    People,

    India is managing Corona Virus relatively well compared to Europe and US...

    Most of Corona Virus cases came to India from Saudi and Dubai...they are reporting very few cases ...lesser than India ....which is surprising...Something is wrong with their reporting system like China or they have resistance for this Virus for UNKNOWN reasons....

    ...Tak...Takk...

    it came from Transit Passengers from Europe, China, Iran travelling to other destinations via Dubai, as Dubai being central Hub for international connecting flights to south east Asia and the biggest and busiest airport handling thousands in one terminal also the air condition system inside UAE airports are super cold. nobody knew about this in the beginning since February until recently as the virus was there with flu like symptoms.

    their systems are not wrong they are lying with actual figures, Saudi has the most but its all wrapped under thick blanket.

    Subhash Chandra, Mangalore,

    I know you are a physician...who worked in International ships...and perhaps in US too...

    I have some serious doubts about air crafts and Building HVAC / Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Circulation system....if it accelerates spread of Virus...

    I live in a Single House...most of the cases reported in US are Multi dwelling Housing complexes or people traveled through Air crafts or Airports...

    This is my thought and question....perhaps time will answer this...

    US press is reporting Chinese Corona Virus related deaths about 40000 not 4000 as reported by Chinese authorities...

    ...Tak...Takk...

    You are comparing oranges with apples. We have climatic advantage at this time of the year as it's reported that virus doesn't survive temperatures above 28 -30℃ for long. Also you guys can't imagine giving free hand to cops to deal with social distancing violators, not to mention the disinfectant spray on migrant workers! Moral : desperate times call for desperate measures.

    I have heard people saying & felt myself that when we travel to India (during normal time & not during Corona Virus) we do not get any fever, but when we come back we do get fever. This is because of ultra long distance travel. This has not happened to me when I had traveled to & fro on several occasions from India to the middle-east. Now during the time of corona virus, people are testing positive with shorter long distance travel possibly due to lesser immunity & stronger virus.
    I feel that there is high immunity level in India because India is densely populated. Unlike in China where population is more but the country is also big. On the other side US is big & population is low. Especially people who live in the outskirts here like us always have social distancing because outskirts is less densely populated unlike the cities. Also many people are not very comfortable driving to the outskirts to & fro from work. Imagine going at 120km/hr on Bharatmala (freeway) in Shiradi ghat everyday to work in car from Mangalore to Bangalore where there are not hair pin bends but straight roads & you see deep valley on both the sides. This is the reason many people prefer to live in the cities or close to it where there is public transport.
