    India to see 1 Crore cases by August end.
    Cases will keep on adding .

    Looks like the health department has come to a conclusion that any patient with comorbidities is sure to die and they are just letting that happen.
    Meanwile making sure that money is also made parallely.

    Corono is hear to stay.. start testing other stuff asap.

    Dumb health ministry run by a uneducated.

    What is the role of government here? Nothing..

    Many people do not like lockdown so government has little choice..
    So best practice is that stay indoors until storm gets over..

    Read carefully-All deaths due to comorbidities . Dying WITH Corona is not dying BECAUSE ofCorona.Comorbidities require treatment not Corona, which is not happening.

    Whether hospitals recorded similar deaths due to comorbidities prior to 2020? No right.. so all these deaths happening due to one invisible virus.

    Summary is that virus attacks healthy cells of a person and makes him sick. He has no power to fight other diseases at that stage , so ultimately death.

    Comorbidity means other existing illnesses like diabetes, kidney heart liver problems, other infections etc.Before Corona nearly all deaths in hospitals except accidents(mainly vehicular) and suicides (mainly poisoning) were due to such coexisting conditions.Now because of Corona people either are not getting treatment for such conditions as many hospitals have been converted to covid hospitals,doctors and ambulances not available, medicines not available etc . mainly due to lockdown and restrictions earlier.So deaths have increased,the virus gains an upper hand during such times(ghav par namak chidakna) but mainly it is the comorbidities that kill.Fear of Corona decreases the will power to fight the disease, people believe that Corona positive means a death warrant (actually it is just the opposite,90% do not even have symptoms!),this fear should be removed.Corona is just another respiratory viral infection that occours every few years ,now names are given to it like SARS,MERS, COVID etc.There is big money involved-antiviral medicines,testing kits of doubtful value,sanitizers ,masks,PPE., hospitalization, quarantine and so on.If you think beyond Corona you will understand this.
    Remove the fear of Corona and definitely you will be a happier person!
