kosingh Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The additional problem in India - especially cities like Delhi - is that it is putting pressure on other medical services. Things like dialysis, heart surgery, orthopedic surgery are being put off by hospitals because non-availability of beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trichromatic Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 WHO: spread from people without symptoms is rare Quote The World Health Organization says it still believes the spread of the coronavirus from people without symptoms is “rare,” despite warnings from numerous experts worldwide that such transmission is more frequent and likely explains why the pandemic has been so hard to contain. https://www.firstpost.com/health/coronavirus-outbreak-updates-covid-19-vaccine-india-today-lockdown-5-maharashtra-delhi-telangana-death-cases-latest-news-2-8458301.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fall for BJP propaganda. Delhi is barely testing. Now Delhi is testing 4000-5000 tests a day, which isn't good enough. In fact, the capacity has reduced somewhat since last month.

All other states are testing at similar rate at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan AF Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 In Sennai if they do 10,000 tests nearly 18-20% are positive. And that number is growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here testing is depending on symptoms and suspect contact tracing and quarantine process. If a state has done successful quarantine, they don't need aggressive testing. One example is Karnataka, with under 6000 cases, they have done 4 lac testing. Despite testing, they have not been able to find positive. So either their testing methodology is wrong or they were wasting testing kits by needless testing. We need high TPR for successful process. Low TPR means failure of testing methodology.

Don't fall for BJP propaganda. We should look for TPR instead of TPM. High TPR means, more successful testing process. You need to identify positive cases more successfully than test negatives and brag high TPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low TPR means failure of testing methodology. 100% agree. Look at it another way- how many people who need tests in Delhi are able to get one? A small proportion, unfortunately. I am sitting here in the US. But my dad is a doctor at one of the covid hospitals in Delhi. His speciality is completely unrelated to virus infections or emergency medicine. But hospitals are so under staffed that every doctor is being requested to help out. For the most part, they have given up on testing. Most patients are unable to get a test even with a note from the doctor/hospital. They are diagnosing and treating based on symptoms. These cases don't count toward official numbers. It is a nightmare for hospitals, doctors and patients. And Kejriwal is making things worse. Instead of going after hospitals, he needs to go after the many pathology labs that refuse to do covid testing. They refuse even to examine collected samples. He also needs to go after those supplying test kits. Remember all the nautanki a few weeks ago about India developing its own testing kits? Feluda? Results available super quickly? Whatever happened!
