Healthy Beetroot Halwa

No, I don’t like Beetroot one bit.

Yes, that’s the truth and then everything changed once I became pregnant. Its one of those weird things which happened. Women crave sweets, fast foods, savory, salt and many more. But for some weird reasons I started enjoying coffee and beetroot more during my pregnancy. More weird (to me) my kid loves, actually adores beetroot chips than lays chips.

Duke University undergraduates to quarantine after recruitment parties | TheHill (Deja Vu, over an over and over again… our wishing away pandemic still does not work!!!)

Undergraduate students at Duke University will be forced to quarantine after an outbreak of coronavirus cases that the school believes is linked to recruitment parties.

Duke said in a statement that the action was to control the escalating number of COVID-19 cases among undergraduates, which it said was “principally driven by students attending recruitment parties for selective living groups.”

The school said that over 180 students are in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19, and an additional 200 are in quarantine as a result of contract tracing.

“This is by far the largest one-week number of positive tests and quarantines since the start of the pandemic,” the school said.

Under the order, all in-person courses will transfer to online only, and undergraduates cannot participate in laboratory activities.

People infected with the United Kingdom variant of COVID-19 are significantly more likely to die, a new study warns. British epidemiologists say the SARS-CoV-2 variant dubbed B.1.1.7 is anywhere from 30 to 100 percent more deadly than previous strains.

The study, conducted by researchers at the Universities of Exeter and Bristol reveals that the new variant is to blame for 227 deaths in a sample of 54,906 patients. That’s notably higher than the 141 closely matched deceased patients infected with earlier virus strains.
