    Kasaragod has lot of non-residents doing unskilled labour type of jobs in gulf... because of the living conditions are very poor, chances of infection is high, social distancing is not possible because they are accommodated in labour camps. Instead of these people again having to pass through abysmally unsatisfactory medical facilities in North Kerala, better Kerala Govt shifts them to cochin or trivandrum through helicopters...

    Kerala has highest number of cases due to efficient tracking and testing, not just because of NRI population, it is going to swell further as rapid testing is going to start this week. Just wait and watch the numbers in Karnataka will swell as and when the testing efficiency is improved. All states in India need to focus on improved testing counts asap.

    Looks like Kerala CM strongly believes that liquor will revive and cure many as he has proposed for liquor to be part of the medical prescription. Why doesnt he actually start in making make shift hospitals, ambulance labs to collect and test samples, bring in their strong medical team which he proudly boasts of and start attending the patients in kerala rather just politicizing the issue and asking to open borders. Whereas center has already provided strict guidelines for centers to be closed completely and only kept open for med supplies and essential items.

    Kerala, has notoriously become the epicenter of Coronavirus, in our nation.... Alarm bells are ringing, in Dakshin Kannada district, as the patients are gate crashing, into Kudla for treatment... CM Vijayan, has failed to develop his state, he believes that Kudla is an extended arm of Kerala !!!! The fear of transmission the fatal pandemic into Karnataka is absolutely frightening !!!!!

    Pinarayi ia in a hurry to open the border. In long years kerala state government is failed to create jobs, food and hospitals for their citizen. They fully depend on Karnataka,Tamilndu for the medical ,food and commodity. Still they pat their back themselves. Time to change Kerala. You cannot live with only Coconut.

    By the way this virus is spreading around the world, it now appears it is going to touch the lives of at least half the worlds population.

    I am seriously wondering why was there little or no serious action taken by the authorities around the world when a Chinese doctor in Wuhan got his first case on November 17, 2019 and there was little or no strong action taken by our leaders for over 4 months.

    Corona cases in Kasargod swelling,
    Then you come to Mangalore for a dwelling.
    The people of Kerala should know that Mangalore is safe and when we open borders of Karnataka, Mangalore will be in danger.

    Border district. All people came to Mangalore by flight from Feb 1st onwards should be checked properly. Hope the administration is noted their contact nos. Start carona helpline desk. Recrute youngsters for this Job. If any symptoms with any patients kindly do the test. There should be vehicle labs to collect the samples.

    More than half are returned from the Gulf and other countries. This is what happening if you leave you place to outer world to make money and jump the ship at first signal of sinking.

    Now, tend to your sick, don't flush them out to neighbouring states. Use the money you earned, don't pickle it up.

    No, they should have maintained the self-quarantine when they knew that they fled virus-infected nations. Why Karnataka should shoulder their sickness ?

    This is why one shud follow precautions and, quarantine themselves after coming from abroad. They came down, randomly went around meeting people and spreading infection. If borders were not closed, we would have the same case like them now.. To each one his own..
