COVID-19:

CORONA CURVE AND LOCK DOWN:

                                         

Govt of India reported that India is only at the 2^nd stage of transmission and scientists warned that it India may not be able to control the situation if it goes to the 3^rd stage of transmission since it has the second highest population in the world. Looking at the Corona Curve of India it looks steeper than its Asian peers Japan, Indonesia etc.. So if the curve continues to grow in that rate it will definitely be a major problem for India as it have the ratio of 1:1457(doctor to person ratio).Indian state Kerala have successfully flattened its curve as the number of recovered cases is higher than the no of active cases. It was confirmed by the Kerala financial minister in twitter. Mumbai holds the highest no of active cases (1896) in India.

LOCK DOWN:

                                        

India extended its lock down till May 3, 2020. Government of India also said that some exceptions can be made in some areas based on their tackling projects on Corona and also based on no of active cases. After, April 20 some activities like farming, movement of Cargo and IT companies with 50% of its employees and some other activities is allowed to remain active as quoted by Government. This lock down with no doubt severely hit people in lower middle class and the people below the poverty line. They are requesting government to provide some basic needs since due to this lock down they are earning nothing because most of them are daily wage workers. Let’s hope government will take care of each and everyone of them.

We can also extend our helping hands to them by giving them some things which satisfies their basic needs. Take care of our Animal friends.
