SG: I want to assist the court. In furtherance of the cognisance, this issue needs examination. I have a copy of the guidelines on dead body management by the Centre.
SC: We are more concerned with living than dead. Look at the condition of hospitals. Bodies are there in the wards. Mumbai is testing 16,0000 to 17,000 whereas in Delhi its falling below 7,000. Media has highlighted this issue.
“We’ve tested more than every country combined,” @POTUS Trump said April 27. @shefalil fact checked that claim with @PolitiFact. Pants. On. Fire. #HealthCheck #COVID19testing khn.org/news/trumps-cl…
It was a variation on claims he had made April 24, as well as on Twitter the day after — when he said the U.S. had tested “more than any other country in the World, and even more than all major countries combined.”
We emailed the White House for comment but never heard back, so we turned to the data. Trump’s claim didn’t stand up to scrutiny.
.@FishersIN Mayor @ScottFadness says @FishersFireDept will begin offering #Covid19testing late next week to any resident who wants one. He'll also ask city council tomorrow to make Fishers the 3rd Indiana city with its own health department (along with Gary and East Chicago).
Fadness says city will also create rapid response teams to address popup #coronavirus outbreaks, and offer public health advice to businesses on how to reopen safely.
Fishers will set up $500K loan fund for #SmallBusinesses to help them reopen.

The UK moves from the “contain” to the “delay” phase of its plan to tackle coronavirus. Boris Johnson announces that health workers will no longer test people for the virus in their homes, but will continue to test people already in hospitals.

One reason ramping up testing really matters: if reported cases are low because of lack of testing, people can’t asses their risk.

The more testing we do, the more actual cases and reported cases converge. That allows people to more accurately asses their risk of infection.

Imagine we did no testing so report cases was *zero*. People would asses their risk of infection at zero.
