Much like the alternatives to mainstream social media platforms, China has pioneered the production of search engines that provide an alternative to Google and Bing. Some of the most prominent Chinese search engines are Baidu and Sogou. Baidu – China’s internet giant Since its founding in 2000, Baidu’s revenue surged swiftly and totaled about 107 billion yuan in 2020. A majority of the revenue was generated through online marketing services. However, the operating profit reduced drastically after having peaked over 15 billion yuan three years prior to 2020. Although Baidu controlled about 70 to 80 percent of China’s online search market, a new contender Sogou emerged and is expected to close the gap in the near future. The underdog in the search engine market is a subsidiary of Chinese internet company Sohu, Inc. Baidu versus Sogou Sogou was ranked the third most preferred mobile search engine with about 32 percent of market shares. However, it surpassed Baidu by a wide margin in terms of the daily browsing time spent by each visitor that equaled more than 35 minutes. Furthermore, Sogou pioneered the development of apps to input Chinese characters through a multiplatform replacement keyboard and voice typing. Their latest app - Mobile Keyboard - has given stiff competition to Baidu, compelling the tech giant to aggressively expand in the artificial intelligence sector.
India reported over 12.3 million cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of April 1, 2021, with more than 11 million recoveries and about 163 thousand fatalities. The country has been reporting new cases of the virus every day since March 2, 2020. While the number of new cases has been growing, some patients who tested positive under quarantine have made full recoveries. Why the curve matters The World Health Organization along with other global health authorities have repeatedly underlined the importance of “flattening the curve” to handle the novel coronavirus pandemic. What does it mean? Simply put, the idea is to reduce the number of new cases over a long period to allow people to have better access to healthcare and recovery without infecting others. If the current trend continues, the Indian health system would be overwhelmed leading to more deaths than recoveries. The most important idea is to cut transmission rates by practicing social distancing and following proper hygiene routines. Situation overview The western state of Maharashtra had the highest number of cases since early March. In order to cope with the crisis better, the government was making contingency plans to increase COVID-19 testing capacities of the country. At the same time, the country went into a total lockdown on March 25, making it the largest in the world, restricting 1.3 billion people. After further extensions, the country was divided into red, orange and green zones. Red zones were designated hotspots and will not see any relaxations in comparison to the areas considered less prone for the spread of the virus. Like other countries across the world, restrictions were slowly being lifted to attempt building economic momentum.
