Corona: Did Unlock-1 prove to be disastrous in India?

India has now reached number four in the world in terms of corona infection. America, Brazil and Russia are only ahead of India.

Meanwhile, on 16 and 17 June, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi is going to meet again with the Chief Ministers of the states.

Unlock-1 has been implemented differently across India from 1 June. In Unlock-1, religious sites, restaurants and malls were allowed to open.

This is the first meeting between the Prime Minister and the Chief Ministers to assess the situation thereafter.

This meeting is considered to be very important in the growing cases of corona in India and the statistics of increasing deaths everyday.

Especially when the central government of India has formed a team of 12 experts for Delhi.

The biggest question is whether what you gained from the lockdown was lost in Unlock-1?

As of May 31, there were a total of 1,82,000 cases of corona in India.

While on June 15, there are 3,32,000 cases. That means a little less than double.

Unlock-1 has had the worst impact in Delhi and Mumbai.

On May 31, where there were 18549 cases in Delhi, on 15 June this figure is more than 41 thousand.

Maharashtra had 65159 cases on 31 May, which has increased to 1 lakh 8 thousand on 15 June.

The above facts prove that the speed of growth of Corona in India has increased after Unlock-1.

The first case of corona in India was found on 30 January. When Modi announced the lockdown on March 24, there were only 550 positive cases in India.

Therefore, with the speed with which cases are increasing daily, people are growing worried.

The same is true of death statistics. The number of people who died of corona till June 15 in India is 9520, which was 5164 in India till May 31, i.e. not many people died in India in three months, almost as many people died in the first 15 days of June.

Talking about Delhi, till May 31, the death toll was 416, which has now increased to 1327. That is, almost three times.

As of 31 May, there were 2197 deaths in Maharashtra. Which is 3950 as of 15 June. That is, the death toll has almost doubled.

But one good thing for India is that India is not among the top five countries in the world in death statistics. The five countries where Corona has the highest number of deaths are the United States, Brazil, Britain, Italy and France.

On May 31, about 1 lakh 25 thousand people were tested in India. While on 14 June, a total of 1 lakh 15 thousand corona tests were conducted in India.

By the way, these statistics definitely change every day. But it is not that in the last 15 days there has been a huge increase in the number of corona tests. Even today only one and a quarter to one and a half lakh people are being tested in India.

In Delhi, these numbers have decreased slightly in the last few days. The Delhi government took action on some testing labs in the early week of June. Because of which the Tests started falling short.

More than 2000 cases of corona are being reported daily in Delhi for the last three days. The state of Maharashtra is no different.

As of May 31, there were 37 lakh 37 thousand Tests in India. At the same time, 57 lakh 74 thousand tests have been done in India till 14 June. There are about 20 lakh tests done in 15 days.

By the end of May, the recovery rate in India was said to be 47.76%. The recovery rate for corona-infected patients is 51 percent. In Unlock-1, the government is seeing this as a positive sign.

But these are lower than the national average in Delhi and Mumbai. The recovery rate in Delhi at this time is around 38%, and Mumbai's recovery rate is over 45%.

But globally, India is not at the forefront of the recovery rate. Germany's recovery rate is around 90%, the best in the world.

Iran and Italy are next. The recovery rate in these two countries is above 70. The recovery rate in India at the moment is comparable to Russia where the recovery rate is around 50%.

India's well-known doctor Mohsin Wali believes that on the basis of these statistics, it is being said that the country has ruined everything they achieved by lockdown.

According to him, the statistics are showing that people took advantage of the unlocked discounts and forgot to do social distancing, wearing masks and washing hands.

The movement of migrant workers increased the corona virus infection. Asked whether the migrant laborers went from one place to another in May, Dr. Wali says that its effect is visible on the country's corona graph only in June.

But Doctor Vali still does not believe that unlock-1 should be removed and lockdown again. According to him, if you want to live with the corona, then sitting at home is not the solution. We have to continue all the work but taking precaution.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has also said that there is no plan to lockdown in Delhi again.

The people of the traders association of Delhi are also saying the same thing. The traders of Delhi decided that the Delhi markets would be open at present.

The decision to keep the markets closed, open or in the markets for odd-even arrangement or to open the shop one day after the other day, the traders associations of Delhi will take the decision by assessing the situation themselves.

Recently, despite the permission to open all the religious places of India, Jama Masjid in Delhi has been closed till June 30.

The eyes are now set on the meeting of the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers of India on 16-17 June. In view of the growing corona graph of India, what decision does the Prime Minister of India make?
