Twelve doctors test positive for corona-virus at Multan hospital

Twelve doctors and six nurses have tested positive for coronavirus at Nishtar Medical Hospital in Multan , a senior official at Multan’s biggest health facility said on Sunday.
Vice-Chancellor Nishtar Medical University Dr Mustafa Kamal Pasha said the paramedics were exposed to the virus while treating a patient.
“The staff had been treating a patient who had a lung disease. After the patient died his test came back positive for the virus. We conducted tests of everyone in the ward after the patient passed away,” he added.
While the government says it is making all efforts to ensure the availability of personal protective equipment (PPEs) for the paramedics treating the coronavirus patients, doctors across the country have complained of the shortage of protective gear as the number of cases rise above 5,000.
Dr Qaiser Sajjad, secretary-general of the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) told Geo News that the government needed to ensure proper protective gear was given to those dealing with coronavirus patients.
“This is a serious issue if the doctors aren’t protected,” Dr Sajjad said. “The government keeps saying it will only provide protective gear to those working in the intensive care unit.”
“If we do not take precautions, our health system would collapse,” he warned.
“If steps to protect the doctors aren’t taken, they will sit at home,” the PMA official added. “Those doctors sitting at home are not being used by the government. We could face a shortage of health professionals in the coming days,” Dr Sajjad noted.
“More than 50 doctors have contracted the virus and this is only about the ones we know,” he added.
Two doctors have died after contracting the virus during treatment of COVID-19 patients with many more affected due to shortage protective gear.

Robert Downey Jr. loses his temper as interviewer digs up his dark past: Watch

Hollywood star "Robert Downey" Jr. is unquestionably one of the crowd-favourites owing to his iconic Iron Man portrayal.
And while the actor seems to be filled to the core with wit and positivity, there is one thing that manages to push even his buttons: his dark past.
An interview of the Dolittle actor turned ugly after the interviewer started digging into his controversies from his dark past including drug abuse, jail time and shaky ties with father Robert Downey Sr.
The actor has kept his past strictly concealed but British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy for Channel News 4, brought out the beast again.
While it was reiterated that the interview, held in 2015, would strictly encircle Avengers: Age of Ultron, things started heating up when the interviewer asked about his comment given to New York Times following his custody.
"You can't go from a USD 2000 a night hotel suite to a penitentiary, understand it and come out a liberal. I couldn't even tell you what a liberal so therein lies the answer to your question,” Robert retorted.
He was further asked if he is still a liberal after he was released from prison, to which he replied: "Are we promoting a movie?”
"I'm certainly not going to back-pedal on anything that I have said but I wouldn't say I'm a Republican, a Liberal or a Democrat... that's the nice thing, you can have opinions and they kind of change and flow,” he added.
When Krishnan further stressed on pushing the interview around Robert, he replied: “You have as much time as anyone else will,” before signaling his team to conclude.
Krishnan soon shot back saying they still have a few minutes before the interview can wrap up. Robert responded saying: “Your foot is starting to jump a little bit. You better get to your next question."
The last straw for the actor was the question revolving his drug abuse problem that had been a thing of the past, as immediately after hearing, he retorted: “What are we doing?” and walked out.
After the interviewer apologized, Robert gave him a pat on the back and said: “You seem okay. It's getting a bit Diane Sawyer and you're kind of a schmuck."



Prince Harry had planned the exit from royal family since a long time

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal departure came as a shock to fans across the globe, however with new reports surrounding their plans coming in; it has just recently been revealed that his exit was actually pre-planned well in advance.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Dr. Jane Goodall and Prince Harry had a conversation during which he revealed his plans of exiting the royal family long before the news came out.
“At the end [of the conversation] Meghan came in to listen with Archie. He was very tiny and very sleepy – not too pleased to be passed from his mummy. I think I was one of the first to cuddle him outside the family. I made Archie do the Queen’s wave, saying, 'I suppose he’ll have to learn this.' Harry said, 'No, he’s not growing up like that.'”
The simple fact that Prince Harry stated, 'no, he’s not growing up like that’, foreshadows a possible pre-planned departure, one which occurred months in advance.

Meghan Markle's friend makes startling confession: 'You either love her or you don't

Meghan Markle after marrying into the British royal family has been hailed as an icon of women empowerment for a lot. However there are many who still question the former actor’s loyalties.
Author Shinan Govani who had been closely moving into the same social circles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex back when they were residing in Vancouver Island, Canada, made some startling revelations about Meghan.
Writing for Tatler, Govani revealed that when it comes to Meghan, there is no in-between, as people’s fondness for her only touches the very extremes.
“She is like liquorice. You either love her or you don’t,” he said.
“Something that has stayed with me, especially post-Megxit, is that Meghan is no stranger to picking up and reinventing herself, be it in Argentina, Canada, the UK, or now, LA,” he said looking back at a chat he had with her in her Toronto home while she was shooting for Suits.
“Both a go-getter as well as a shape-shifter, she returns now with more social mojo than she could have ever imagined then,” he continues.
