Another weekend of low testing numbers. Yesterday, #India did only 710,000 tests(down from 987k on 26Sept and 1.34 Million the day before that. Officially, there were 82k new cases and 1039 deaths y/day. The total #Cornoavirus infections has crossed the 6 Million mark.
In a World league table, #India is fast catching up on current Number 1 USA.
There are those who argue that for its size of population India has had far fewer infections compared to some countries. But in a global context 18% of the world's cases occurred in India.
More recently, if you count cases in the last 14 days, India accounted for far more cases than any other country.
And India's tally of 82k new cases yesterday, even if it reflects a dip in testing, is a huge by international comparisons.
Meanwhile, the Great #Indian #FreedomofTheMedia is being effectively deployed in diverting the people's attention away from real problems and on to the made up problem of alleged cannabis use by prominent Bollywood stars.
