Theres been a lot of talk of pets leading to covid-19 leading to many pets across the world being shunned out of the house by their owners, but before you rush to blame your furry companions for spreading the disease, we’re here to bust some myths about wether or not pets can transfer the virus. The conversation around animals being susceptible to the diesse began when a tiger in a New York Zoo tested positive for the virus. However, vets at the Bronx Zoo believe it was a human to animal transmission and not the other way around. There is currently no data to show that pets can transfer the virus. Even the WHO has said that there no known animal source of the Covid-19 yet, and doctors back home have backed the world body.

As India gets past the 1 lakh&nbsp;mark in coronavirus cases, we trace India's journey to this grim milestone.&nbsp;

As India faced one of the largest global lockdowns, many left without food and income decided to make a long and hard journey back home. This is the story of India's daily wage earner.

The fields are lush, summer fruits and vegetables are waiting, a bumper crop of wheat is ready for harvest in India, but hobbled by severe labour shortages, and a plummeting demand due to a nationwide lockdown, millions of farmers are staring at huge losses.&nbsp; Economists say the setback caused by Covid-19, will plunge the country&rsquo;s struggling rural economy into further distress.&nbsp;
Although farming has been declared an essential service, and agriculture markets are exempted from the lockdown, the supply chain has been badly hit, with buses and train services suspended and trucks face hurdles in moving across state borders.&nbsp;
The breadbasket states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh rely on farm labourers from eastern India, for the crucial harvesting season of the&nbsp;rabi&nbsp;or winter crop, but most of them returned home to their villages after the lockdown began on March 24.&nbsp;
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has advised wheat farmers to postpone their harvest to April 20,&nbsp;but late harvests mean lower yields, reduced returns, and a smaller window to plant next season's crops.&nbsp;
Even if farmers somehow manage to harvest, the next struggle they face is taking their produce to market. Most farmers sell produce only at wholesale markets which, in turn, depend on labourers to unload, weigh and pack the grain. The labour shortage would cripple wholesale markets and even bring them to a grinding halt.&nbsp;Despite a Home Ministry order to keep mandis open, many have shut down.&nbsp;
The decision on extending the lockdown is yet to be taken, but the implications of the shutdown for the Indian farmer, could indeed be very dire.&nbsp;

&nbsp;As signs of normalcy return to Covid-19 epicentre Wuhan, this farmer is left with thousands of kilograms of produce. This is the story of the only choice he has.

As the world comes to a grounding halt, the National Orchestra of France used the magic of technology to weave together the sight and sounds of its musicians, who filmed themselves playing alone in their homes into a seamless, rousing whole.&nbsp;

As Coronavirus brings the entertainment industry in Europe to a halt, this circus must find a way to continue without its lifeblood - an audience.

There are things we use every day - some that we can't live without, and some that we can learn to live without. But no matter what we do, our existence depends on the most important molecules present on Earth: H2O. Here's a look at a few things we use and throw away everyday, and the surprising amount of water that goes into making them. 1. Most Indians can't live without their morning cup of tea, while some need their hot cup of coffee. While you may use only 200 ml of water in your cup of cup, the production of 1 cup worth of tea requires close to 34 litres of water, and a cup worth of coffee needs a whopping 132 litres to produce. 2. Your favourite pair of jeans may go out of style soon, but did you know the production of 1 pair of jeans needs 7,000 to 10,000 litres of water? That's approximately 3 years worth of drinking water, and this excludes the water needed to wash it! 3. The delicious meat dishes we like to indulge in show another grave scenario. To produce 1 kg of mea

The Maharashtra power tussle took a new twist with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis resigning as Chief Minister. The BJP and the Shiv Sena may have won the assembly election together in October, but the saffron clan is divided and the two parties are still fighting for the chief minister's job. Sena wants a rotational CM, the BJP doesn't. And all of this a day before the term of the current assembly officially ends. Maharashtra still doesn't have a new government.

With Delhi choking again, an editorji analysis revealed that while most air quality parameters, such as Carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide, remained between average and good, the PM 2.5 and PM 10 were at dangerous levels much to the surprise of meteorologist.
