There's a dedicated space on COVID-19 in the updated material of VISIONIAS PT365. I think that is all we need to know. It covers all aspects. That is all I'm referring to for COVID.
BD,
Not at all. No need to do these technological developments. They are still evolving. UPSC doesn't ask ambiguous techniques.
For COVID, these must be done-
1. Antigen, Antibodies
2. Immunity- acquired and innate
3. RT-PCR test, rapid antigen test, pool test, ELISA
4. Herd immunity
5. Epidemic, Pandemic
6. SARS, MERS, N-Cov viruses
7. DNA, RNA, Protein, Transcription, Translation, Blood fractionation process, Plasma therapy
8. Ro, R and terms associated like infectivity rate, incubation period
9. Vaccine nationalism, types of vaccines- recombinant, conjugate, RNA vaccines etc.
10. Global coalitions for vaccine could be skimmed through once.
If anything beyond this is asked, you don't have to worry because 99% junta wouldn't be knowing it too. Such a question will be put in the 'bouncer' category of this year!

Kindly tell me the aim of operation twist..is it to ease loans for corporate sector
Operation Twist is RBI’s simultaneous selling of short-term securities and buying of long term securities through open market operations (OMO). Under this mechanism, the short-term securities are transitioned into long-term securities.
This operation involves buying and selling government securities simultaneously in order to bring down long-term interest rates and bolster short-term rates.
Consumers/borrowers will profit from ‘Operation Twist’ as the retail loans will now get cheaper. Previously banks were forced to price their retail loans at higher rates owing to high yields on long-term government borrowings. Cheaper retail loans mean a boost in consumption and spending in the economy which in turn will revive growth.
