Promises to keep
Promises matter in elections because voters lack rationality. As election history shows, freebies do get votes. Hitherto, it was a time tested method of electoral success for a desperate opposition.
Raising the eyebrows of medical experts, a 57-year-old resident of Dum Dum area tested COVID-19 positive though he had no recent travel history in the countries affected by this viral disease during the past two months.
The patient was admitted to a premier private hospital along EM Bypass in a critical condition with severe respiratory distress and high fever. He is now under a life-support system.
His swab samples were tested COVID-19 positive both at the National Institute of Communicable Disease (NICD) and SSKM hospital laboratories today. Sources in the state health department said that the patient had no history of travelling in any nCoV-affected countries recently.
