Why has the Government of India discontinued daily briefings on the health situation?
All countries inform their citizens through the press in a time of crisis.
At such times credible and professionally competent faces should be telling us what is happening.

The health ministry official when he was briefing last kept saying that MAYBE the peak will never come.
What are we to make of this assertion?
Is there a larger design to this statement made not once but thrice?

Recovery rates are rising, says the government. Fine. But does this have any scientific meaning?
Recovery rate is a function of the time of entry into hospital. What about cases where the COVID patient does not have access or is denied entry into hospitals?

The Standing Committee on Health, of which I was a member for 5 years, is chaired by the very sober and responsible Prof. Ram Gopal Yadav.
The Committee should be allowed to meet and interact with the Health Ministry and ICMR.

The Health Minister, a medical doctor himself, has so far stayed away from daily briefings.
My suggestion to govt:
Let Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director of AIIMS, brief the country every evening.
Let experts speak relying on facts & science. Our citizens deserve the truth.
