“China is led by one man only, but this man is in the dark and rules tyrannically, with no method for governance, though he is skilled at playing with power, causing the entire country to suffer.” Xu wrote in February.

“According to his friends, his wife said she received a phone call from police saying that he had been arrested for soliciting prostitution,” Clarke said.

“His friends say he had been put under house arrest in Beijing a few days before – between June 30 and July 4 – so they had gone to his house to welcome his release, but as a result, they found that he had already been arrested.”

A herdsman of inner Magnolia in the Chinese region found infected with Bubonic plague, health officials said.

The patient was suspected with infection on Saturday and was confirmed with the lymph node Bubonic plague the following day. He is currently in the local hospital and is in a stable condition.

Bubonic plague is a rare but serious bacterial infection that is transmitted by fleas. It is caused by the bacterial Yersinia pestis. Y. pestis spreads via infected fleas or animals, like rodents, squirrels, or hares, which can be passed into humans who are bit or scratched.

The plague diagnosis comes about a week after the Chinese government announced two other people had contracted pneumonic plague in Beijing


People may experience:

Pain areas: in the abdomen or muscles
Cough: can be with blood
Whole body: fever, chills, fatigue, or malaise
Gastrointestinal: diarrhoea, nausea, or vomiting
Also common: bleeding, delirium, headache, phlegm, shortness of breath, or swollen and tender lymph node.

These antibiotics are used to cure Bubonic plague:

Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Doxycycline (Vibramycin)
Gentamicin (Garamycin)
Levofloxacin (Levaquin)

The health committee of the city of Bayan Nur issued the third-level alert, the second lowest in a four-level system.

Chinese authorities are urging people to take extra precautions to keep down the risk of human-to-human transmission and to avoid hunting or eating animals that could cause infection. Bayannur authorities also warned the public to report findings of dead or sick Marmots

Cases in China are rare but not uncommon. From 2009 to 2018, 26 cases were reported and 11 people died.
Madagascar saw more than 300 cases during an outbreak in 2017. However, a study in medical journal The Lancet found less than 30 people died.

    ”For students who cannot appear for the final semester or final year exam, the universities will hold a special exam after September. And those who could not pass the exam will also be allowed to improve,” said an Officer.

    Now UGC had revised the guidelines. And advised the institutions to conduct pending final year exam .


      Meanwhile at least seven states had already cancelled their examination without bothering to wait for UGC fresh guideline’s. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Orissa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal are seven states who have cancelled their University examination.
