On July 27, 2020, the Delhi High Court asked the government why it is resorting to using antigen tests rather than the "gold standard" PCR Tests. Antigen Tests are globally known to be unreliable as they very often falsely report Covid-infected people to be Covid-free.

ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੪੯੬ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #496

ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਮਨੁੱਖ ਪੱਛਮ ਵਲ ਜਾਣ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਬਣਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਲੈ ਤੁਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਇਕ ਖਿਨ ਵਿਚ ਪੈਦਾ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਨਾਸ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ। ਹਰੇਕ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੱਥ ਵਿਚ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਆਪਣੀ) ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਕਿਸੇ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦੀ। ਜੋ ਗੱਲ ਮੇਰੇ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਨੇ ਮਿਥੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਉਹੀ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ।

But that's not the whole story.
"Instead, everything orbits the Solar System centre of mass," James O'Donoghue, a planetary scientist at the Japanese space agency, JAXA, recently explained on Twitter. "Even the Sun."
That centre of mass, called the barycenter, is the point of an object at which it can be balanced perfectly, with all its mass distributed evenly on all sides. In our Solar System, that point rarely lines up with the centre of the Sun.
