in sight. Day after day in range 45-50C, even 10 days out. That's 113-122F. These are temperatures that kill. Pakistan and NW India are being hit hardest, but it is brutal throughout most of India. Although there is little reporting, the death toll must be staggering.

It's 44°C in Delhi today 🥵
Yesterday, bad planning + phone blooper meant I was out in the scorching heat from 12-3pm. Tried taking a bus. The only AC one that came was full to the brim (COVID super spreader anyone?). The non AC bus was emptier but so hot. I took it. (1)

S East Asia & West Pacific region account for 2/3 of global drowning deaths.
Over the years @georgeinstitute researchers have generated evidence that has convinced govts & communities to address this silent epidemic.

I just found out that
1. For 24 years every pilot who landed at the airport in Nagpur, India had to be warned about the Boeing 720 sitting next to the runway.
2. That it was my dad's fault.
This is the story of my dad's junkyard jet.

New data shows that Indian men are shorter now than they were a decade ago. So are large numbers of women.
Around the world, people are getting taller – so why are Indian heights on the decline? Umang Poddar writes

It’s @SunoIndia_in’s 3rd birthday! It’s been 3 years of me being an entrepreneur and building Suno India. And these are some of my learnings. Long thread alert.

This massive trial provided a definitive evidence to show a simple switch from table salt to reduced-sodium salt will save millions of lives worldwide!
Ground-breaking study shows #saltsubstitutes significantly reduce risk of stroke and death
compared to regular salt

Today’s limerick: Vaxxed
So I’ve had my first shot of A-Zed
And spent 24 hours in bed
But suffice it to say
I’d take that any day
Over ICU (or being dead)

People use my story (voluntarily cutting my CEO pay to give all workers $70k+) as evidence capitalism works. "He did it on his own."
No! It proves it doesn't work. It's been 6 years. Not one big company followed suit. Corporations will never voluntarily do the right thing.
