Mujhe lag raha hai extend hoga. This 21 days is just a quarantine to allow time for the silent carriers to show symptoms and get caught. This doesn't account for the new victims that the silent carriers end up infecting inadvertently during these 21 days. They may start public transport for a short time just to allow one time migration of people who are stuck at their cities where they work. Once this mass is allowed to migrate to their homes, they might extend the lockdown.
Trump is saying that the US may see upto 2L deaths by the time this plateaus out and those projections are as far away as August. Murica is larger than India with a population that is 1/4 ours. Imagine how bad it could get in India. The 2000 live count it is showing right now is because of the nature of our sampling. We are ad hoc selecting those who have foreign travel history and who may have come in touch with infected people. Basically we are running BEHIND the virus. The infection happens first, then we count it. We are not doing mass testing. Me don't thinks that this 2000 is actually 2000/1.3 billion. Just counting 1.3 billion people during the census takes a full year, leave alone testing all of them for Corona in just one week. We haven't tested even 1% of our population yet. Utne testing kits hi nahi hai.
Basically we are waiting on the infected to raise his hand and self declare. Whenever secondary victims of infections will declare their symptoms at the end of these 21 days will be a truer figure. Then they may extend it, get more testing kits perform more proactive tests. It will be until May till we get a correct figure. The US figures appear so high because they are doing extensive testing.
Coronavirus lockdown should be extended by 15 days, says Harsh Goenka
