सांगण्यास अत्यंत आनंद होतोय की “कोरोना / कोविड-19 ची Seasonality आणि भारताच्या September-2020 पासून केसेस कमी होण्याचे कारण” या विषयावरचा माझा शोधनिबंध एका आंतरराष्ट्रीय मेडिकल जर्नलमध्ये प्रकाशित झाला आहे.

साथीच्या रोगांच्या, महामारीच्या लाटा का येतात
(आनंद मोरेंनी लाटा का येतात अशी पोस्ट केली, माझ्या परीने सोप्यात सांगायचा हा प्रयत्न (Disclaimer: I am not an expert and some of the information mentioned in the post below may be due to my inexperience/lack of proper understanding - so please do point-out any inaccuracy/mistakes).
- साथीचा आजार - Infectious Disease - जो आजार एक व्यक्ती कडून दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीला दिला जाऊ शकतो
- Pathogen - आजारा साठी कारण असलेले जिवाणू/विषाणू (Bacteria, Viruses and few others)
- साथ - आजार जो अगदी कमी कालावधीत खूप जास्त लोक आजारी / मृत्युमुखी पडतात. (note: साथ पसरत नसते, तर pathogens पसरत असतात)
- Epidemic - महामारी - आजारी लोकांचे प्रमाण एकाएकी अति प्रचंड प्रमाणात वाढणे
- Pandemic - World wide Epidemic - जागतिक महामारी
- Patient Zero (0) - जो पहिला आजारी पडला, पहिली व्यक्ती जिच्यात pathogen शिरला
- Susceptible (S) - आजार होऊ शकणारी व्यक्ती
- Infected (I) - अशी व्यक्ती जिला सध्या आजार झालेला आहे
- Removed (R) - आजारातून बरी झालेली आणि त्यातून रोग प्रतिकारशक्ती (immunity) मिळालेली, Vaccine / लस घेऊन रोग प्रतिकारशक्ती तयार केलेली, आणि मरण पावलेली व्यक्ती
- Seasonality: हवामानाचा आजारावर/विषाणू वर होणारा परिणाम. फ्लू हा समशीतोष्ण प्रदेशांमध्ये (temperate climate zones) थंडी मध्ये जेव्हा तिथली आर्द्रता कमी होते तेव्हा पसरतो. तसेच उन्हाळ्या मध्ये डास वाढले की मलेरिया वाढतो.
- Cycles: केसेस वाढणे आणि कमी होणे हे परत परत किती वेळा होते.

Herd Immunity and Opening Up Dilemma
Understanding Herd Immunity and Dilemma of Opening up Economy
(Post dated 22 April 2020, data and percentages are as per information available then)
- Mass Vaccinations - ideally of entire population, practically at-least 65%-75%
- प्रत्येकाला वायरसची लागण होत होत सर्वांपर्यन्त पसरून आणि प्रत्येकाने नीट होऊन (किवा #मरून)
- साधारण 70% इनफेक्ट*: 94.5 crore (945 million)
- @ मृत्युदर 5%*: 4.75 crore
- @ मृत्युदर 2%*: 1.9 crore

No two Dyslexic children are going to be alike, not all of them will have same strengths or challenges, each of the child will have a different response and coping mechanism.
So while Dyslexia is a "Gift" and the narrative of many greats being Dyslexic, don't expect "your" child, having this condition, to be doing something great. Expecting itself is NOT a good idea in my opinion for any child.
Let the child do what s/he wants, be around, understand and support. Know that there would be obstacles on the way, help him/her climb those.

Dyslexic's Diary PAGE_4 - Language versus subjects those can be visualized
Attached is the screen-shot of that note I have in Computer-Outlook synced to Phone, it says ‘the star should look like a ring or with a dim center’ - I was a bit wrong, such perfect alignments or Star - Black Hole - Earth’ are difficult/near impossible, but they actually happen on a larger scale - my understanding was limited then.
The effect is called as Einstein's Ring - first was observed only in 1988. I was very excited when I came across the photos over the internet after I revived my cosmology/astro-physics interest. (PS: That date in the note of 7 Feb 2011 was due to a data migration error when I switch to a new phone!)
Gravitationally lensed galaxy SDP.81
The dark center is due to a foreground massive galaxy which is NOT visible in this wavelength.
Similarly, the images below show other such rings with central foreground galaxies (having same gravitational effect as black holes).
Some observed Einstein rings by SLACS:

Solutions used to (even now do) play like a video in my mind, it is sometimes difficult to understand except for people who have such learning/thinking styles. Another instance I remember was from my Sr. Kg/1st std time (I remember the age because I know where I lived then, hence can deduce the approx years). Pappa had brought a salt shaker (probably novelty then), the salt was not used to be refined then, and during monsoon lumps used to form inside. Parents used to open and break them. I suggested them to empty half of the shaker and put a marble inside, so whenever it is shaken the marble would break the lumps and it worked.
