Covid related deaths have been happening in India at very low rates, compared to Europe or US, but alarmingly increasing daily at a positive rate, though not nearing exponential proportions. That was the reason why I thought it is the ripe time to carry out an analysis of the Covid situation in India.
Click here for an interesting analysis, carried out by me for the decision makers and policy planners in India. Data from www.manoramaonline.com.
It is very simple and clear. Maharashtra and Gujarat are the two major Indian states badly affected, Indians would be better off not visiting these two states, unless very urgent, in the next six months.
While Maharashtra continues to be badly affected, Kerala at the lower end, though the first in India to have a Covid patient from China, has managed the process well with just three deaths in as many months.
Wishing the Covid deaths in India get controlled by May end of 2020, with no second bout of infections, as forecasted by some sections of the media.
Indians would be better off practicing
- social distancing
- avoiding social gatherings
- avoiding handshakes,
- wearing masks
- observing high standards of personal hygiene and
- frequent hand washing
- less travel, particularly air travel
- improving personal health by good exercising
- getting good sleep, almost 7-9 hours daily
- most importantly, caring for the suffering members of the public
Lets hope by these steps we are jointly able to contain this virus, once for all.
