Patients gasping for air on packed hospital floors. Welcome to the nation in the midst of a COVID crisis that may be outpacing India’s.

A expedition base camp staff wearing a face mask walks around Everest base camp where COVID-19 has now infiltrated. .Nepali migrants workers gather at the India-Nepal border as they return to Nepal, in Jamunaha near Nepalgunj, some 650 km west of Kathmandu. Like India, Nepal’s government has been lambasted for allowing a series of religious festivals and other events to take place which, it’s thought, helped the virus spread.

Nepal’s treacherous geography also means many communities are inaccessible by road slowing down deliveries of vital medical supplies. Then there’s accusations of sheer political ineptitude. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has been accused, for instance, of spruiking quack remedies.reported Mr Oil suggested gargling with guava leaves could help people rid themselves of the viruses. Drinking turmeric water was another suggestion.

Many vital goods consumed in Nepal are trucked in by way of India. Last month, large numbers of Hindus from Nepal crossed into India for the famous Kumbh Mela festival on the banks of the mighty Ganges river.Nepal's cases are now closely resembling the situation in neighbouring India.The Nepalese Government has now put in stricter border checks and closes some of the many crossings. But the virus is already within its borders.

Federal Court dismisses part of a challenge to the Australian Government's India travel banThe Federal Court throws out part of a challenge to a temporary ban on passengers travelling from India where COVID-19 infection rates have been escalating. Sounds like a pretty simple reasoning, and one the act/regs would have likely detailed, meaning the challenge is likely to lack substance and be a bit thin. What did they think would happen, Citizens in Malaysia have more constitutional rights than us. The one positive of Covid has been people realising how few rights we have & the inability of Courts to uphold 'implied rights' Article doesn't say which part was thrown out & what remains
