Guys, don't believe the fluff about tests per million. It is a useless metric to see how well a country is testing. India still has over 50% of its population in districts not even touched by the virus, so it's meaningless to think we should test everyone.
No country, not even South Korea is testing everyone. Even South Korea with it's high testing only tests 9 out of 1000 persons.
Far more useful metric is test positivity.
Indian test positivity so far is 4% while that of uk is 18% and that of USA is 16%. And this rate is going down. What it means is that India is testing 96 negatives for every 4 positives while USA is testing only 84 negatives for every 16 positives. This means that India for the given viral load/disease load is testing four times the number of people compared to the USA/UK.
And as we have raised the number of tests, the test positivity is steadily going down. It was 5% at the start of April and has now fallen to 3%. So we are actually testing more people for the disease load than western countries.
BTW, do you know that France and uk have asked their young corona patients to stay home rather than come tested for their disease in hospitals?
So don't get taken in by the fluff and bs the Western racist media scum and their sepoys in India are spreading about Indian testing
Indian testing rate has been fine and it is being increased as the demand rises. The Western filth will rather blame the low numbers in India on low tests per million, which is a useless term, than acknowledge that their white asses were incompetent in dealing with the virus compared to brown Indians.
Just to show how stupid tests per million is, here is an example- India has done 0 tests for ebola virus now which is lower than African countries even. Does that mean India has a poorer testing than African countries for the ebola? Of course not. India doesn't test for ebola as there is no need for it here. Similarly we aren't testing as many as Americans as there is no need for it as of yet.
BTW, Pakistan have tested 50000 and have found 5000 cases, test positivity of 10%. India has tested 200,000 people and have found 10000 cases, so India has tested four times the number are pakis while having only 2 times the case. So India is testing more for the given case load. Test positivity is a better indicator in this regard. So chill and trust our govt
