What does this mean? It means less people are getting infected daily. Would we have to test at the same levels? Of course not. Are suspected cases being tested? Of course. Are actual infections higher? Yes as in every country. Could there be a 2nd wave? It is possible
Can weather affect it? Too early to tell. There are many hypotheses. What is the surest way to reduce infection risk? Avoid gatherings, wash hands wish soap before rouching face or wounds, wear a mask!

-Antibody tests are NOT conclusive proof of past/current infections OR immunity to SARS-CoV-2. In fact, an old flu from a related Coronavirus can give you a False +ve, likewise a SYMPTOMATIC case with NO antibodies yet could give you a False -ve, MUCH more often than PCR tests
-The GoldStandard so conveniently disproved shows those inaccuracies only when UNTRAINED individuals sample. In fact both FDA&WHO recommend ONLY PCR testing to check Covid19 diagnoses
-The people qouted as having had Covid19, was serological testing used for their status or PCR?

Social distancing is practically a physical distance between two persons, prescribed to prevent person to person transmission of a disease. How effective will this measure be in a country with a population of 207 million and average household size of approximately 7 members?
The situation gets complicated when we realize that approximately 68% of the households have 2 or less rooms and more than half of the population lives with extended family. In such a situation, social distancing becomes a challenging issue. #PakistanFightsCorona #Pakistan
In countries like Pakistan, people live in clusters called families and approximately 50% of the population lives with extended family. Thus, home isolation is expected to cause incidence of family clusters and that should not surprise the public health experts. #COVID19Pakistan
