A few observations from 3rd May 2020 National Data on the Coronavirus pandemic:-
1. Confirmed cases have started increasing at an increasing rate at 6.3% since the last 5 days resulting in a decrease in the doubling period of confirmed cases to 11.36 days from 12.26 days 5 days earlier.
The Chairman of Delhi Minorities Commission, Mr Zafarul-Islam Khan in his a social media post finds that Zakir Naik is a hero who is respected across the globe in Muslim world! He is praising a person to everyone’s astonishment who is accused of and being investigated for his alleged role in Dhaka bomb blast in 2016 by Indian security establishments. He has been absconding from India for the last four years. At first place, it is surprising that the person who is responsible to ensure that the minorities in Delhi are treated well and equally is championing a person who is charged for his extremist views that are capable of turning youth into terrorists at least in two terror attacks; one in Bangladesh and the other one in Sri Lanka in 2019!
कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण को रोकने उद्देश्य से भारत में लगाए गए लॉकडॉउन का दूसरा चरण भी खत्म होने वाला है। इस लॉकडॉउन के कुछ अपने फायदे हैं तो कुछ निहित नुकसान भी हैं। लॉकडॉउन से संबन्धित हानि व लाभ को देखते हुए आज देश में बहुत सारे लोग लॉकडॉउन के औचित्य को लेकर अनेक प्रश्न कर रहे हैं। प्रश्न करने वाले व्यक्ति में हर क्षेत्र से संबन्धित हैं। अब तक अनुभवों व लोगों की परेशानियों को देखते हुए इन प्रश्नों का उठना स्वाभाविक ही है। फिर भी बाकी लोगों की तुलना में राजनैतिक क्षेत्र के व्यक्ति इन प्रश्नों को लेकर अधिक मूखर हैं। इन प्रश्नों को देखते हुए ये आवश्यक हो जाता है कि इनका उत्तर कुछ अतिरिक्त प्रश्नों एवं उपल्ब्ध आंकड़ों के आधार पर दिया जाए।
A few observations from 28th April data on the Coronavirus pandemic:- 1. Doubling period is still around 10.5%. There is no improvement in it since last three days. 2. Numbers of total active cases are growing at increasing rate and growth in recovered cases is slower in comparison to yesterday.
1. Total recovered cases growing at higher rate than that of the total active cases. This indicates that lockdown is working for India.
2. Growth in active cases is lower than that of the growth in recovered cases and the trend is continuing for the last few days. This pandemic will be over in a few months.
Almost half of the total numbers of districts in India are now free from any Coronavirus infection. States like Goa, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal are Corona free. This is really good news for the whole country. Economic activities in these areas can slowly be resumed in a staggered manner. But as per data, the situation in West Bengal in front of testing is a cause of concern for the whole country. Testing in West Bengal is among the lowest in India, considering the population and comparatively has very high confirmed cases in comparison to other states. Still as per news reports, the state government of West Bengal seems little serious about the severity of the situation.
