These mega-corporations currently enjoy a sort of weightlessness, sidestepping the taxation and legal requirements of many nations. Powerful sovereign countries such as ours must set an example to the rest of the world by ending this situation. Sir Nicholas Clegg, former Deputy Prime Minister, is perhaps the perfect example of a well-intentioned member of our liberal elite.

Decision affecting World CupOne possible reason is that shifting the IPL away from India could make it clear that they are unable to stage the World Cup which is due in India in October-November this year.

The private hospital in question had allegedly conducted nearly 7,000 PCR tests per day, even though they were allowed to conduct only 1,200 PCR tests daily, as per the regulations put in place by the Ministry of Health. The Sunday Morning reached out to Association of Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes (APHNH) President Dr. Lakith Peiris for more insight into the matter. According to Dr. Peiris, any laboratory would have a capacity, and if this capacity is exceeded, it may result in a compromised and questionable output of results. “The private sector will continue to do the PCR testing and be compliant with what the Government has laid out in order to overcome these hard times,” Dr. Peiris said in conclusion.
