As we reach the ripe old age of 30 we sit back and chat about a topic we often come back to over an artisinal flat white – why do people think everything on the web “should” be free? We discuss some possible causes, the backlash against app developers charging for previously free tools and ponder if the rise of big VC has played it’s part too.

Oh and yes there’s yet more microphone drama. All will be explained next week. As always we do apologise for the disruption to the service.

The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has decided to give additional financial compensation to health and paramedical staff of AMC and private designated Covid-19 hospitals who contact coronavirus infection on duty.

In the ward of Covid-19 patients, one could expect the medicine, anaesthesia or pulmonology experts at work. But if one visits Civil Hospital, the treating doctor could well be on his/ her way to become ophthalmologist, gynaecologist or general surgeon! In SVP hospital, he or she may be specialising in psychiatry too!

In an incident that raises serious questions about Covid-19 care centres run by the city civic body, a 27-year-old coronavirus positive man died in his bed after suffering seizure at room 808-Block G3, at Samras Covid-19 care centre in Navrangpura. Only asymptomatic patients are isolated here so that they can be monitored and sent to hospital if they develop symptoms, or discharged when they turn negative.
