Around 1600 people have successfully recovered in Italy. Lowest number of new cases in the last 13 days (since March 17) - 4050 cases Highest number of new recoveries (1,590) since the beginning of the epidemic Though Monday numbers are usually down compared to midweek. Let's see how it goes today-tomorrow. The recovery:death ratio is very narrow. 55% vs 45%. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bird Bird Bird 824 Report post Posted March 31 https://the-ken.com/story/chaos-covid-19-tests-icmr-strategy/ Brilliant article by The Ken on how the even getting test kits (by labs) is a mess right now. It's free to read, but you have to register. Highly highly recommend it though. I haven't seen this topic so thoroughly investigated as here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is serious, but the unrelenting media attention and the minute by minute counts are making it worse. Imagine if they started monitoring death counts from other common diseases this way. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

playstationdude 511 Report post Posted March 31 Dumb Americans. Though the situation here isnt really promising either. Apparently people are "bored" and need to "go out for a change". Damn idiots will take everyone down with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walker 1421 Report post Posted March 31 Well bit of an upside living in a semi-urban-almost-village like mine is I can leave the house and walk a kilometer and probably pass 10 people on a normal day. Now maybe 2. Which is why it was such a shame the way things were mismanaged here. Should have been easier to manage given the lower density of population.

codwapeace 7 Report post Posted March 31 (edited) 13 hours ago, SRINI87 said: Guys post some good news This is getting depressing Approximately 1.5 lakh people die in road crashes in India each year, on average 400 people lose their lives every day on the roads. If we really wanted, we could make a change today and could reduce this number by quite a lot. I used to think that it is really difficult, but the way govt. has been able to control the people in this crisis time, I am pretty sure that they could do it on the road during non-crisis time understanding the severity of road accidents. Corona will go after some time, but roads will stay and driving will stay. We should instead focus on improving the situation that affects us everyday. It is not as bad as it sounds. Every single day of every week of every month of every year 400 people in India (official figure) lose their lives to road accidents. Every single day. It is mind boggling, why people and govt. does not make a bigger deal out of it. I am very sure Corona has helped reduce the number of road accident deaths in India. (probably 90%). So, it has saved at least 3600 lives till today (360 lives/day*10days of lockdown). It has helped clean the environment and made us believe that we can live life without running all the time in maddening traffic. It is so quite and peaceful now a days. Enjoy it. I am pretty sure that we will never see it in our life again. 24 hour news channels are the biggest cause of creating fear in the minds of people. Sex sells. Fear sells 100 (or even 1000) times more than sex. Don't be a customer of the fear of these news channels. Our immune system becomes weak if we are stressed. So, if in the off chance that you catch the virus (or any other ailment for that matter), it would be best to be in a stressfree mode to enable the body to have the best chance of fighting the disease.
