Coronavirus Omicron LIVE Updates | School ID cards of children will be accepted for COVID-19 vaccination, says RS Sharma

In view of the daily surge in COVID-19 cases, the Delhi government announced on December 26 that it would impose a curfew from 11pm to 5am. The government stated that the restrictions will take effect on December 27. The health department reported 290 new cases today, which is the highest level since June 10. One death case was also recorded during the same period. On Monday, the blocked Chinese city of Xi’an tightened Covid-19 control measures to the “strictest” level, banning residents from driving around towns to control the country’s worst epidemic in 21 months. As Beijing prepares to welcome thousands of overseas tourists for the February Winter Olympics, China adheres to a “zero Covid” strategy of strict border restrictions, long-term quarantine, and targeted lockdowns. But the historic city of Xi’an—13 million residents facing a fifth day of home quarantine—is at the center of the outbreak, which has pushed the number of daily infections across the country to its highest level since March last year. Bharatiya Janata’s MP Valen Gandhi quoted a statement from the center on Monday criticizing several states, including Uttar Pradesh, for imposing curfews to curb Covid. He said that we should decide whether our first priority is to control the disease or to be addicted to it. Show the power during the election. He said that policymakers should be on the front line to encourage ordinary people to stay at home.

When criticizing the decision to curfew at night, he said: “After hundreds of thousands of people have gathered to participate in the rally during the day, the curfew at night is against the wisdom of ordinary people.” He said that given the limited health infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, we must honestly decide whether our first priority is to contain the dangerous variant of the Omicron coronavirus or to demonstrate power during the polls.

Gandhi pointed out that the greatest spread usually occurs during the day because there are fewer people on the road at night, and called for a strong reduction in social gatherings that may become Covid clusters. He cited the center’s statement to the Maharashtra government in March 2021, and emphasized that curfews, weekend lockdowns and other measures have very limited impact on curbing or suppressing transmission. “Therefore, the government should focus on strict and effective containment strategies,” it once said. Gandhi called for a holistic strategy.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
