There is a schedule. Periodic easing and staggered infection giving the best chance to get some people immune in the interim. Get lower risk people out while maintaining social distance for risk groups. 

I think its not possible the way this thing spreads. 

 

Hope summer and heat theory holds up.

one good thing happening for India is the number of deaths is quite low. even if the number of people who actually have the virus have not been tested to full capacity yet, that only indicates the mortality rate is even lower than the current figure.

Also the ratio of positive cases to total no of testing is pretty low ,only 3.5 K out of 80k are positive. 

India have started extensive testing and will increase their rates to more than 10k tests per day

The same question was asked by a TV journalist too. To which the Maharashtra minister of state replied that when death occurs in the ICU the Intensivists tend to attribute death to the final cause of death, which could be a stroke or ischemia or whatever. Though corona virus could have exacerbated the existing situation and cause the demise. There is a lack of uniformity in filling those forms.

At the end of the day the Dean of the hospital decides cause of death reviewing each case. If the reporter has his/her contact as the Intensivist, they get "live" updates which vary from the well analyzed update that the hospital puts out at the EoD.

Yeah was thinking the same ,thanks for the clarification ,this clears the conundrum .

Iirc on March 19 there was a death reported in jaipur hospital which was linked with Corona but the patient had a heart attack , this tracker counted it as a death from corona while the ministry didnt

Also to folks in New Jersey Laaloo, Coffee and Sandeep (Also folks I am missing out on). My friend lives in CT and he went on a shopping spree at Patel brothers on Friday as he was told they were totally shutting down for now in the Ny NJ CT area

 

Atleast in the Philly area they have grocery stores open both Indian and Regular supermarkets.

Has anyone heard from tics @Cricketics recently. I have family in the DC area and I have been told the situation in Maryland,Delaware,DC area has gotten worse.

 

stay safe bro

Here, Maryland, governor, a Republican - Larry Hogan, was actually the smartest of all governors. Close down the state even before WHO called Covid19 a pandemic. Yes, we were one of the first states to lockdown, because of our proximity to DC/Virginia as DC is supposed to be the next epic center.

 

Things are actually mild here in our county, even though cases have gone up, the deaths in our county are still low. 

 

Stay safe all. It's just few months and then we will be back to regular soon hopefully.
