    Let's resolve this matter once and for all. Are people of India more immune to the virus than other countries - if so, we do not have to fear as much. This theory can be easily proven by doing an antibody test (not the virus test) among the population - let it be free of charge otherwise people will be hesitant to get tested.

    I still believe all these cases came from quarantined wards.
    No new cases coming to hospitals these days??

    It is better if government does few random tests among general public.

    With higher positive cases coming up & low recovery rates we may soon overtake Kerala figures. The recovery rate is higher in Kerala than Karnataka. We need to act fast, we cannot afford to go slack.

    This is not a race to see which state overtakes the other.. yet again, I sternly insist most testing has to be done!!! More testing by identifying the right potential candidates !!! Simply more testing is need of the hour, we can’t keep the lockdown forever , as that is not going to be fruitful either.
